keep it on, I would do the same, a while back they had a spray for it like a paint and washes off sold at walmart. Protects the front end for long drives.

Looking goofy for a 20 hour drive or beating yourself for forever for severe rock chips all over your front bumper, the choice is yours.
FYI, when we had the socal SLO meet, I drove to SLO and up to NorCal and when I got home and cleaned up my bumper, it looked like someone ran light sandpaper across the front bumper. I would have taped it to hell if I knew that was going to happen to prevent that any day.

On long drives I put a couple layers of cellophane wrap on my bumper...removes easy, stays on te car without tape, and protects the front bumper and headlights from small rocks and sand...

Keep it on!
How long did that take you??
I bet that you were planning to keep it on before asking anyway. The dedication and time you put into it, it'll be silly to just rip it off!
