That spray-on stuff might be a good way to go for a short trip. Sniff around and see if you can find any reviews of it. I'd avoid a clear bra from Ebay. You don't know what you're getting, and you absolutely want it professionally installed.

Here's my car right after the clear bra was installed. See it? Me neither. And if I didn't tell you it was there, you probably wouldn't notice if you were standing right next to it.

personally I'd go w/ a clear bra, -they work great and you can hardly see them. I've had mine on for 1.5 years, -I have zero rock chips on the front of my car.

If you have the money clear bra. If you only have 6 bucks painters tape. Also here is a picture of my friends Audi all painters taped up. I know it is not normal blue color, but you get the picture.
