Not for me, but if it works for you, that's all that matters. I just think it makes it look like the car was wrecked and then fixed with an unpainted replacement bumper cover.

What about the hood? headlight lens? fog light lens?

Really does make it look like it is primer and ready to paint. Long as you are happy with it and protects what you want it to do.

That will surely provide some paint protection, but it reminds me of my 2013 Subaru Outback that has copious amounts of flat black vinyl cladding on the front and sides. I love it on my Outback as it is very functional; I think I would like it less so on my vette.

If paint protection is your objective, then you did a great job!

Really cheapens the look of the car IMO. As long as you like it who cares!

Not sure how much time is involved but I could surely see that prior to a long trip.

The ducts are for air intake.

Doesn't Plastidip make a clear, glossy, spray? Wouldn't that do the job just the same?

Yes.

And..sorry.. just looks out of place with the flat black. But for a temporary bra..guess it works.

Okay for a long roadtrip but not for an everyday look.

Did my center exhaust rear diffuser and it took hours with a drill and eraser bit to remove

Looks great...easy way to protect front end.
Plasti dip is easy to use, I've done rims with it..taking your time in between light light coats is the key. Also heat the can up in hot water. It will spay smooth

You can fix the plasti-dip now. With a little practice it will look as if nothing ever happened.
