Yay or nay??? This stuff is cool to get an idea with!!! Easy to apply/remove. What do you guys think before I do a more permanent application?

Yeah, what he said, I would zoom out a bit. Take some pics during the day and we can get a better feel for it. But it looks good so far.

ahhh yess very cool idea!
i was thinking about going to this tint/vinyl shop guy in Great Neck to get him to do matte black vinyl on the lower section of the front bumper.. but he was talking about having to remove the grill ($50) and then charging like $170 to do the vinyl work.. i was like oh hell no. then i saw the TRD/toyota front bumper garnish that covers that spot.. but thats like over $280... so i think this might be the perfect solution and its not permanent! but my question is... if lets say i do enough coats... how likely is it that a rock or chip will occur? or will the plastidip come off during a car wash? |

I like the look of the lower lip but I'm not really a fan of the black side 'vent'. It doesn't seem to mesh well and looks really out of place. Actually, i'm not really of the weird side vent at all...it's just weird. Anyways, on the plasti dip itself, you did a wonderful job!
