I'm interested in how to spray all the chrome stuff on my R18. What exactly did you use? Cause I don't want anything that's going to peal when I wash or drive the car.

Plastidip is what basically everyone uses. You can peel it off with a bit of effort and it won't damage the paint.

Props to Nix for recommending the k&n drop in filter as well. A small change. But it's a start! Next up is the rear sway bar.

But will it come off if I wash the car. Cause I tend to clean the car every 5 days.

Just wash lightly over plasti-dipped areas. If you applied the Plasti dip heavily you won't have a problem, I applied mine too lightly and it started to peal when I washed the lower grille pretty aggressively to get bugs off

Just use a soft sponge. Works really well and doesn't peel the dip

As they said, put enough layers on. There are people who have had plasti on their wheels for years without issues.

Plasti dip is so versatile!
I dipped my handles and my gas cover and I even tried tinting my tail lights with it. Just used plasti dip gloss to make it a little shiny too.

Update on the dealership. I just dropped her off to get the axle replaced. Took a whole 15 minutes to check me in because it seems that the service advisor who helped me before erased my appointment. After I got into contact with his manager. I told the manager that I don't want to deal with that service advisor anymore. They didn't mention anything about me having to pay that bullshit 200 dollar deductible. So that's a relief. Definitely definitely going to go to a different dealership after all this bullshit has cleared.

Nobody on the phone is giving me a straight answer. And I dropped the car off at 7am this morning. I've ******* had it.

Well depending on the location, that's a dealership for ya..not to sound like an *** though lol. Either way you can have a clean conscious that the job will be done right and if it isn't you can keep bringing it back till it is right
