Yup, Im pretty sure its owned by FSU Alumn, dude.. come out if you're here.. I put down 20 wings for like $15, they were pretty good, and they had drink specials. The place is called Union Pub.

This is the best I've seen clemson look, dude its got the feel of a BCS championship game.. I knew a FSU football player and I asked him what was the loudest stadium he had ever been in, he said hands down, Clemson.. He said it was like being in a fish tank with loud azz music turned all the way up..:rofl2:

Plasti-Dip mod this weekend:
Fuel and temp gauge in 2010 was silver (bad move Nissan), so I decided to remove it and try plasti-dip spray. A few light coats and here it is. The gauge only picture is with the lights on in early morning. The light fro the gauge information does shine through the plasti-dip. The whole pod is with the lights on. I think it looks much better than silver. I put it on to thick the first time, peeled it off and applied a lighter coat. I like it better than the silver look.

eastwest2300 09-05-2013 07:49 AM

I like it dude..

Looks good. I can't remember who it was, maybe simota1, had made a bunch of stickers that he was selling for cheap that you would stick on the guage to change it from the silver. But plasti dip works too!

So did you spray over the lights and they're just shinning through or did you actually block them out and then sprayed?

eastwest2300 09-05-2013 08:58 AM

It looks like he taped it off, I just tried plastidip'n my Z blinkers, everything was perfect until I removed the tape... epic FAIL...:facepalm:

And there would be no college football without high school football. Doesn't mean I'm going to watch either one. I have watched a bit of college football, but it doesn't get me as excited as the NFL.

With plasti dip, you have to take the tape off while it's still wet to get a clean edge. If you wait till it dries then you will most likely take some of the plasti dip off with the tape.

eastwest2300 09-05-2013 09:33 AM

Thats exactly what happened.. I let it dry then tried to remove it, I've come to realize plasti dip is a temporary fix, the first time you wash your car, you're liable to remove some of it, if not all of it.. I'd imagine.

b1adesofcha0s 09-05-2013 09:47 AM

Not necessarily. It depends on how you handle it. They do make a cloth to wash plasti dip with, so you could use that instead of a towel. I never had problems washing my wheels when they were plasti dipped

That's because Maryland is your Alma Mater :stirthepot:

b1adesofcha0s 09-05-2013 10:01 AM

Haven't ever watched a Maryland game.

4r3s 09-05-2013 10:04 AM

Which further proves the point...

b1adesofcha0s 09-05-2013 10:16 AM

That I'm not interested in college sports....

So did you spray over the lights and they're just shinning through or did you actually block them out and then sprayed?

The rows of indicator lights stay in the dash. I taped the plastic window in the middle that cannot be removed. I sprayed over the fuel indicator and temperature indicators and the orange light shines through at night and you can see the outline of the indicators during the day. Using light coats of Palasti-Dip works better for coverage of the silver with translucence of the indicators.

I also Plasti-Dipped my tail light (I only did one) but felt as if it would make it too hard for others to see my brakes and turn indicators. Once I realized that, I decided that having others know what I was doing was more important than the look that it gave me. I did like the blacked out look of the lens, but want the lights to be more visible to the people following me. I peeled the Plasti-Dip off the tail light.

I also completed my door handles, and that is still there, but I do not like the look/feel of the texture on the handles. However, It does show me that I want to have them painted, as they look much better on my Black Cherry color when they are darker and not silver.

1. So the silver piece you plasti dipped is actually removable? Easily?

2. I feel the same way which is why I haven't done mine.

3. Yes, definitely get them painted. I think plasti dip is good for giving you the idea of what a certain color looks like without having to actually commit to it. I personally don't like how poor plasti dip looks with a little wear and dirt. Good for temporary solution, bad for long term.

Yeah, Im in the same boat as you, I'm gonna get my door handles painted.. you should check out my tail lights, they're not "blacked" out or tinted, but they were custom painted a REALLY nice blood colored red.. I think you'd like it.

:iagree::iagree::iagree:

Dude, I was JUST saying this yesterday on another thread... you're exactly spot on.

m4a1mustang 09-05-2013 12:49 PM

Trouble is any tint/paint/etc on the tail lights in VA is illegal.

eastwest2300 09-05-2013 12:51 PM

That is true..

The piece was easy for me to remove. I just grabbed it by the top and bottom with my three fingers, squeezed a little and pulled (no comments from the MAZOC gallery!) and it popped off in my hand. You just need to make sure the led plastic cover pieces stay in the dash.

I'll probably find a good paint/powder coater shop to take care of the handles.

That sucks, but at least I can buy high cap mags for my AR, carry my 1911, Glock or just about anything I want in this state, so if I can't paint my tail lights, I guess I'm ok with that. :tup:
