> [@burnt\_toast](#): > > looks cool but what’s up with the tow hook? Justin kept it there because the plastic piece to cover the hole went missing, i painted it neon pink BECAUSE RACECAR … i actually used it last night to pull a ford focus out of a ditch. The car had its front wheels in the ditch, bumper smashed. ass end was sticking up in the air, rear wheels off the ground. The frame was teetering on the street, i had to drag it out. BMW powah. My girlfriend was with me, and my buddy scott saw me on his way home. He told me i wasn’t gonna get it out… I did. ---

Thinking of trying it… I’ve heard its extremely durable… And if it does chip, you can just re-apply the plasti dip… its self leveling I actually USE the awd on this car, i did a few donuts at hamburg beach last night and i didn’t scratch any of it up. ---

I always prefer shadowline on bimmers and audis. I’ve always used self etching primer and sem trim paint, but my next round I figured I’d try plasti-dip. Trim paint always chips. Curious to see how it holds up. ---
