Stretchy fabric bumper cover?



The video was posted in THIS THREAD and got me thinking about mocking something up with fabric that could easily stretch around the front bumper and hold in place for easy removal, instead of corrugated plastic or cardboard covers. It would have a sort of inner skeleton to keep it in a certain shape (like a tent has), but it could easily be removed and packed away when not needed.

Thoughts? Good idea, bad idea? Here's an idea of what my car looks like:


Any ideas on what type of fabric to use? It'd have to be something that is dense enough and rigid enough to not let air through easily, but at the same time light enough and cheap enough to make it worthwhile. It should probably be water resistant too for rainy weather so it doesn't retain weight.
