Default Temporary Protection

Hi,
I am finally picking up my GT3 this week and I will have a 50miles drive betweem the dealer and PPF installer.
Considering the quality of the roads that I am going to drive on and other cars, I am afraid that in that 50 miles I get few ston chips.
I wodner if there is any temporary solution to protect the front of the car until I get it wrapped?
your help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Why not flat bed it with a painters plastic or canvas tarp.

Agree with the above. i.e., transport it. I use a guy with an enclosed trailer. He would be about $150 for a 50 mile round trip.

Not sure it's worth the worry. 50 miles isn't that far at the end of the day. Personally I would drive it there attempting to leave as much room between me and the cars in front of me. I drove mine back from NH to NJ before I took it in for PPF. Didn't have any chips and it was after a snowstorm in the Northeast so there was crap on the roads. YMMV

I did the same thing. It put about a 250 miles on my car before getting a clear bra and was just extra careful behind other vehicles. No issues with nicks or scratches.
