I bought a **** load of plasti products from the dipyourcar website to toy around with, haha! Plasti dip is a cool product and I really like the glossifier that they have for it. Front grill looks good!

It definitely makes a statement.

How does plastdip hold up on leading edges like this grill against road debris?

I've been meaning to do mine, I have the paint, I like the floating emblem look. Did you remove the grill or mask the car off? My only concern is getting paint between the grill and radiator, or on the radiator as it would clog the aluminum grid.
