Default A little fun I had tonight in the garage!

#1 Replaced the Spark Plugs and Coils

#2 Put on some 3" Westin Step/Nurf Bars

#3 Painted the new Grille with Plasti Dip (it was chrome)

#4 Waxed / Clay Bar'd the replacement hood

Hood and grill will go on tomorrow. The current hood/grill are a bit crumpled from a tree that fell on the front from a wind storm.

This Durango was new to me as of last week . Gonna get all the little things fixed and she'll be my DD so I can rest the G8 a little bit!

Looks good! Where did you go through to get the steps, how much were they and how hard were they to install?

Install was a 2 outta 5. Only hard part was getting the frame mount bolts loose. Just took some muscle.

I'll post the link when I get home to the Westins.

That's cheap, may have to look for another set for my rig. Now exactly what paint did you use for your grill, do you have a link?

Just run to your home depot and pick up a spray can of plasti dip. Stuff is great. Plus, if you want the chrome look back, you can peel it off. I've had this on my g8 grill for 2yrs, no chipping or peeling up.

Here are pics with the replacement hood and grill painted with Plasti Dip. Fender still has a little damage by the grill/hood, but I'm gonna leave that alone. Next up are new headlights that aren't faded yellow and then clear corners.
