I noticed most ppl taped up the "A" emblem...

I want to keep mine chrome too I'm just wondering if it's possible to plastidip over it and just peel it off after.

Anyone tried this?

i'm sure it's doable, its just whether you want plastidip inside the emblem area, and it's just more work in the end.

Yes, that is what I did, just make sure you do very light coats layering it so its easy to peel off.

I think this is one of the best combinations; I did this on a friend's TL. Paired with blacked out headlights I think it flows really nicely. We did the headlights and the grill on the same day...piece of cake especially since the bumper was off the car

BUT. on WDP and on this silver color I PD'ing the silver trim looks good too. On darker colors though not really..
