Default F Sport Chrome-Deleted Front Grille Surround Trim
Just did my chrome-delete for my front grille surround trim...

I'm not sure how I feel about it... I'm on the fence between the two... I would appreciate any feedback as it would help me decide whether to keep it or take it off lol thanks!!

I used 4-5 coats of Smoke Plasti-dip, and 3 coats of Glossifier Plasti-dip...

I think it looks great. Been meaning to do this myself as well. I'd say keep it for now and if it doesn't grow on you, you can peel it off easily because its plastidip

Thanks for the feedback! I will keep it and see if I end up liking it, but yes Plastidip advantage allows one to simply peel it off.

I did a matching color grill myself, I think it looks better than a black surround. All personal opinion though

do you peel the masking off immediately after spraying the last coat of glossifier to get a clean line?

looks good. How does it hold up through an automatic car wash?
