I have a black G and I dipped my "spoiler piece" and mt Fuji. Looks great. and I did not remove it off the car. Just mask well like an inch away. Go Black dip. It'll look GREAT!

i actually had my spoiler piece wrapped in matte black vinyl. came out great, guy charged me $40 when he did my tint. easier to clean than plasti-dip. I did have my emblem plasti-dipped black and it was easy and came out great. I also have the grill done with plasti-dip and it came out great and was super easy. From up close you can see that it is not smooth but from 2 feet away or further it looks super. Good noticable mod for $6.00.

How did you go around your camera?

Don't cover all the surrounding paint with tape, make sure you leave about 1-2cm of paint uncovered so you can peel it off and it'll give you a perfect cut at the spoiler.

I want to plastidip my spoiler and what to know what you did about the button and camera.

That's one of the best looking plasti-dip jobs I've seen. Not easy to get it looking that clean and consistent.

Did you plasti dip the under side of the car too? I was considering doing that or getting a cf rear diffuser. Also, have you tried plasti dipping the grill? I want to try it soon but 50/50 people say its good and bad.
