yea the top right of the passenger side is a little bit off, but it was a paint in the a$$ curving the electrical tape, so i guess its fine =\

i dint spray the inlets in the grill cuz i dint wana spray everything behind it

i know this is a cheap way of makin it look different, but i like this because i can always peel it off later if i dont like it anymore =]

Thats some great prices at Food Depot.
Im not a fan of black contrast on light cars, but it turned out good.

Id beat the living pi55 out of someone if they ever put a glass/cup of water on my hood.

Interesting look. not a big fan because of the odd gloss differences, but overall it looks decent enough. I agree that you need to spray the mesh in the openings as the 2 colors of black look odd. Not my cup of tea, but it certainly doesn't look bad. Nice work.

Damn right. I always tell people don't touch the paint! I'm afraid of swirls

ur right, the gloss difference isnt my cup of tea either.

but the plastidip alone is too matte for the paint, so i cleared it, which glossed it up a little bit. but after i wax my car, the gloss of both will match a little nicer

I worried about the same thing.


Looks like some crazy orange peel.
