Poll: 2013/2014 Front Bumper Lip on PW... Leave it stock or black it out?
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hey guys!

I have a PW 2013 with the new front bumper - no fangs, vertical DRLs.

Any recommendations on leaving the bottom lip alone or blacking it out? Either matte black Plasti Dip or matte black vinyl wrap?

I already have a matte black wrapped rear lower diffuser area and a gloss black wrapped roof.

Thanks! :tiphat:

If you like the black, try plastidip to really test it out, then vinyl it if needed

I painted my lip last week. Took it to my friend's shop and he painted it trim black. It matches the black on the side mirrors. Painting the lip looks better in person than in pictures.

if you're talking about the air deflector below the front bumper, i would leave it black.

Hi Ken,

I mean the lower part of the bumper that's body colored, just below the intake slats.

I've never seen this before, I might go plastidip mine today and see how it turns out.

Masterbeatty 08-02-2014 05:38 PM

Since you don't have the fangs I would just wrap it.

I prefer the cleaner look.

I like the plasti dip look but I would just get a carbon fiber lip or something. Before I was into Z's i would notice people black out the front of their scions or in this case the Z and thought people were copying to evo x front grill look (not sure if mitsu was the company to come up with that blacked out style)

I like plasti-dip. The brighter the color, the better. It sings.

Definitely black it out! I plasti-dipped my first front bumper and loved the look. I am going to look into having vinyl applied to the replacement bumper.

Masterbeatty 08-02-2014 09:25 PM

I did my fangs in plastidip but if vinyl would work well with the curves I would of done that over dip any day. however the color shift plastidip looks great.

Well I almost plasti dipped mine last night. I got it all masked up and then just before applying the paint I decided against it. I knew I would not be happy with plastidip. I told myself I would await on a vendor to make a plastic cover for that part. Hopefully soon?
