I think Rich350GT is talking about the 98-00 taillights since he has the older grille.


Turned out nicer than I had anticipated. Nice work, Rich! Have you thought about spraying the small "cutout" portion of the rear bumper?

Thats EXACTLY what I wanted to do! But I am afraid the exhaust will burn the coat off. What do you think? Will I have problems with peeling? Because if it works, then Ill it it RIGHT now. haha

Are you running stock exhaust? I don't think it could pose a real problem, but let's get the insight of a few others before you go spray it.


Gorgeous MK4 BTW.

Thanks!

I know I need others input, I am puting "fake" greddy OLD SCHOOL Sp1 tips on my car. Just the tips. Like I said, I am not going all out and I am on a budget. Its going to be angled up a little as well. So I just want to know how hot the PLASTIDIP can handle.
