Added a chin spoiler and got rid of those fugly turn signals. I used plastidip for the chin spoiler so I can rip it off later and get it painted, it's mostly experimental for now to see what I like best.


Before:




After:












Thanks for looking, and yeah the painting process was a huge *** pain and my fingers nearly fell off after I did like 4 coats of plastidip.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input! I really have been debating a hood scoop, but I might instead do side scoops, not sure why lol but they just appeal to me for some reason.

That, and I need new rims like cake needs icing.

Looking good! Is the plasti-dip a matte black or does it have some shine to it?
I used (High gloss) automotive black spray paint on my front chin spoiler. I tried the semi-gloss paint and it was too dull and did not match the side rockers.

The stuff has a almost "soft" sheen to it, and because I put on like 4-6 coats it seemed to develop that shine more and more, after around the third coat. matches the rockers fairly well, but I feel it is about a shade darker than them.

Yours looks amazing! Looks right at home on a black car. I was recently thinking of doing a "CS" look so that's why I went with the temporary plastidip, kind of like this pic below;

Full body shot?

I like it, Aaquib. Much more aggressive and the dark turn signals look really nice.
What rims are you thinking of going with?
