Are they $40!!??!. I totally forgot how much i spend on them. Anyway, They were very poor quality. The metal was very thin and cheap finish. I put them back in the package and have never seen them again.

$35.99 hide-away plate

Robot Check Robot Check

I didn't want it under the lip because NY roads are horrible, and didn't want to risk it getting ripped off. So I cut into the lower grille and mounted it there. Will have pics up later on.

Diode Dynamics makes a nice acrylic panel. Went with the aluminum look myself. $12





If you have this version, its only $8


And some cheap & easy underhood bling, $12

I just got it installed over the summer, so this will be my first winter. But since it is the manual kit I don't foresee any issues with it.

Had fun with plastidip yesterday. Did my fog rings, window trim and trunk button. Turned out great. The Home Depot stuff leaves a smooth even finish

I figured this might be a good thread to ask this question. Does anyone know where I could find a replica OEM-style sport lip for the G37 sedan (2012)? Replica non-sport lips are pretty common, but I don't think I've found a replica of the OEM sport lip for the sport sedan yet. It would be great to find something that looks identical without having to spend $350 - $400.

Even if you find a replica for $100-150, you're going to have to pay another $150-200 to get it painted. Why not just get an OEM lip already painted Easily found for $300-350 shipped from a dealer.

[QUOTE=Rochester;3624879]$10 in primer and paint, and you can customize your engine cover. Here's mine:

dDid you just tape off the areas you didn't want black or yellow? or use a stencil? Anytime I try plasti dipping, I tend to get a lot of "pull" when I don't get an area completely taped! Also this is not plasti dip, but real paint correct?
