Before (I have no clue where the runs came from, but I haven't been able to fix them until now):


After:

Looks really nice. Where'd you get your PlastiDip? I'd like it a lot more if the GTO letters were the same color as your goat. I'm not a fan of that insert in the first place, though. But that's just me. Looks like you did a great job on it.

Thanks man, Home Depot sells it. It took maybe 4 hours to mask everything and spray with 6 coats. I waited 20-30 mins between each coat and I used a whopping 1 whole spray can to do the entire bumper.


I had the orange letters from Maryland Speed in there before, but they just didn't quite match. Eventually I want to get a Carbon Fiber Maverick Man diffuser, but this plastidip should last for 3 years or more in the meantime. As far as the exterior is concerned I'm waiting on my Maverick Man Carbon Fiber SAP grilles (3 months so far) and when they come in I will order a front SAP bumper.

Oh, god, that SAP will look so sexy on your car. Possibly the best looking goat around, IMO. Even with that insert.

I had a BOM I bought new and painted the insert as well as the grilles and hood scoops semi-gloss black, which is a better way to go IMO.

It's only temporary until the Mav CF stuff comes in, which is an even better way to go lol.

Whatever it was was stained on there. In that pic I cleaned it with alcohol and applied Meguiars Ultimate Protectant.
