Default Blue taping front bumper

I am about to go on a long road trip, so I blue taped my front end to protect from damage and to add to the sense of occasion. Are there any sensors in the front bumper or under the bumper that I need to be aware of? I just don't want to cover something up and cause an error with the on-board computers. Thanks for the help!

At $5 a roll, are you talking about something cheaper than painter's tape?

An alternative to the tape is a product called Road Wrap, a clear removable plastic sheeting or the other choice is to apply clear PlastiDip to the front of your car. Either are easily removed and leave no residue and afford more protection.

Please use automotive tape. The adhesive is milder and is designed to come off car paint. Otherwise I've heard some bad stories when using blue tape long term.
