Ehhh, I think it's not as much dressing up as it is that they're requiring us to dress up a certain way. I have a bad habit of bucking the system

Haha, now I want fried chicken, Dave.

Every guy should have at least one suit. Never know when you'll have to attend a wedding...or worse...a funeral. Only proper thing to do is wear a suit to either.

Devin- at least this weak she is wearing some kind of swim cap thing. LAst week she had on a big wig that eclipsed the board.

And yep, I'm for individuality too. That's why I dress well. The only other guy in this class that isn't wearing pajamas, workout gear, or smelly rock clothes is about 60.

Question for the group.
What would YOU do:
1) Remove the factory chrome grille, paint with Duplicolor "Shadow" for a black chrome affect, and reinstall?
OR
2) For about $80 shipped, purchase an OEM matte black plastic grille off Ebay. Proceed to clear coat it once shipped. And install onto the truck?

Not sure which method I want to explore, and looking for other's insight. I want to keep an OEM look, so aftermarket mesh grilles, etc are out of question.
I say plastidip it. That way you can "test it out" and leave it if you like it or peel it away if you don't.

PlastiDip Car Emblems, Badges and Front Grille - Step by Step - DipYourCar.com - YouTube

I think I'm going to do this on my front grille to see how it would look. Plastidip is on it's way.

When I graduated they had a dress code and it bothered me too, but then again, I wanted to graduate more than I wanted to complain about the dress code.

Hey Bobbie.
I considered Plasti-dip but from what I remember it isn't glossy. I want a clearcoat like finish when done.

I think you're right Chandler.

We used to loose p-dip to black out the chrome trim on BMW's. Gave it that rubber body molding look, not a painted black look.

You can actually get a clear coat application that you would apply after the plastidip layer to make it look shiny.

It looks like she was looking for help in the car and didn't know what to do, she panicked.
