I bought my Summit White 1Lt 1.4T Cruze back in September of last year and since then I've put 5 different systems in it and I've only tinted the windows and bowties and of course rainguards. There will be a lot of pictures in this log as well and they will take some time, but in the meantime enjoy the pictures!

20% Tint & 20% Brow
Rainguards
Red Dipped Wheels
Black Dipped Cruze & LT Emblem, Chrome Trunk Bar, Door Handle, Mirrors, & Grill Area
Upgraded headlights (high/low beam)

Future Mods:
Black Dipped Roof, Black Dip Crome On Fogs, & Door Chrome Trim
Upgrade All Interior & Exterior Lights
Red Underglow
Tune
BOV
Intake
More (can't think of them right now)

I'm doing my interior grey pieces this weekend. I'll take some pics each step to show what I'm doing and some video of the light/heavier sprays to show what it should look like in action. (please don't **** up during the video lmao)

Yup, don't want it peeling and I want to be able to wipe it down too or take it apart without fear of peeling.

That's why I painted mine, instead of Dip, plus paint opens the color options way up.

Go for a comfortable trigger sprayer. Cheap 1 finger sprayer gets weird on you after a while. When you shake the can, readjust the nozzle as the trigger may have shifted around the can.

I want to try and get that done on the weekend, did you remove the bumper to dip it or just cardboard/paper in behind so as no to cover the rad in dip ? Any pics of the new front look ?

Yeah I covered up the whole grill with tape so no dip would get on the rad. And I have yet to finish the front. I'm happy with the back so far lol.
