Tired of leaving smudges on the vert trunk lid? add some plastidip

plastidip results (everyone's doing it)

Since I did not remove the trunk lid it's not all the way perfect on stripping off the rubber in two areas as a little of the silver is showing. The fun thing is I can always redo it.

Better pics in the day light are coming (in the vert pic share)





A little dirt got on it, easily cleaned up

The vert trunks don't have the little handle inside for closing it like the coupes and sedans?

How much did it cost to do plasti-dip? To be honest my friend this plastidip does not look nice at all, looks like a big black smudge.. get the integrated antenna spoiler as suggested by cruzmisl

Interesting - You should do the antenna nubbin so they match.

Actual cost was less than 9 bucks (1 can plus 10ftx20ft plastic drop cloth)
Thanks for the feedback though. The letters and mount fuji are next.

If it was free right now, I'd take it The cards just don't see a spoiler this year.

Looks like Plasti-Dip is all the rage. You can even do your wheels...

I am sure they look nice but how long this Plasti-dip will last on the wheels?

I like powder coating on the wheels...

I wish I could help.. if you don't listen to the radio then you can get rid of the antenna with smurfy and replace it with plane satellite Radio Antenna ( which I can get you for only $100 including cap in VR color), MSRP is $260 and you can get the spoiler next year.
it will look like following (except the spoiler) instead what you have now:

you jumped on the plastidip craze! haha

it looks pretty good actually... but it might be my personal bias against anything chrome... I think if you got bluebats tail overlays or got the rear lights painted... it would flow a little better maybe... but i can't wait to see your emblems after you plastidip them! keep us posted.. haha

Yep, I've joined the craze! I want to see the overlays installed on a vert before I decide on that and a GTR style. Will update this as I get around to it.

Naw, the chrome piece was the issue. Now no issue.

LOL. Yes exactly. Easy removal if you don't like it. Eazy peazy parcheezy as Vince the Shamwow guy would say.
