Easy Weekend Mods

[NJshadow93]

I plasti dipped my grille and went mudding on Sunday. The mud washed right off the grille without a trace. Also, if you're worried about it staining, a clear coat will solve it. I had my cladding on my old truck plast dipped for months with no staining or peeling. This includes a NJ winter.

My grille is the only thing left on my truck that's still Plasti-dip and it shows. I need to get time to take it off and give it a proper coat of paint

I passed Cali smog with it no problem. They are "musts" because they just are! Start modding then you'll figure it out.

Because,Toy manufacture doesn't design them to each of are disires of the way we want them to look. And if they did, it would give them a reason to charge us out the ying, yang for them.

[MENTION=4347]Casper[/MENTION], thanks for the input about cali smoging with the removal.

im not really feelin the plasti dip on the emblems... i prefer chrome.. (the old school in me i guess) and on the whheels, i prefer the contrast of the black tire on alloy or chrome etc..but it does look good as well
