It would be a good idea to plasti-dip it if you're unsure on if you will like it or not because you can just peel it off if you dont like it.

Definitely plasti-dip it. You can always go back if you don't want it or want to do some thing different down the line

so i tried to do it. i realized that opening is upside down for the LS model so i painted the center grille like the evo and also plainted the spot where the fogs would be. the paint didn't stick where the fogs would be so i think i am just going to paint the whole center grille black.

^^^ Your Batman gif almost killed me from laughter! Lol

It's good to know the Plastidip will last quite a while. I mentioned this in another thread but I'll say it here, too. I'm going to just paint my rims with Plastidip. I think that's be better than powdercoating them because I won't have to pay $400+ nor will I have to send the wheels to a powdercoating place for a few days.
