Re: Plasti Dipped the grille
Has the extra thickness of the fins from the dip affected your cooling in the summer heat?

The matte black sets off nice from the white.

Re: Plasti Dipped the grille
Hello, I am was also wondering about the cooling issue with the fins. Please let me know. I am enjoy to be a member of this site with so much knowledge.
Just kidding. Looks awesome, man! About a billion times better than stock, at least on a white car.

Ehhh.... Never been into the blacked out look. Only on select few vehicles, then I still need shiny things to break up the black.themadscientist wrote:I would like to see a black one dechromed and blacked out GN style.
The overall execution of that car is excellent, but I just don't like the "murdered out" look.

Re: Plasti Dipped the grille
The smoked lights are overkill and some color inside the wheels like some red or gold calipers would provide the needed accent.

yeah. Temps went up by about 350 degrees. Melted the radiator. Dont recommend this mod at all.

Let me know how things work with rock chips and such as I was planning on painting mine this summer.
Yours does look good and will go well with the black+Ironman LED combo
