YESSSSSSSS. i have mine too, just been lazy to get it done. cant wait to see pics.. i dont think plastidip is "great" but its a damn great solution and the results are acceptable in my book. its a lot nicer driving a car not worrying about a 5-7k paint job!!![Smilie](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
ps i really want rpf1s![Frown](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)

I totally agree... I am a novice racer I wont feel as bad if I slide into the ditch or brush against the wall with a 150$ paint job vers the 5-7k paint job ha.

I say leave it in the box just for that picture. It'll give you something to think about if you ever do have a fire.
I really think you're making a mistake with that plasidip being that the original paint is there and doesn't seem bad at all. You just need to paint a bumper cover to match and it shouldn't be that expensive.
But you seem like the kind of guy who needs to learn the hard way so I think you'll do what you plan to do no matter what anyone tells you.
