I noticed that you have a thin layer of painters tape, judging because I can see the black coming from underneath the tape, does it matter if you put more than one layer or is one layer more than enough?
OP, great work with the taping, I've seen good taping before, but this is even better!

Looks good. I wonder if the way you did it with vertical lines is better than the horizontal lines.
What does taping have anything to do with owning a Lexus? Of course a tire will mess up ANY car. This is to protect from bugs and rock chips. People talk so much crap. Maybe you want to drive your own car and Not rent one. $130 is pretty cheap though. But you're going for a week and don't know how many miles you're traveling. You do what you want to do! It's your car!

When i took the tape off there was a nasty amount of bug guts and sand and dirt stuck to the tape. Definitely worth 2 hrs of my time and a few bucks for the tape, people do give you stupid looks though, i guess some people weren't taught not to stare lol. I made almost 1600 miles in the end.
Also, i put on a set of hankook ventus v12 for the trip. Driving up and down the winding roads of the Smokys was a blast, i really got to test out the car/tires on the trip. That was one of the reasons I didn't want a rental, and i averaged 29 mpg for the trip
