I decided to try this with plasti dip to see how it would look on 2010 before I vinyl it. Not sure if I wanna keep it like this or paint a straight diagonal line like most of you guys do.

I like the angled look better. Debating do wrap or platidip myself.

Funny u said that. I just got done re doing mine last night to angle. In my opinion of you really like how it looks I would vinyl it. It's a pita taping and painting. Had to do it 2x. Sometimes the spray can just doesn't wanna work right. And I've plasti dipped a few things already so it's not like it's my first time. Either way you go it's removable. But vinyl will last longer and will be more durable that plasti dip.

Here is my go at it.

Was planning to do the surrounds but not sure how it would hold up there...

@Matt-erhorn keep us updated

Also what did you do to your mirrors? Covers or paint?

I would suggest wrapping it for durability.

I wrapped mine matte black. Big mistake on my part, it doesn't look so great on my steel grey metallic . It doesn't stand out because the color is too dull and blend in to steel grey. I should have gone with glossy black then maybe its more noticeable. Some day before I put on the front lip, I will wrap it gloss black.
