    Props for trying something different though. Best thing about that plastidip though, it peels right off!

    :) I was going to try plastidipping stripes. Or stars. Maybe not so much anymore.

    Made my day seeing your post :) good luck removing it.

    You can do the 4-6coats like you normally do for any plasti dip project, but your last coat has to be thicker and make sure your edges are wet where the tape is and peel the tape right away and at a angle. Another tip is to tape around where u are gonna put your edge and tape the actual edge last so your only pulling one strip of tape(quickly) I did something similar before I dipped my whole car....hope this helps

    The bulbs are built into the headlight assembly. I had to purchase the ballasts though. I got them locally from a wrecking yard.

    Noticed a couple days ago that my clear plate cover was weatherworn, so replaced it with a new and improved version, this one is much thinner and much clearer lol
