Sounds like they are tacking on $40 for a half hour of labor to install... Maybe? They aren't know as the Stealership for nuttin! I bought the altitude emblem off of Amazon for $8 with free supersaver shipping. Lining it up is easy if you use a little painters tape to outline where the OG one was before removing it. I am definitely going to have to try out this plasti dp for my wheels though! What a great idea until I'm ready to spring for custom ones!

I have an all white JKU, have any of you guys tried white Plasti Dip on your bumpers? I wanted to know how near the color of the Plasti Dip is to the factory white. Also any of you have experience with it holding up on running boards? Going for the all white look but not wanting my 2013 to look like poop just yet 
Thanks,

Yes, you can get it in spray cans but you can also order qts. of it. Additionally, due to the limited numbers of colors, you can buy a "kit" where you can mix and match any color you want. I got a qt. of red and painted the front and rear differentials on my Chevy Diesel. If you use a paint brush, you want to only put on very light coats at a time ~ wait about 15-20 minutes and then add another coat until you feel you have enough painted. It can be used on many many different items, even things inside your home. Great stuff.

Anyone ever thought of using it to make decals? Ive wanted to try it but my artistic ability is more like autistic. So i cant make my own stencil
