Default Need ideas for temporary paint protection

It looks like in about a month I will be picking up my new IS350 from LA and driving it back go to Phoenix. I'm going to get PPF when I get it back to Phoenix, but I want to protect it on that drive. I'm only looking to protect the bottom portions of the front bumper.

Does anyone have any ideas for something that would act as PPF for that one trip that wouldn't look stupid, come off easily, or flap around in the wind? Maybe some kind of celophane or saran-wrap type thing?
