front fangs
 
the krylon on my front fangs is chipping, any other alternatives yet? Vinyl? some sort of overlay or sumthing? cheers

I had a clear bra (Ventureshield) put on, protects it well but there are 2 downsides:

- Gives it a shine (I originally painted the fangs mat black)
- Fangs are not 100% covered by the clear bra, installer could not get the material in the far corners, so there still is a small edge towards the back exposed.

It shouldn't be chipping, short of just crap that hits it hard enough....

So:

1) Stop tailgating. Seriously, this is where most of the chips originate...
2) If it's actually chipping/peeling, then take it to the dealer as there is a flaw with the paint.

whattt how is that considering Rice lol. It looks good when the fangs are blacked out. But that's just my 2 cents.

if you like that style, why not get the evo-r CF one? :)

JakeZ34 12-07-2009 10:46 PM

personally I wouldn't take a spray can to my car at any cost. But I was recently involved in an accident so I told the body shop not to paint the fang area (copy Modshack hehe). But I believe the Evo-R is a stick on right? I never like stick on carbon fiber stuff, it makes it a bit thicker (I know I'm picky!) But yes the CF does look great too in the fang area.

kenchan 12-07-2009 10:53 PM

yah, the evo-r is a stick on. it too makes your car look like :eek:

;)
