Removed the old pics :P I'll be fixing the N today, though I'd wait till the sun came back up to do some fine tuning!


Edit: Added daytime pics too!

I like the emblems but as far as the spolier. You should of gotten a real spoiler for like $200

Thanks, got a spoiler in my crosshairs, I was outside plasti dipping so I figured why not see how the spoiler looks as well. I definitely prefer a real spoiler though but leaving that thing chrome just made it seem out of place with the darker tails and darkened emblems.

Personally I think plasti-dip is crap but to each their own. In the end it looks ok, for a while. Part I am curious about is the taping off the rear. Seems easier to just remove the chrome piece.

Remove it for painting rather than tape off the whole back of the car.

+1 on this thought

I was still painting some of the emblems at the same time as well so I thought I'd do the chrome thing at the same time as well.

I think this looks good! I never used Plasti-dip but i may start to experiment with it and use it for the emblems just to see how it looks.

Where did you get yours?

Well I am ordering a spoiler this week from auto anything because 5-6 people bought spoilers from them and they said it fits perfect and is just like OEM for much cheaper. I have chrome also and I have my emblems black out buy yeah never for the spoiler =).
