So, I decided to plastidip my grill
How do you guys think it came out?
http://postimage.org/image/ug7aksqch/ Up close: http://postimage.org/image/3wnfqrnn9/ Looks pretty good to me. It is surprisingly consistent and smooth. I kinda like it. Sub-question: I'm taking the car to the dealer tomorrow (oil change) and put it back into stock mode from apr stage 1. It's been feeling a bit slow lately. 12-14 psi stock and 18-20 psi apr stage 1 sound all good? Maybe it's the weather, but probably just my head.

Both pics look pretty crappy. Have a better camera you can use? I'm sure it looks fine though.

yeah difficult to tell with the pics, but it seemed to come out pretty nice looking.

If its Apr then just switch it to stock on your own...maybe you have a boost leak causing it to lose power

Woops. I worded that wrong. I put it into stock mode and read those values from my boost gauge.

Looks solid, but it won't last long unfortunately.
