comment . Since I gave you a headache in the beginning why did you reply
to me.. All I needed to know was anyone's experience with Plasti dip.
The reason I wrote something on this site was to find out how to remove the front
Grill.. Obvisouly your not the person that could help me.. Save the dumb comments for
a child which I guess you must deal with daily.
Oh yea buy real Bike drive a "Busa". Your zx6r would have no chance.. Lol
That's one of my 14 Toys as I call them.
Thanks for the nice reply professor..
Lmao

I'm not into the whole blacked out grilles and emblems, I think it cheapens the look of the car. A nice set of wheels and nice drop is what I prefer.

He had a point, though. It's annoying to read when you write all jumbled up and sloppy like that.

But anyways, first thing I would do is get rid of the "nice" pinstripe. That's almost an oxymoron. I'm not into the plastidip emblems either. I think that the first thing with these cars is wheels and a drop, if you are trying to upgrade the appearance. Stay away from anything that costs less than $100 when changing the appearance... that will keep you away from most of the B.S. mods.

Be advised though, if you lower your AWD, you will probably get vibrations and/or wobbling. At least that is what many AWD owners on this forum have reported.

If you want some performance, the first thing I would do is get the sway bars. I have them on my AWD and it is a big improvement.

Apologies if I offended you You're obviously new to this forum and it's just a nice thing to do especially when asking for help on an online forum. Usually when I ask for assistance I try to make it easier for people not more difficult. No need to get your panties in a bunch And yes, apparantly I do deal with children because you remind me of one of them, you're taking it way too personal and are now attacking me by talking ***** about my bike. If you're this sensitive online I can't imagine how you would be in person. Best of luck

Thanks for the advice. I am new to this online talk and didn't
Proof read my work bc I was in a rush. I've had stuff painted
before by my bodyshop. Figured I would give this product a try but I get what your saying. You get what you pay for.
The pin strip I normally take off like my last Lexus but for some reason it breaks up the body of the car itself.
I wanted the Blk Lexus emblem look bc they don't make them for my yr Gs but Offered to send it out to the paint shop. Ill check into the sway bars right away. Thanks

I've used pasti dip when I had my MB. Works great on the emblems. Can always peel off. I just purchased an 06 GS300 so I'll be spraying those soon.
