If it's going to be driven, consider custom 3M for the front (hood opening forward) and the front of the rear wheel wells. Get it done before the 1st mile and before the 1st stone chip. A relatively cheap investment in your project. I wouldn't bother with the paint defender system. I applied it on mine and the +10K paint job got hammered anyways.
