I guess I am not a total snob: I did use Plasti-dip to balck out the bug ugly gols Chevy emblems on the grill and liftgate of my Traverse.
I understand what you're saying, but remember, we are all car guys here. I like to see someone taking the extra time to do something to the car themself. Anyone, including myself, can buy the parts from iND and put it on. Heck some guys even pay someone to put the parts on for them. But I think it's cool when you take the time to do it yourself. It's not about the money. We could all afford it if we bought this car. Rock on.
