Dipping the grill is actually easy. Put a piece of carboard behind the grill and tape it around and start dipping.

@op what % tint is on your windshield and windows?

yeah but i thought if the grill was still on car the dip wouldnt be able to get all the corners well and it would start to lift off. it was my forst time plasti dipping anything but i guess i learned thats not necessarily gonna happen lol. also its more fun taking it out and making it longer lol i did my grill with my friend who did his 2015 cls 550 spoiler and lip while we were in the garage smoking hookah, it was pouring rain

I was able to sneak the tape underneath the grill.. i had to use a knife in a few spots to get it to separate.. I wanna peel the L but I'm kinda nervous i'm gonna screw the rest of it up.. didn't have any corners lift up or anything when i peeled the tape off but like i said i used a knife where i needed to

I just peeled the L emblem.. Like i said I was nervous it would screw the rest of it up.. but it peeled right off.. couldn't have gone any better..

Also.. I'm a bit surprised no one has ripped on me for having so many dandelions on my front lawn haha I've been super busy lately haven't had to time to do it proper and my neighbour doesn't do jack shot either so that doesn't help

Machined face with a clear coat

I love the drop - and with the roads here I can't go any lower without ruining my car - one of the reasons I can't go to 20's haha

Only picture I took when I did it. Weather is garbage this weekend gonna put a coat of wax on this week and maybe I'll take a better one - happy with it now though I'm gonna leave the rest of it black

Full mod list:

F sport springs
F sport sway bars front and rear
F sport intake
Red out tails
Yellow fog vinyls (I have actual yellow housings that are going to be installed)
Tanabe Medallion touring exhaust (Waaaaay better then F sport)
LED interior lighting kit
Black roof spoiler
Wheels - Niche M170 19" 1 pc wheels
Fronts - 8.5" 35 offset with Michelin pilot sport A/S 3+ 225/35/19
Rears - 9.5" 45 offset with Michelin pilot sports A/S 3+ 275/30/19

Wheels are new - I had 18" stock lobster claw wheels on before

Been slowly building this car since I traded in my 08 IS 250.

Comments and advice on more mods is welcome













Id vote for ppe exhaust. Ppe headers with o2 sim no cat. Lighter weight 18'' wheels with 295's at the rear. Maybe some high quality racing coilovers. Some kirkey racing seats or light cheap knock off.
