But I think it came out very nice, for my first plasti-dip project that is.

The black grille looks MUCH MUCH better than the chrome grille imo.

Here are some pics, not the best quality sorry I used my phone.



What do you think?

Looks sweet man, the top coat of gloss is what most people forget to use when dipping as it looks cheap. Good job

Thanks man!

I ordered those vent overlays yesterday, was told they should be shipped by Thursday, can't wait to install those and complete the front look.

Next on the list, spacers.

As for spacers size.. I would say that the most you could go without the tire protruding out from the fender at the top is probably 25mm front, 30mm rear. They aren't difficult to install, but ensure you have a torque wrench so everything is torqued to spec. You'll probably want to have you rear fenders rolled to avoid rubbing, but with your drop, i'd try and measure up everything before install as you might be rubbing even with rolled fenders. I'm running 350z H-techs with the rear spring mount mod and I'm certain I would be rubbing if my rear fenders were not rolled. Lots to take into consideration so here's a good link in which this topic is discussed in detail....

Yep, Ichiba or H&R only.

My bad should have googled it.

Anyways, looking for a front lip but I'm afraid it won't fit.

I have the 2004 sports bumper, can't figure out which I should order that will fit and not require too much for installation.

No, you have an 06 sport bumper. There are very few lips for it.
