Outboard Hood Saver Idea

[chumbucket]

Not a bad idea, but would you trust that old rod or rocket launcher in a good blow? I don't think I would.
I suggested to someone once that they apply 3M or VentureSheild to the motor hood. It's that thick, clear mask they apply to the hood of expensive new cars to prevent rock chips and such. Between that and a good chafe guard, should do the trick.
