So since i have carbon mirror covers to cover my gross chrome mirrors, and just plasti-dipped my front chrome badge. I decided to do my chrome fog light rings too.

Tape everything off, apply newspaper to your front bumper in case of over spray. To actually block off the fog light itself, I slid paper in side of the rings, the fogs don't sit on them so it was pretty easy and made it look great.


Becuase i was painting outside, I made a mini paint booth lol/. Used a towel with the hood closed on it so i wouldn't fly away or fall out, used a box to block another angle, and everything came out great.


Here's the comparison shot.


Before.


After.


Full Front end.


New front lip too



Just be patient with taping off, and be careful when removing.

 

looks good!!

 

way to much prep work, Just spray it on and peel away the parts you don't want it on. I did it last week. The less prep I did less tape etc, the better it came out.

 

I'm sorry i did things the way you're supposed to do them. i guess taping off areas i didn't want any paint on was so dumb -_-

 

lol you did well Sir, and thanks for sharing this

 

Good job. I just plastidip my trunk emblems. You should mask off as much as possible when applying, but not too worry, if you get some on the paint just use some automotive Goo Gone with a clean cotton rag and it wipes right off.

 

looks good, nice job. May i ask what front lip is that and how is the fitment? Thanks in advance!

I got the lip from this guy, its a knockoff ralliart in CF. Fitment isn't actually to bad, I added an extra screw to pull the ends in. for the $150 i spent its great lol

 

I think that Jabjab is right. I too was worried about the overspray, but it comes right off. I actually found that masking off makes more work. This is what is amazing with Plastidip. I did my 4 GSR wheels and the overspray came right off. I don't think he meant to offend you.

 

Hey I recently bought that same lip but it seems like a pain in the a$$ to install!!! I have to drill holes on the under side of my bumper and also the holes on the side don't quit line up!!! Did u have these same problems!? Can u post an install on that?? I've been searching and searching and can't find any help!!! Btw good job with the chrome rings I might b doing that too!!!
THANX!!!!

 

Wow looks alot better than I expected!! Questionnnn!!! Where did you get the drivers side fog light piece? Like on mine the mesh part is not like the passenger side its all blocked off. Id like it to be open like yours and also to show off my Candy Purple intercooler pipes
Thanks!!

 

the mesh comes on all MR evo x's so just order the MR mesh and take out the gsr block panel
