All the plastic molding around the windshield and door windows is forever turing white looking even after keep them plastered with armoral, back to black and tire wet... so I finally today figured I'd mask them off and plasti dip them. They came out ok; not bad... NOW we'll have to see how these hold up. I did NOT take pictures 'cuz it's just the molding!

If you did it, it will look great. You are a perfectionist. I still want to see pics. Did you do it on Blue, Shadow, or Lucky?

Depending how often your car is sitting in the sun, you should try and wipe all black vinyl, rubber and plastic parts once a week. I'd suggest you use 303 products, vinyl, leather, plastic and rubber protector. It's one of the best UV protectant, used in marine applications.

As far as the durability is concerned.. I've had mine on my wheels now for a month, and it's held up damn well. No chips or anything. I've even sprayed it with the pressure wand from about 3 feet away at a car wash. Still holding up beautifully.

You shouldn't have to worry about it peeling off unless you do it yourself. My front bumper is still holding up good after a month

Well just got BLUE back and took pictures of the moldings ~ think it's kinda hard to tell from the pictures but it does look better. Really sunny and hot (100 degrees), so NOT the best pictures... but here they are...
