Plasti Dip Grille

[Ilya]

So...not sure how many of you know about this product but I just found out about it from some guys on the local car forum I'm on. Basically, it's an alternative to vinyl (you know, those guys who have wrapped their cars in vinyl) that is just as easy to remove, etc. You can buy a can locally at a hardware store and evidently it's easy to apply (doesn't run, etc.). That being said, considering some minor detail work on my car.


Which option would ya'll go with? I'm leaning towards option 1.


Original:

Option 1:

Option 2:

Man thats a tough one...I like them both but i'm a sucker for a little chrome. What is the product called? I've never seen or heard of this!

It's called Plasti Dip. You can get it at Lowes, etc.

I vote option 1 with sport headlights

 

[Ilya]

I'm modding on a budget lol. Sport headlights are far too expensive.

Post a DIY when you get to this. I want to do option #1 as well. that look pretty mean.

Yeah, Plastidip has been around for a while and, when done correctly, gives some top notch results!

I'd go for Option 1.

Sport headlights?? What do they look like compared to stock? Can anyone post some pics?! I have so much to learn!

 

[Ilya]

My headlights have a 'chrome' inside. Those are considered 'non-sport'. Sport headlights are smoked/black on the inside except for where the projector is, etc. Those are considered 'sport'.

Either way, a replacement headlight assembly in either look is like $500+ per side.

OK- I just found a thread on NICO about someone taking apart their whole headlight assembly and painting them black...it looks awesome!! I'm too chicken to take apart my headlights to do that....Maybe i'll get the courage up one day because it does look very nice.

I'd be tempted to smoke the housings. It just looks so good! Fortunately, the Y34s all came with smoked housings
