I think Plasti Dip is cool if you want to see if certain parts will look good flat black. If you like then spend the money and have it painted.

I like the A pillar but not the bumper

nah, i got a stormy blue, with 30% tint, so it'll look kinda subtle

i like the a-pillar idea myself. will try and if it looks ok i'll remove the plasti dip and replace with gloss or satin vinyl

thanks for the comments

i've always been a fan of the windshield wrap-around illusion


funny to see kia doing it

If you go the vinyl route then do the B Pillar as well so they match

The grill idea is insanely over played and looks like a horrid reversed cleft lip.

I plasti-dipped my front air dam. See sigpic
I didn't want to paint it since I drag the car across the ground constantly and wouldn't want to ruin the black paint. When the airdam needs to be touched up I just spray more plastidip over it and it looks new haha

Yes, looks like ****. Looks like someone took about 25 seconds to mask it.

^ Yeah, I can clearly see where the individual pieces of tape were laid. Does not look rounded enough. If it was done right, the look may not be so bad

I'm not trolling you.

I didn't even know it was yours till now but no care.

Looks like ****. The masking job you have done would make a painter cry a thousand and one tears

Welcome to the internet.

Just because you posted a pic doesn't mean we all have to like it

You sound butthurt

I think the A-pillar would look odd. Our roof line is not like the examples shown.
