Thanks man!!

I've had plans to remove the plastic front bumper like yours for a while now, just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. Maybe I'll do that next week while I'm still out off of work, and I don't plan on trimming the fenders until i get bigger tires, I'm just not a big fan of trimmed fenders with stock size tires.

I experimented with my grill recently... My suggestion is to use the plasti dip as a test to see if you like the look and feel, if you do, have the parts line-x'ed or similar.

Plasti dip will never hold up like Bedliner

Does anyone know if you can rattle can over plasti dip and still remove t? I ask 'cause I'm think bout hitting my grill but I don't like the gun metal grey ( too blue of a hue), and want something different other then black. anybody thought about this and tried it already or am I going to be the scapegoat?

I would test it on something first, Tupperware container or something. It's only $8 a can or whatever vs a $100-200 grille
