@Frenchy42 Thanks bro, I appreciate it

@walkowg Yeah, the quick release fasteners are there for easy removal of the bumper, and are completely functional. The only thing holding my bumper on is a couple push in "christmas tree" fasteners in the wheel wells, and those quick releases. I've taken the bumper off so many times that the factory clips no longer hold it in place. This is actually the bumper from my first HHR, so it's been through alot

@chefhhr The fasteners are a little more forgiving than factory hardware, and I have been known to ride too low and hit things

@blizzard The white turned out great

Like chefhhr mentioned, the white is easily stained or tarnished, but if you apply some of DipYourCar's Dip Coat over it, it'll stand up against the elements a little better. I applied it over my entire car after i changed to the red dip, and it definitely helps with keeping it clean. It turns the rubbery feeling of the dip into a slick almost vinyl wrap feel. Definitely worth looking into if you plan on keeping the dip for a while.

WD-40? Nope - go read the thread, especially page 2 where Lunchbox gives a lot of info on the process he used to apply it, and also how easily it peels off. Also check youtube for countless videos on plastidip usage.
