I used one on my new 1994 Z-28 for 25 years until I sold it. It had perfect paint under the bra and I did not leave it on long term...only when driven on long trips and always made sure car was clean when I put it on. I wouldn’t recommend for a daily driver and if it rains I would take it off and make sure it was dry before using again. If used properly I feel it is great for protecting the paint from chips and bugs on long trips and it saves me a lot of time cleaning up bugs.

If you're concerned about prtecting your front end, buy a roll of track tape. You can get a roll for abot $25 and it is easy to install and remove. It will also help minimize cleaning the dead bugs off as well!

I always keep a kit in the car that includes:

• roll of duct tape
• handful of long zip ties
• tire plug kit as mentioned above

You can temporarily reconnect quite a few "wayward" car bits in a pinch with duct tape and zip ties. Consumes almost no space in either trunk.

I've also added one of these little Red Cross kits, tucks neatly behind the passenger seat. You never know, right?

For long road trips (multi-day), I add:

• extra device charging adapters / cables (phone, 12v lighter)
• one quart of my preferred oil of choice
• a neck pillow for passenger to use while sleeping
• optional - small assortment of hand tools

For a Boxster, I'd add hair bands and maybe a baseball cap, plus a couple of those golfing pullover windbreakers that I never wear anymore. Top is gonna be down, so best be prepared to make passengers comfy.

Someone did mention tire pressure, but it was buried in text. I'm old school and generally don't like bells and whistles, but the ability to check oil and tire pressure on the dash is Starship level technology.
