Here's a cold start of the truck with the borlas added. I'd do some things to get this obnoxious high idle to go away. Not sure why but revs up to 2k on startup...
I plasti-dipped my cowls and 2 years later it got flaky and chalky. I suggest NOT dipping cowls. I used Wipe-New on the "new to me" used pair I bought and they look great with the Wipe-New.
Curious as to why you went with Plastidip over paint?
Paint's not really made for plastic. Sometimes it mottles, sometimes it cracks over time as the plastic expands/contracts from temperature changes. It might crack if you need to remove them and the plastic flexes.
Paint would probably be fine if you used a spray gun and added flex additive, but that would be too much trouble. Add the fact that you I already had it... They probably have flexible bumper spray tho...
And you can now get Rust-oleum Peel Coat at any Walmart for like $7 a can and almost anyone can do it without much effort.
Took the sand bags out, put my fuse box cover back on. I had an issue where one of my fuses was popping loose and I wasn't able to shift, didn't have any heat, and lost my radio. But my dash was lit up. I pushed in the fuses and checked the grounds. No more issue. So I took the box off to notch it out for my Bambi mod.

Krylon Fusion is made for plastic. Has great reviews. Seems that's what most on here go with and are happy with it.
I guess I don't understand the whole dip thing on something like that because it's not as permanent as paint.. It's not like you're gonna want to peel it off and go back to the faded grey.

True. I would've had no problem trying that had I known about it. I just had a spray can of plasti-dip handy and seemed logical and seemed to do the trick. Will see about Longevity. It's been good almost a year. If it starts peeling I'll just do it again; not a huge effort to remove the cowls.

Did mine with Krylon Fusion going on two years ago and they still look like the day I painted them.
