plasti dip rear of car peice?

[03CrysBlueB6]

alright very confusing thread... so this is the headsup..

there is a little strip of crome (same material as the grills everyone has plasti dipped) it is right below the trunk.. and goes along maybe like two feet. has anyone ever plast ciped this?? and how does it look??

[zims666]

HELL yes!
and it has made a world of difference!
i used a plastic putty knife to pry the strip up and out.
it is held in by clips. took me 2 seconds.
get on it!

[03CrysBlueB6]

any pictures??

[zims666]

any pictures??

not of mine, just picture an all black car with no stupid chrome.
heres a pic of where i got the idea from:

i was thinking about doing this but i kind of like the chrome. i'd like to see a pic of it painted black on a black a4 tho. would it look weird if i painted just the strip black but kept the rings chrome?

I'm debating the same thing myself and thus haven't plastied mine yet either.

its not weird at all, thats what i did... sorry no pics at the moment

[03CrysBlueB6]

i jsut took some electrical tape and did a rough ooutline on that peice to see what it would look like.. turned out pretty good

[notob6]

i did it. makes a huge difference.

[03CrysBlueB6]

i am doing this as we speak.. might as well do the grills also.. have updates pretty soon!

[a4darkness]

I like that on the white. Looks cool.

[michgo]

ill be doing this to my s4 moulded rear soon. love it, great little contrast addition.

[doublezero30]

ive wanted to do this for a bit now, but dont know how to remove the trim piece. anyone know how?

[actlsub9]

By the time you buy the paint, the primer, the sandpaper and the time it takes, you could just buy the OEM black bumper strip for about $45.

i didnt know there was one. and i already have the paint, primer, and sand paper.

[03CrysBlueB6]

the trimm peice in the back is super easy to take off... open your trunk and start at one corner...then slowly pull up and out.. as for the grills i started reading off of a4mods... getting the grill out of the trim ring is pretty difficult but a screwdriver hel[ps

got a part number? didnt know the dealer had black bumper strips because afaik all B6 A4s have chrome..

It is a European part, I'll see if I can find the part number. I know it's been posted before.

I think this may be my next cheap mod. I saw a picture of a S4 Avant with the euro option, and it looked amazing.

but that's not in the "modding spirit" lol

[03CrysBlueB6]

finished and put together... it all looks really nice.. i really like the rear part belo the trunk.. it really adds alot.. because with the chrome ish color its pretty hard to see this adds a whole new line pretty much

[pondside36]

I'm in the same boat... did the grills and may do that trunk piece as well... hmmm

[zims666]

just like the front grills, if you pay more than $5 bucks to do this you're outta your damn mind

[mdzaudi]

By the time you buy the paint, the primer, the sandpaper and the time it takes, you could just buy the OEM black bumper strip for about $45.

Or you could just spend $5 on enough plastidip to do both of your front grilles as well as the rear trim piece and you don't need sandpaper or primer. I'm no mathematician but that comes out to be 9 times cheaper.

Looks good, really really clean. Sadly, the Canadian equivalent is about $15... that's how much PlastiDip costs around here.

[QuattroRocket]

Or you could do this ...



However it cost more than $5.00

takes away from the car's class IMO.

you mean like this

[orangelmo]

I like the aluminum strip... I actually hacked up my Deval rear just to accomodate it. Ties nicely with my OEM S4 matte mirror caps

If I wanted class, I would've gone with a Mercedes-Benz or BMW!

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^why Audi has no class? ur crazy if u think so.

[nytildie914]

Haha yeah doesnt Audi fall in the same exact class as BMW and Mercedes. Those are the 3 luxury German cars.

[AudiA4Turbo22]

^^exactly unless ur in germany of course.
