        Nice, as long as your happy with it. Not digging the way the rear bumper lines up near the wheel arches though.

          No, look at how it flares out a little. iS lip is flat up and down.

          I thought maybe the Rieger style, but the Reiger flares all the way from where it connects to the valence.

          That one goes straight down then flares a little. I like it.

                Have you ever painted something with PlastiDip before? This stuff is not impervious, it's not like bedliner. If it gets rubbed hard enough (which isn't that hard, a good bump up against it with clothing), it will simply rub off quite easily, like peeling a rubber cement off of something. This isn't a compound that really bonds to the surface you're applying it to. The adhesion is gone, and you'll be left with an edge all the way around the tear that isn't sandable or blendable. When you paint over the bad spot, you will be able to still see it clear as day underneath. Think about it like a pothole in the road when it snows, you can see everything under the snow, usually in greater relief because of the way it piles up.

                  this was my first time "plasti dipping" a car. I have no complaints so far. Ive power washed it...painted over some door dings with my red touch up can and etc. and hand washed it with soap and the shammy looking thing that they gave me in the kit. Ive had no "peeling" or fading or whatever else ppl say about it. just have to prep and do it right the first time. My 3 gallons and 6 coats of dip plus the hot AZ sun just baked the dip right on and have had no problems as of yet.
