Ken won't be driving the MCS until their all gone... heck, I might even call a cab if those things were swarming... They might leave hail divots in the bonnet at 70mph...

Now I find out. Well the clear bra took the hit, except it looks a little pitted.



PS Saw a bunch of cars on the track at Sebring yesterday that had the front covered with painters tape. Now I know.

So Ken - you use the blue 3M stuff? And just cover everything? One layer or more? Hmmm...

yes, 3M one layer will do fine, but you can double it if you prefer.

i layer about 1/4". start from bottom and work yourself up... kinda
like roofing.
