Can you peel it off if you don't like it?

Looks awesome from the pictures.

Yes, that's the beauty of plasti dip. Take a look on YouTube.

Here is my $6.00 mod. Painted my interior door sills arctic silver to match the rest of the car. They were really looking ratty.

Very easy to do, most difficult part is stripping the soft touch paint. Soaked them in water overnight and then used a scotch brite stripping pad.

They turned out very nice.

I like the look. How did you get clean lines with the plastidip? I've tried something similar before and the tape always ends up peeling up the dip.

Here's my $3 mod. Front grill mesh grill. Made from rain gutter grill purchased from Home Depot. Requires removing the front bumper cover which is pretty nerve racking when it's your 1st time doing it. Once you know how it's done, it takes less than 30mins to dit it. You'll need help to hold the bumper up while removing/installing the wire harness and headlight washer hose.

The grill is actually painted in black but it looks lighter in the pics.
