    That's the beauty of Plasti-Dip, it comes right off to clear the ticket, and goes right back on afterwards!! :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    I'm actually Plasti-Dipping my chrome lower door trim as we speak (one side only). On coat #4 right now. Doing it in a smoke color to see how it turns out.

    Worst Case I shoot it black in the morning if I don't like it. Worst Worst Case I shoot it a grey metallic afterwards if I don't like that, and Worst Worst Worst Case I peel it all off and leave it chrome if I don't like the grey.

    Plasti-Dip, we salute you. (y)

    I've been running black plasti tails since July. The law here just says your lights need to be visible from 75 feet at night. Haven't had any trouble. I did 3 or 4 coats of black then a few coats of glossafier

    Looks awesome!

    How about the rear wiper delete, a shark fin, and a roof spoiler?

    Installed reversing camera with the monitor on the back window...





    Why???.... For my last car I installed with a rear view mirror monitor. Just didn't make sense to me. I'd look over my shoulder to see what was coming left and right. Then I can't see the reversing monitor.
    With this set up, no mucking about running wires the length of the car or mounting monitors on the dash.
    7" monitor easily visible from over my shoulder and in rearview mirror.

    WellVisor makes pretty decent wind visors and they look better then most. Give them a look, and they cost much less then the OEM ones.

    Just got this new exhaust tip I wanted to try but mother nature isn't having any of it today.
    I'm afraid to even go see my car.

    What's the screen in the exhaust tip for? So rodents don't crawl up the tail pipe, or someone doesn't shove a banana up the tail pipe (Beverly Hills Cop reference)? :D

    Mother nature strikes again taking 2 of my decals.
    Good thing I had extras made.

    Trying to get my girlfriends dodge magnum out of her spot was nearly impossible.
    Prii handled it like it was any other day.
    I don't get people hating on it for winter handling. It does work.

    I honestly have no idea. I didn't notice it on the listing. It's just tack welded in so I might remove it.

    Yeah, gotta be sure there's no restriction to exhaust flow. Don't want to lose out on any horsepower gains. ;) :D

    SCH-I535 ?

    I bought the same exhaust tip, (E-Bay). I tried getting it to fit, but could not and I did not have enough time to work it. Hope you have better luck than I did. I will try it again in the future.

    Snagged mine off amazon. Catalog number says it's for Prius / Prius C.
    Won't be able to try until well after my return window...
    So that's cool.

    Blocked the squirrel finder cutouts in my stock projectors using aluminum flashing material and JB Weld.

    Preparing for HID installation coming soon. Bulbs, ballasts, dual relay harness, and ballast to bulb extension wires are on the way.

    This pic is with 65w H9 halogen bulbs that are currently installed:
