Default plastidip front bumper edge

Had a beautiful day here in my neck of the woods, so I decided to do this. Haven't seen many pics of it, but I like the look. Thinking about doing the openings in the front bumper up to the crease, including the vertical separator between the DRL's and the fog light holes, whaddaya think? Nice thing about plastidip is it can come off if it has to

Looks good.. that's a cool idea, I've never thought about doing the front.

My concern is bugs... when you have to work to clean them off how long it will take to wear off the dip.

Nice work though.

Thank you I think it adds a little more exotic looking edge to the front end. I would imagine it will do alright, I have my rear valance done with thd same stuff, and have pressure washed it in the past with no peeling. I have found that you have to catch an edge and work it over until it ***** up, then it will peel, but good point, I'll keep an eye on it...the stuff is soft when dry
