Installed RA flaps today, along with a wash and a few pics!

Just so happens I have a set of Blacks for sale in the marketplace.

I also noticed that, still waiting on a certain income to blow all on car parts. It'll be a few weeks, but if they are still around I'll shoot a pm.

All done. I hate it. I suck at things like this. Too many little imperfections! Going to pay someone to wrap it, or maybe remove it and paint it.

 

Some over spray on my hood and windshield, was a little windy today. Best way to remove it? Its not enough to peel off.

Consider giving it another shot. I bungled my first try at vinyl wrapping my interior trim, but on my second try I did just fine. It's always way cheaper to do stuff yourself and I personally get a lot of pride out of it as well.

You can do it!

I used the plasti-dip clear over the black on my grill and it helped the texture quite a bit, it was still visible close up but from 3 feet not visible at all, and it helped blend in with the combing too. But it's been almost a year now and it shows where I did it in a rush in the cold because the corners are peeling and the V vs Combing color is way off. But the grill is getting some more attention come spring time. And I will most likely do the window trim too.

Warm temps is the key, it will allow the dip to flatten out better and when you add coats it will liquefy more quickly and give you a more even finish. I've never had great luck with any dip project unless it's at least 65F.

The first time I did a grill, it turned out like ass. Now that I've done 4 or 5 grills, two sets of wheels and all my trim I'm getting a lot better at it and that's just spray can stuff. Don't give up on it, you can make it look pretty good with some practice!

Thanks! I feel like I can dip something good if I can take it off the car, but doing that trim on the car is such a pain. I will try again once it warms up. I'll leave it for now and throw my provas on.

Waiting to redip it before adding on the provas, as much as I want to see them on the car, I don't feel like peeling them off and adding new tape. Doing a lot on the first Sunday that hits over 65 degrees. Dipping trim, grille, wheels, adding provas, rear spoiler and roof spoiler.

 

But today I added this bobblehead, yes I'm a dork, I know!

Is 70 degrees today, so I installed my rear deck and roof spoiler. Removed old plastidip, so I can redo it soon. Btw, goo gone and microfiber towels work great at removing it! Also gave her a bath, and looking for something else to do before work!

And decided to try and dip the space between my exhaust tips, see how it comes out, while I'm down here, can anyone tell me about my exhaust? I know its after market and magnaflow mufflers, but that's it. Here are some pics.
