Thanks! I'm not much into all the body kits and such as I like to keep it pretty subtle. I think what I did works about perfect for me.

Looks good but i dont think its will hold up well... should have just shot it with high temp spray paint if thats the look your going for. It will need to be done every 3-6 months

My buddy used the high temp on his GTR and he said it still has issues. I just like the fact that the plasti-dip can be taken off so easily. Again, this is just an experiment to see how well it work. I did outside sales in 100+ temps yesterday and the car never sit long enough to cool all the way down. I even did some spirited driving to try to get it hot back there. Still looks great, but I'll keep everyone posted.

Best of that picture? The license plate!
The car isn't half-bad either.
The tips looks sick man. I like it!

hey guys. I wanted to plastidip the front grill bezel, but I couldn't figure out how to get the rubber piece off (I was able to get the rest of it out, but not that top rubber trim piece). I know there are instructions, but apparently I'm not quite clever enough to figure it out. I am ashamed to admit that I tried spraying it while on the car (with massive amount of time masking everything else off) but it came out poorly, so I took it off. Ugh... Massive time waster, sadly... I was able to make my own bumper plugs for a lot less than the $30+ that bumperplugs.com charges and those came out well. They don't seat quite perfectly, but they work.

This shows how it's done. That rubber strip is very simple. you can stretch it to the right and it pulls out of some small clips. after you have the grill out, you'll need to remove those clips and put them back in the stripping. Then it's just snap right back in the holes. Very simple.

Try living in Austin and dealing with that crap!

Of course, the whorns were shaky against Wyoming for a while, so they don't have too much to talk about.

BTW, I'll be in Norman for the Baylor game Nov. 10th, if you want to meet up and race down Lindsey! ...j/k...kinda
