Both look great. I love black fangs. My car is in the body shop now gettn a new hood and bumper thanks to a deer. First thing Im doin when I get her back next week is re-plasti dipping my fangs I also asked for my old bumper back, which really has no damage. IDK why they are replacing it. Im gonna play around with making some air vents for my Stillen G3s

I think they both look great.

Honestly, if you aren't going the CF cover route, Plast-dip makes the most sense to "paint" something that low on the front of the car - chip resistent.

How well does the plasti dip hold up? Is there really any reason for me to tear it off and actually paint it?

Had mine on for months and it holds up VERY well!!! No chips or scrapes of any kind. No need to paint unless you dont like the textured finish of the Plasti Dip. I like the fact that you can remove it whenever you want

Thank you for serving our country. If it were up to me, all people in service would get a free Z when they come home.
