Looks good but why is the front of your car sitting on the ground?

Y is plastidip the new craze? It looks cheap and the textured finish sucks. Yes I know it's reversible but that still doesn't change the fact that it's ugly as hell.

The hole is for the tow hook. He's missing the cover.

But still want to know why his front is on the ground.

To show how low his car sits to the ground when he's coming out of his driveway.

It can always be redone.
I suspect that it may be smoother is spraying from top down, vs veritcal with the trunk closed.

The application on my trunk lip is smooth as can be.

It's one of the quickest cosmetic mods you can do for the emblem. And cost effective too. That's why.
