        Doesn´t look as bad as i thought it might. Makes me wonder if this might be a solution to painting the rubber portion of an M-Tech I spoiler. I imagine the plasti dip is more flexible than regular paint.

              Your interior looks really good. You should really and hour or two and a few bucks on black bumper paint and re-do the trim and grills. Other than that, the car looks great man.

                Thanks guys! I will be updating this thread sometime soon with some of the other modifications I've been working on like my all red tail lights and electric fan conversion.

                Overall, really well. I've had it on for 7 months and its done well. The only thing I don't like about it is that it stains and scratches easily. I have to be careful when working under the hood not to touch any of the plastidip afterwards because grease won't come off washing the car like it would with normal paint. You may be able to use some sort of cleaner to remove stains but I haven't looked into that yet. I have found that you can buy the spray cans of plastidip (same color) at Home Depot for easy touch ups (just clean and spray right over the stained area).

                Absolutely! Its very flexible and if you use enough coats it can easily be removed if you don't like it. I think you will though.;)
