Protect the front end

When I picked up my new Rocket( v6 mt w/ navi) The Dealership offered something called RoadBlock. It is like an invisible bra. It is made by 3m and it is a sheet of plastic material that is put on the front end of the car,lights, and mirrors. It protects from bugs, sandblasts and small rocks.


I had it installed and you cant even see it!:eek:

i heard from some people who had it and didn't like how it looked, it could be just color of the car.
what color is your car?
how much did you pay for it?

I paid about 450 for the job they also did around the gas tank cover and the side spoilers under the doors. the car color is Saphire blue. my friend had his maroon volvo s80 done yesterday and it looks really good

yes that stuff is awesome! You can do it yourself for a little under 100.

how about some sample photos?
we have big ass bugs up here in Canada!

Leave it up to the dealer to rip you off! That stuff is a great idea, the only thing i dont like is that it turns yellow after a while becoming noticeable. Dont follow closey & you wont need to worry about rock chips. I use something similar on my Vette when going to & from shows. This product is removeable w/ no surface damage. It applies on the lower fender area behind the tires to prevent rock chips, paint spattler, tar splatter, etc then removed prior to showing.

VIN etching cost the dealer $20 for the kit & that takes car of 10 cars. They re-sell for over $100 - sometimes even more. Fabric protector, paint sealant, undercoating are also a huge rip-off. You can apply the same stuff for under $10 per product & have left over for other cars you may own or re-application.
