Just Finished Mods

Hey guys I'v just finished changing my grille and did some black outs but was just using electrical tape for the rings on the bottom bumper and chrome piece in the middle as well as the headlights. Was thinking either plasti-dip or CF wrap. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

I think it looks really nice. You might be able to take the small parts off the bottom bumper and send them to Lyle at vinylstyles and have him wrap them or get vinyl and wrap them yourself.

I love the look of the MC without the hood scoop. I would say get the silver bulbs for those yellow lights. It's like 30 bucks and a big improvement overall.

That grill is nice. You could plastidip the surrounding part of the grill so it's not gloss. Then you could plastidip the other parts you like. But many would say plastidip is cheap or ricey. It's durable and not permanent so it does have advantages too.

Looks great

Looks great! I'd go with CF if you're up for it, I did the Plasti Dip thing but it looked like crap after six months exposed to the elements. I'm trying to decide between the JCW and the Aero grilles, really like the look of the JCW on yours
