Got bored Plasti dipped the center console without taking it off took about less than a hour


Painters tape,heat gun to soften the bumper so its easier to cut and a box cutter and she's all smiles

You, sir, are insane but it came out awesome. I don't know that I would ever drill a hole through a bumper, much less cut out a piece

center console looks nice but i'm not a fan of gt3 grills on stock bumpers. your grill is also too low on the bumper. here's an OEM gt3 front bumper for comparisons.

Well, since you're not a fan of GT3 grills on stock bumpers, then maybe that's where it should go on a stock bumper. Us great unwashed think it looks just fine.

Kerlow,
I assume that the Plasti-dip comes from a spray can and involved mega interior masking??

Do you have a manual trans? If so are you going to take the plastic cover off and allow the air flow through the duct? I'm assuming that's the reason to do that?

Looks good though

there is no functional for the center vent right? on the gt3, it's for the center radiator i believe.

i am not a big fan of dipping. looks great in pictures but always look ghetto in person. i also like the silver trim more. breaks up the all black interior. sorry, just my opinion. like you said, it's easy to peel off and experiment.

Wow, that was a ballsy move, but the payoff is obvious - it looks great! You sir are no amateur.
