Where did you get that from? Looks like the perfect stuff to cover up ugly ass "wood" trim pieces in older cars that are otherwise nice looking. I'm thinking about you, Lexus ES300.

I think it looks really good. Probably looked really good in white too though.

The TL Type S is just such a nice looking car...

Maybe it will look better with different pics. To me it looks alright with the darker gunmetal rims.

But thats the beauty of plastidip haha just rip it off.

How to Repair your Plastic Bumper - Car Craft Magazine

Could try that, use some primer and repaint it with some color matched spray cans

If you can get a new OEM bumper painted for $400 thats cheap.
It will cost more to repair it unless you DIY.

removed dip, spent the entire afternoon still have bits and pieces everywhere looking like shit

so many regrets doing plasti dipping the car
waste of time and money
dip jammed into small-ass cracks is such a bitch and only half the panels had thick enough dip that it was really easy to take off
i give up for today, will go back another day to clean it all up

Dip can easily be power washed off. Removed all the dip from my wheels in less than a half hour whereas peeling it took like 2 hours just for half a wheel when it peeled off in tiny pieces

I hate Plasti dip. I prefer wrap. Extra money but I prefer to spend extra money on something than extra time.

I can waste money because money can be replenished. Time cannot.

IMO
