Looks good. Just don't EVER plastidip the wheels. Every car I've seen with plastidipped wheels looks like after about 2 weeks.

I'm sure you weren't planning on it. I just figured I'd throw it out there.

Please. Save the plasti-dip ‘mods’ for the Subaru / Civic crowd...

I’ll never understand why people will spend nearly 50k on a car, then spay canned rubber from Pep Boys on it in an attempt to make it look better. But to each their own.

Do the hood! But only use 3 cans, no more, or it'll come off...

Did it to exhaust tips, as the large chrome tips seemed to stand out too much.

Any one thought about plasti dipping the acura logo on grill?


i've noticed when its snowing and the logo gets covered by the snow, it affects the radars behind the logo from working. I wonder if the plasti dip or any wrapping material will affect it.

i thought about doing the outer ring of the front emblem, but didn’t want to risk messing with the radar sensors...the actual logo itself is housed behind a protective glass and is not exposed.

Agreed - assume it needs to come apart somehow to get that, being that it's under the clear plastic. I'll probably buy a rattle can of the blue online and give it a go...

It’ll be fine, it’s not hot enough.
