Default Love it...or leave it???

I live in Wisconsin and am a huge Brewer fan. I am trying to do a subtle Brewers theme. I used Plasti-Dip on the emblems and grill. I like the rear...but I am not sure about the front. Some days I walk out and love it, other days not so much. So...I thought why not ask Club Lexus...so tell me, does it look good...or really bad?

Oh, and don't worry about my feelings, I candle handle negative input!!!

Not a big fan, but to each his own.

Plasti-dip and spray paint on things that are not suppose to be painted is tacky. Period.

I'm with20LS01. PlasticDip is tacky. I think it should stay with the 16 Y/O's on their pos beater cars. Would like to see more of these cars keep up the classy look. If you feel the need to change the color of the emblems the factory has several nice options. It's a little pricy but does not look tacky.

If you want to do this, take it to a body shop and have them pull the trim to actually paint it. I dechromed and blacked out my M3 and they did a fantastic job. As others have mentioned, I leave the plasti dip and rattlecan for my beater Jeeps.

The back doesn't look too bad imo, the front needs to go for sure though.

Thanks for the input...I wasn't really feeling the front, this just makes the decision easier to take it off!!!
