keep from getting dings while on the truck I would guess, locations do seem kind of random though.

They normally put the tape in places where the car could get scratches in the very final processes of the assembly line. And as the post above said, while transporting the vehicle. Although, at our plant we put in all on the hood, roof and deckplate.

Wow them pic's are awesome, Not a big fan of the bright Yellow, and Im liking the darker shade red's especially with the racing stripes, glad they didn't wrap the car in them, But that Blue one ...now thats something different, Im really liking that one!
