^^^ both those cars... :fap:

what is plastidip? im gonna look it up did it hold up well?

i was going to get matte vinyl to cover the chrome mustache piece because that would match the rest of it...

i wonder if matte would look better than gloss? any input

and as far as the emblems i think ill just remove them unless they have holes

I actually had my mustache pieces painted dark slate at the same time that i had my stillen sideskirts/front lip painted, but the overlays actually match the color of the car really well, assuming you can put them on with minimal ripping or bubbles. and using plastidip to blackout the nissan burger as well as the emblems on the back of the car definitely add a subtle touch on a dark slate coupe ;)

there are no holes on the emblems on the back, so you can debadge those with no problem; however on the front there will be holes since the grille is specifically designed to have the nissan burger on it.

plastidip is a spray on rubber originally designed to add grip to tools so workers wouldnt drop them or they wouldn't slip, but it doubles nicely as a quick easy way to black out your emblems. and mine have held up pretty well, i'm coming up to 3/4 a year (i think) with them and i have no problems with them peeling.

also, a matte mustache overlay wouldn't really match, especially if you have the slate; kinda needs that little bit of shine to make it look like paint. look into bluebatmobile's overlays for the vinyls, i'm surprised he hasn't chimed in yet.

as another suggestion, perhaps look into HID's?

the lights are actually really bright white they dont look yellow like in that picture it was late and lighting was off. when i put the overlays on though we will see how good it still is and then ill probably get a raptor kit from DDM :D

i looked into bluebatmobile's stuff but i was originally going to go with something from RVinyl and depending on how his pricing is and quality of product i may just do that since alot of members on here seem to be gettin the overlays from him

That's the stuff. It works really well and holds up for a long while.

I took it to a shop to get it painted, but you could use Dupli-Color :: Perfect Match they have precision gray! and a good dose of clear it might work for you.

Hey I saw all this talk about needing vinyl for your chrome mustache for the front grill. Let me know if you need any I have a ton of small pieces for matte black. Email me if you have any questions since I'm not always on here. [email protected]
