Thanks maximaguido for the tip.. I was thinking the same thing about when I wash it. Do you think getting it vynil wrapped would be better? I just don't want it to look good for a month and then it looks like garbage.. You know. There are a few places in queens I know that do the vynil but not to sure how it holds up... Thanks for the info. And the painters tape info...
I would recommend going to him for not only a great price, but also for the work that he loves to do. Tell him Chris the Italian guy (Silver Maxima) sent you. If you wanna see his work, just twitter; Paint Protect (The Tint Shop) or meet up and check my whip.

Thanks maximaguido, I'll def let you know when I'm going to do it. After talking about it I went to look at the trim and I noticed that the back driver door the trim was a little off, right around the curve of the door on top. I'm going to take it to the dealer as soon as I can and I don't want them saying anything. I will let you know.

I Finally got around to Plasti-dipping my front grille today. Man getting those last two clips off was pretty damn hard. You guys must have some small hands and forearms because I was ready to give up after ten minutes spent just trying to pop those last two clips. Thankfully I finally got it out. I just pray this stays chip free for a few years because i do not look forward to doing this again anytime soon.

I used newspapers and blue painters tape and then some old sheets on the car and was done in an hour.

Ok, so white on black SV grill now done up in Plasti-dip. Was a fun job. My hands were cut up trying to reach the lower clips, so I gave up and just unclipped the top so it hung forward a bit. This made the taping job much easier on 3/4th of the grille.
Lower intake was a bit more tricky pulling off the tape. Had to re-tape some spots and blast a thick patch coat, then pull away the tape while still wet.
Nicest $6 modification I thought possible. Half a can of the spray, half a roll of blue tape, but I splurged on the trigger handle for the spray can (another $5 )

Just ordered the Black Gloss Plastidip from the site..A bit expensive after shipping and tax, but I am going to do my whole lower bumper and trim it up. Then do the 2 mirrors maybe. If I like the Gloss look, I am going to redo my rims as well. Maybe my badges too. We shall see.
My question is, do I need the regular plasti dip then glossify it? It says on the site that I don't. If i do, then Its all good, Home Depot sells it!

I only bought 1 thing of gloss, 16 bucks..fml, but hopefully its enough!
I might do the Mirrors as well. I want the stillen front lip too. I have been modding my car out every week. I buy or do something new every week!
