May not look as good on all colors

First time to post a picture so hope this works
Kevin G- Looks awesome!

What is Plasti-Dip spray? Where did you get it and what color did you use? Thanks!

SS = Second Skin; It's a sound deadener and reduces the rattling that you would get from the panels when you have a strong sound system. Coupled with the Luxury Liner, it's supposed to virtually soundproof the vehicle.

Looks interesting. How would you apply it in the Outback? Behind factory door speakers and door panels? Do you think it would improve the sound quality of the factory HK System?

Rock chips? Maybe it wasn't you with the chips on the hood. Maybe it was Green.

Plasti-Dip originally for coating tool handles
Now available in spray at Home Depot ~$7/can

See instructions for Grill removal (& horn replacement):

Is there any reason that I wouldn't want to use Plasti-dip on the fog light surrounds/front bumper underguard? I'm already thinking that doing the front and rear emblems as the same time as the grill wouldn't be a bad idea.

I would think that would be a great application for Plasti-dip. If it gets to bunged up you could peel it off and re-do it. I'm thinking it would work well on the lower door trim also.

I used the plasti-dip for the pealing roof rails on my 2000, Good stuff.
And the custom roof rack made from conduit.
