hey guys, I'm new here and a new owner of a GG '09 GTS

I'll post up pics of mine when I get them uploaded, but like amper said, I'm really liking what I see in this thread and the possibilities for my own. Makes me glad I got the GG.

First order of business, black-out the front bumper/grille. Just need to find the best technique/product(s)

wet app matte black vinyl is your best bet, plastidip would come in second, paint would come distant third ^^

Here's the only two pics I've got so far (it's been snowing here so no real good opportunity for pics just yet)

plan to black out grille and front bumper this weekend. Just a little nervous about making sure I get the masking down properly for the bumper.

masking + plastidip is a cheap and durable solution.. it's about $8 for tape/spray. only thing you should watch out for is peeling off the masking tape before the rubber dries or it'll peel bits of the fresh layer off.

Finished painting the silver trim today.


Installed LP lights. They're actually whitish/purple. White balance was off and they came out blue in the picture...
