Its a rubber layer that you can paint or spray onto surfaces, which protects them from numerous things (corrosion, moisture, etc..). There available in many colors. It peels off very easily, so its not permanent. Its a good way to experiment different colors on your car and to also protect it. I'll be doing some testing tomorrow and will post pics once available

Yes I was thinking the same.. But now that I look at the rims black.. I'm starting to have second thoughts on it. It doesn't seem to suit it with all it's chrome trim around it. Well it was a fun experiment! Plasti Dip does work wonders thought.

spray that chrome trim and emblems with it and will look better otherwise just keep it on the grill
also unless you order online its almost impossible to find in other colors other then the flat/matte black color

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
Yeah I've decided to just leave the rims as they are, I will definitely check out lowering it soon! As for everything else, I think I'm going to just leave it on the grill only. And very true MBFLO. I live in BC and had to drive down to WA just to find some since its very hard to find here!

Thanks Joeker82! Yeah, I thought the rims would be too much.. But I will definitely get on that after I have my headlights changed. I was thinking either the GM16 or GM25?

I went with the color matched grill and flat emblem, then I realized I liked the chrome grill and target emblem better. If anyone with a Tectite facelift wants to trade your stock let me know... I wanna go back to stock.
here how it looks, color match is perfect as I used factory paint.

Well I didn't sand it, incase I wanted to remove the plasti-dip and leave it back to the chrome grill. It still sticks on pretty well! Washed it about 4-5 times since application with mild scrubbing and daily hwy driving, still no sign of it coming off!
