    And, the tutorial on filling your bumper holes after moving license plate, i didn't want the plugs.

    First I filed down the holes so they were flush with the body (sorry forgot a pic for this step) then used JB-Stick to fill the holes, i just made a small ball and forced it into the hole.

    Next step, after the putty has dried is to sand it down to become flush with the car. A word for the wise, This step takes a patient person. I redid each hole a few times to get it were i wanted it.

    And the next fun step, as many of you may have endured, the taping process. my first time taping a car, kinda fun, kinda hard.
    I started taping while the putty was drying.

    Then, once it was hard, hehehe, and sanded i finished taping. By this time it was dark out and i had to get a desk lamp to help me see.

    After applying a few coats of plasti-dip, redoing it twice, this is the finished product, Also i took my lancer logo from the trunk, painted it red. I couldn't find any red spray paint so i borrowed my neighbors red interior house paint. Put on a few coats, covered it in clear and used the same putty to hold the emblem on the grill.

    Do you get rock chips on bumper? i mean, is the plastidip on the bumper durable?
