I see, I was rear ended last winter and they fixed my rear bumper, my buddy did it and left it black. I'll see if I can find a picture to show you.

root_galaxy Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Plasti dip is super easy, so is vinyl wrapping, I'm not sure how it'll do against the heat from the exhaust though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 ^ errr. not my cup 'o tea, but each to their own. it looks like the car has been raised at the rear, takes away the "low-look" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.blackgt. Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 It works just fine. I have the stromung with dual walled tips and it does absolutely fine with the exhaust almost touching. Not sure how it would be with any other exhausts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strizzy Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 Don't like the texture of plasti dip, so I painted it black, then a matte clear. http://www.strizzyphoto.com/Other/Subaru/i-gCzH2TD/0/X2/IMG_6793-X2.jpg My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
