I have quite a bit of the clear something-or-other adhesive protective film that I bought from JC Whitney years ago. It is about 6 inches wide and has a white paper backing. It's pretty thick but I don't think the adhesive is as strong as the above posts indicate. I'm not sure how it compares. I would guess it's 6 or 7 mils thick at least - about twice as thick as the stuff they use for clear masking the front of cars. I guess a couple pieces of it - one on top the other - at the very bottom of the scoop would provide pretty good protection other than a real solid, fiberglass cracking type impact.

I've also put clear urethane headlight plastic kits on our cars for about 10 years now. That stuff is really tough - about 1/16 inch thick and other than a case of some bubbling from overly hot fog lights - it seems industructable. Looks pretty much the same after 9 years of use. It would be some pretty nice stuff to find in bulk.
