Default Fangs, Emblems and Diffuser!

I had a couple cans of plasti dip just sitting around so i decided to experiment. sorry for the large pictures i still haven't learned how to make them smaller.

I first started off covering the whole car and taping the edge of the diffuser:




After i peeled the news paper and the tape off and left one layer of tape so it would dry up.



I ended up cutting it all wrong so i had to just rip it all off/:

The fangs came out very beautiful:



then:



after i peeled it off it looked amazing:



The emblems also came out very nice:

Hey Red. Nice job with the plasti dip. I'm doing a few things in the spring. Wheels, emblems ect. I have an evo-r diffuser already so don't need that. IMO I think keeping the fangs red on my car is the way to go. I think they add something to the front end. Yours do look good though.

Thanks fire! I want a new diffuser. Where did you buy your evo diffuser from? I like the fangs black cause it gives it like a mad look. I mean if you were close i would of help you out, its not so hard to plasti dip them.. You just need alot of patience!

I used the supplied 3 screws and then added two others. I'm not sure if the better 3m two sided tape would hold. I thnk that it would be possible to epoxy it and not have gaps. Maybe a black epoxy.
