I didn't know you plasti dipped your grill..... I'll have to check it out some time. I did my emblems the other day. My son commented on how nice they turned out. After seeing my rims, he want's to do his on his S2000.

 

Yep. I love the way it turned out!

 

I thought my dad's CL-S was one of a kind having the A part of the emblem un-plastidipped. Guess not lol

 

Yeah, I wanted something to stand out.

 

I just took apart the lower grilles also and sprayed those.

I like the way it looks better. More black then grey and its been holding up plus easy to redo if needed.

Looks good gatr

 

Will get better pics after a wash.

 

That's one of the things I like about this product. You can redo or touch up at any time.

 

This is totally random lol but are those 6000k or 8000k headlights? Also love the end result, looks clean. Thinking about doing this in a few days.

 

They all should be 6k. Switchbacks, HID and DRl but they look really blue.

I replaced 8k with these 6k but doesn't look like it. But that pic is just DRL and switchbacks.

I got other pics with fogs and DRL and with HID, SB and Fogs around here somewhere.

 

How long have u had those fogs? Just wondering if the housing has held up fine.
Thanks

 

I just got the 3k bulbs couple months ago and that was the first time I turned them on lol. I put yellow overlays on around xmas time.

As far as the housings? They have 31,800 miles on them lol. I am not really happy how they are holding up honestly. The chrome strips inside seem like they are not holding well.

 

Has anyone noticed a fade to the black plastidip after 3 to 4 months?

 

Car stays in the garage unless I am driving it so no. lol

I use the coin op pressure washer to spray off bugs and stuff though. I just stay about 12" or so away to get big stuff and then brush - sponge off the little stuff gently. Dry off and go.

Been holding up pretty good.

 

here's mine

enjoy

 

does this easily peel off?

 

yes, if you have enough layers it will peel like tape

 

If not you can use some goo gone and it'll wipe right off

 

Just did mine last Friday

 

I like white. Not sure why I didnt't buy white.

Looking good.

 

Cars look great!

 

Did mine this weekend..

 

Has anyone tried clear coating this? Not only to add protection but also to make it have a glossy look. Been thinking of doing the 3M Dinoc carbon fiber vinyl on the grill (did my interior) but this seems to be a viable route and I've played with plastidip in the past. With having my a-spec kit color matched to the car I don't think I'd be a fan of having my grill a matte black.

 

^^^ Sean, the makers of Plasti-dip also makes a product called glossifier. This goes over Plasti dip and makes a nice glossy finish. Check out dipyourcar.com they have a lot of cool products there.

 

[QUOTE=gatrhumpy;13817218] Someone rang?





Damn...now this is just sexy

 

Like what I see. I've been looking to do something to this grill since I'm not a huge fan of it. Looks like I will be buying some plastidip. lol

 

I will be doing this this weekend. Beginning my quest to eliminate all chrome.

 

first attempt at doing this was an epic fail. took my bumper off as I was changing a foglight, so I figured why not....did it last night in my garage, I was wondering what temperature you all did your spraying because mine came out all rough and ratchet-looking. it was probably around 40 degrees. I watched the videos of the guy spraying the r8 on dipyourcar and it didnt go nearly as smoothly as his..tomorrow I think Im going to try again just taping it off like they did on the website and see how it goes when it is 70 degrees and sunny.

 

wow, heated up the can a little with a space heater fan and tried the back emblems for s's and g's......makes a huge difference, it was almost coming out clumpy last night. will be doing the grill again tomorrow.

 

id say go for it i did my rims and liked the outcome i wanted to take a look at how my car would look with flat black wheels i did my grill with trim paint and that crap keeps chipping one of these days ill do it with plasti dip highly recommend if u want to change the look of ur car besides like stated it reversible u can always just peel it off

 

 

If this helps, I did the stock rims black.
And a combination of red and black on the grill.
It was 42 degrees outside.

 

That looks incredible. On any non black car, doing the whole thing black except for the caliper and/or ring around the caliper looks best. I'm also jealous of the deeper grille on the '07-08; looks much better.

 

the red doesn't look half bad....took me back like 4 years.

 

I think im going to go back to leaving only the caliper silver now and dip the ring. Forgot how nice that looked!

 

So I just got back from purchasing a couple bottles of plasti dip; considered applying it to my stock 2004 base tl rims. What are everyone's opinions?

 

i did this a couple months ago and my plasti is still holding up fine!

 

I decided to do a test run with it on my grill and emblems. Waiting for the final coat to dry. Looks good so far! Hopefully it will hold up pretty well.

 

Using Plast-dip as a base worked well too! Few coats of that, then NBP spray can, and then clear!
