i didn't see anyone with a nice car that left the tape on for the show. what exactly do you mean by "clear wrap"? i'm guessing like saran wrap or something like it? unless its tape, i don't count on it staying put. a peice of tape on the edge of a hood sized peice of saran wrap will keep it on up to maybe 5mph. that crap would fly right off. plus, paint tape is a little thicker and harder to penetrate than saran wrap. and the whole "words written in tape" deal, people know their cars already look silly with tape all over them, why not take it to the next level and spell out something ridiculous? like i said earlier, IA is not all serious business. it's all in good fun.
