Too many people have done it. Sorry, I didn't get to re-doing it today.

I like the way it looks now, don't get me wrong, but you could finish the look up with the cpillars lol

have you tried using plasti dip on like front fand or rear diffuser? I did it and it was pain in the neck. first it came off so nice I was very happy with it. but then, when I tried to trim it with xacto knife, it was messacre. edge started to come off and all wiggling and so on...omg......... so I had to put like thin black tape at the edges to make it clean. I think I'm going to take the plasti dip off soon and just spray paint them....sigh...

IMO, it would look best if the side mirrors were matched- also the cutoff where it meets the hood is off, like many have said. I would like to see this done with a cleaner cutoff where it meets the hood- I think it could look pretty awesome.

I think you should do the side mirrors as well.

Can this be done over a clear bra? i was going to get one installed this weekend and was curious as to doing it after?

Looks nice! I would probably tweak the area where the door meets the fender.

nugenzboss 08-02-2011 05:58 PM

No I haven't, but it will work on both. Problem is, the rear valence area might get too hot because of the exhaust. Front will be fine.

I'm not sure about a clear bra, but you could try in on a small area. It should just peel right off.

Where you're going wrong is you're not following the lines of the car. You have to follow the upward and swooping line that is the gap between the front fender and door. Forgive my awful paint skills...

It needs to follow the windsheild curve at the bottom to the side windows.
