I bought a grille from a dealership that was a take off, just in case I didn't like it or when it comes time to trade it in. Very happy with it!

Plasti dip or bed liner? Looks great!

I plastidipped my wheels and grill and they looked awesome, however, after spending the weekend driving on gravel, they are now gray as opposed to black. The gravel dust sticks in them and wont come off, tried several wheel and tire cleaners, no go.

Looks like paint might be the better option for those driving on gravel/dust/dirt

Bedliner is stronger and would hold up better. The plasti dip is great tho since you can peel it off if you ever change your mind and touch ups are easy... so I hear! Im going to plasti dip mine soon and see what I think. If I dont like it, I'll just pull it off, simple as that!

Bedlined. Used dupli-color. Ends up having the exact color and texture as all the black plastic trim.

Had ours bedlined with a fine spray pattern to match the fenders. Looks great and should hold up well to the "chip seal" roads of South Texas.

Going to try and do my bumper this weekend. I'm pretty confident I can do this mod, I mean I did cut a hole in my hood. Just a little nervous about sanding my grill but I know it's all for a good cause haha
