Well I realize there are threads especially for plasti dip, but I decided to make my own for this specific application. I was out in the yard fooling around and decided to do away with my exceptionally large bug deflector and try to make a "plasti dip bug shield" of sorts by plasti dipping my header panel and peeling the dip off of the Jeep logo letters. I sort of have mixed emotions about whether I like it. Any opinions? Better? Worse? Ehh..?

 

I think it looks good. Plasti-Dip is some pretty crazy stuff. The good thing about it is if you dont like it you can just rip it right off. The stuff is pretty durable and I feel its a much cheaper alternative to a bug deflector. You can always redip as well as the rattle can plasti dip is pretty cheap imo.

 

Your bug deflector looks much bigger than mine. Was it the factory one? I've had mine so long i forgot it was even there till now. Lol

 

No mine wasn't factory but it was on the jeep when I bought it. I was planning on leaving it, but I had a bunch of friends and the ol lady telling me how bad it looked, so I gave this a shot.

I actually like that one on yours, much more normal looking!

 

I never notice its there unless someone mentions it or i go to open the hood. Lol. I'm pretty sure mine is made by AVS, I got it to cover up some bad paint spots on the header panel.

 

Yep, my header panel looks like hell so I knew I had to have something if I didn't leave the bug deflector on there.
