Default need some help with protecting new headlights on my 1998 Mustang

okay so i'm leaving thursday and driving down to southern georgia to see my girlfriend and for those of u who don't know since it's getting warmer outside (at least in middle georgia it is) the bugs are going to be horrible on the interstate...i'm leaving in the morning so hopefully they won't be so bad...but i just put BRAND new headlights and corners on my car and don't want to start off by having bugs and scrapes from rocks on it...I know i sound like a woosy but i love my paint job and headlights...so I'm wanting to tape off the whole front bumber and headlights and corners...can I just use 3M painters tape??? Thanks guys!

I've done it going to many shows. I've found the green painters tape works the best. The wider the better.

Default Bug Screen

They make a "universal fit" bug screen that is made of soft netting to protect the front of your car. You should be able to find it at a local parts store, but I'd call around first.

They are definitely available on line, but you don't have enough time to mess with that.

3M also makes a temporary spray-on shield that will protect it as long as you don't run it through a lot of rain or a car wash. I have my doubts how ANY of these will do with large gravel, but they should do a good job on everything else.

I think you're still a wee bit early on the lovebugs. They will be back soon, though.
