Protecting front bumper
What advice would you guys give me for the cheapest and not too noticeable way to protect the front end of the car on a 600 mile trip? Clear tape, painters tape?

Rocks will probably penetrate clear tape or painters tape. If you don't want to go for the expence of a 3M clear bra [about $500], then I would suggest an inexpensive nose mask, for about $100-150.

It's not something everyone needs IMO. It really depends on your specific driving conditions.
I see absolutely no need whatsoever to "protect" the front end. At 30k miles, my '05 front bumper looks terrific, but I drive exclusively on great California roads.

I would just get the GM Bra for $100.00 and use only for long trips.

'bout every 30k miles, some bozo hits the front end of my car and it gets replaced.
Works for me...
