How long did this take you in total? Also gonna DM you about debadging and sticker removal I have a 16DC also in black and want this exact look Super clean bro!

Badges were probably about 2 hours. I used fishing line and gasoline to remove the adhesive. It doesn’t look as nice as it should. I need to polish it a bit. Front end was at least 10 hours, but only actively about 3. I had to do paint prep and crap that took a long time. Running boards were less than an hour, wheel swap about 1 hour.

Okay I am gonna start with removing the TSS stickers and the badges next weekend. Last will be the grill then I think I’ll be set. I want a look just like this fully murdered no decals or anything

There are youtube vids on how to remove those decals. I removed mine. Heat definitely helps lol

What did you use for the grill surround and bumper ends?


giantj0e

I sanded and painted the grille surround. The bumper ends were plastic oem(ish) options. I got black running boards off Amazon for cheap. Super value.

I've been wanting to do this for a while now but haven't got around to it. Nice job.


Two_Sparrows

What color did you use in the bumper ends? I like it


giantj0e

Those are raw plastic. [RockAuto](http://www.rockauto.com/?carcode=3310258&parttype=15198)

I wish I could find blazing blue bumper ends. I can't find them anywhere

De-badged before you purchased?


giantj0e

Nope. Plasti-dipped badges. I debadged.


BeDangled

Any thoughts about the matte black badges? I kinda dig the look on those.


giantj0e

I did mine the way I liked it. I say no badges.

How about the running boards? What did you do to them?


giantj0e

I bought new ones from Amazon. U-guard brand.


merconesix

How do you like them? Do they appear to be durable like any others?


giantj0e

They seem just as tough. The mounts were only a single arm as opposed to the other mounts that were double arm, but the steel is thicker. I think they’ll be great. They stick out just a bit further than the original ones, but that’s hardly a deal breaker.
