PlastiDipped Badges / Wrapped Trim / New Grill Install
Only issue with the dip is that it is somewhat textured.
Wrap went flawlessly. Minimal bubbles and took me around an hour to do window trims, both top and bottom, and the trunk, which I redid as I ripped my initial install off from last weekend.
And the grill fits perfect as you can see in the pic. The fitment is as good as oem.
I hope you enjoy.
I will try and do an entire somewhat proper shoot this weekend, but dont want to waste too much time atm as I will be doing a full shoot once I get the springs installed.

You installed the widow trim wrap without removing it? Did you use that tape thing ordered or a proper 3M wrap? Instead of ordering chrome emblems and plasti dipping them, why didn't you just order the badging in black from ebay?

Yes I installed it on the car, and was able to wrap all edges and corners. Yes I used the 3M trim wrap I bought the other day.

I have worked with film in the past which I am sure helped with the install, but really this is a total DIY-er.
I'm still on the fence with the grill. It is the blackest object on the car. It stands out, just not sure if it is in a good way.

Ahhh man, you had to get me thinking about more stuff.... Lol
Nah man although many do not like the cf caps and the old school mirrors, I'm keeping them.
I will say, I am more than likely goin to go back to the oem grill and put this up for sale. I gotta get it out of the garage today and get a good look at it.
I guess I just really like the oem grill.

Nah, I am a big fan of the oem wheels. Maybe if I find something that's blows mind, but for now sticking oem wheels.
You think...? Well I will leave it on for a bit and see if it grows on me.
I ran mine right up against it.
I may not install them. If I decide to keep the grill (still on fence) I may strip the dip, sand the pieces and spray paint them to ensure a glossier finish than my results of Glossifying the dip have granted.
I like my mirror caps. Lol
When I get the time to get my car to the body shop for calipers I may have them shoot my mirrors gloss black if I keep the grill.
I would avoid removing the side-view mirrors, IMHO.
Nice part is I don't think he will require me to return the old one. We shall see...
I will keep you guys posted on my decision.
