Default Blue tape!

edit: Is it illegal to tape the headlight?

When I drove down to Socal I had a good amount of rock chips and bug remains on my front bumper and some on my side-view mirrors. Would I be pulled over for putting blue tape on my car to prevent this? I'm going back up to Norcal soon and I don't want more chips and bugs

Just for fun...

No, you wouldn't be pulled over for blue tape.

Thanks for the replies! Also, I will be leaving in the morning and getting there around noon. Is it illegal to cover the headlights?

Honestly, i would cover everything but the headlights, you might get a D**K officer that could pull you over.

Thanks everyone! I will be covering the car up tomorrow with blue tape and saran wrap.

I'm wondering if I should get a temporary mesh grill (just for the trip back up) for the fmic...

And how many times do you end up taping off the front end, Why not jsut invest in a bro, or well scratch that, reason i dont like those, is cause dirt gets between the bra and paint, and will scratch, so yeah the taping idea is good, what size width tape you using.?
