Save your money, if it stays on without falling apart in the rain, etc, it will not do much to protect your front end at all. It may catch a few bugs but with some detail spray and a towel those are easily removed.
If you do not want to spend big dollars on a clearbra then get a GM or similar style bra for around $100.00 and use it for roadtrips.

Looks like the clear plastic furniture wrap that you can buy at Lowes.....

It's terrible. Here is a thread from the Camaro forum where a lot of people tried it and were extremely unhappy with it.

Your best option is to get a clear bra. Then you never have to worry about it.

Road Wrap Crap
I used this stuff on my Expedition on a road trip from Texas to Las Vegas. It will ruin headlights---don't use this stuff at all--it also leaves a film on your paint surface that requires a polish job with an orbital polisher to get off.

Research it a little bit. Don't know about the other stuff other than I saw multiple negative reviews when I searched on the same topic as the OP. The the tracwrap is 7mil thick, not really thin like carpet/furniture protector that other reviews say the product the OP asked about is like. Its basically clear bra material with a different adhesive so it will peel right off. I used it and it worked great, I just needed to get a new car home (250 miles) before I had a clear bra installed. I compared the tracwrap with the 3M clear bra material and it was similar thickness. My experience was that the tracwrap is exaclty as presented. Hope that helps anyone who is interested.

1 or 2 small chips don't bother me but I understand some want to keep their car as perfect as possible. There is a saying about scratches and chips and adding character (I bet most would agree that's for the Z71 and not the Vette though.) LOL
