    well at least the stripe will be different. Although I like the ACR stripe idea. And we do live far enough away;)

    I think were safe with not seeing each other. Unless I have a major move coming up!

    I've plastidiped my spoiler, wheels and ram head on top of grill. It's been holding up pretty well. Ran it thru car washes many of times and no peels if you do it right. Home depot sells the cans for about 5 bucks. I highly recommend it.

    I have 06 VW Jetta where a bunch of the clear is chipping off. Do I need to strip the rest before plastidip? Or is a good cleaning sufficient? I need to try something because those rims are trashed. There is some loose clear that I will scrape first. And from what I am reading, you just do it in place? I figured you would remove them.

    I think it depends on the color. When i used lime green every spec of dirt or blemish showed through. I guess if your using black and you do enough coats it will cover anything and look smooth. Make sure you follow the directions and "dust" on the first couple of coats. Don't go too think too quick.

    The clear coat on my spoiler was peeling off. I just wet sanded the rough spots and cleaned it very good and then sprayed it with plasti dip.

    we'll see about that! I've pretty much dumped all my money into this thing buying tires, brakes, rotors, oil cooler and power steering lines and everything else the previous owner neglected!
