DIY How to Plasti Dip your Front Bottom Grill

It looks good, but something about it just doesn't seem right.. I can't get over how it kind of goes against the body lines of the bumper.. I'm not hating at all though... I wish the si sedans had the more aggressive looking front end like the coupes..

I actually thought about doing this the day I bought my Civic lol But I just got around to actually doing it this weekend....I put some card-stock paper behind the grill to avoid getting over spray on my AC condenser. It's my first time using plasti-dip and I think it came out good, if I do say so myself.

I like the look of it. What lip is that under the bumper?

Thanks! it's subtle, but still adds to it....I love subtle mods.

It's an EZ-Lip, which is an inexpensive mod/lip that's actually very durable and it looks pretty cool too.
 
Ah. It looked like a S204 lip from that angle.

Thanks bro! Yeah, it did help. I had a little problem with the fine edge on the right (passenger) side, it lifted a little when I peeled the tape, but I just waited a couple of minutes for it to get tacky then pushed it down with my finger, I re-taped it along the line and resprayed a couple more coats, came out great! I read that you can put on as many coats as you want before peeling the tape, you just gotta peel the tape while your final coat is still wet.
