    After:

    Yes, yes, I realize there's still more zombie-attracting chrome to take care of. Maybe tomorrow. The Plasti-dip performed admirably, considering the lack of prep I did on the whole project. Scuff, clean, spray! The bumper was done in Rustoleum's bedliner, which turned out beautiful, lack of prep or not.

    lookin good. Is it weird that I also have a WRX wagon and SV and really want a 'cruiser someday?

    No, we're clearly intelligent, handsome men that appreciate the finer things in life.

    It looks good. Some vehicles just don't need chrome.

    Got my Zombie ZAV up and running last week, it is getting painted with bed liner, easy to wash zombie goo off.....(and hide all the damned rust)

    Look, I don't want to get into it again, but you and I both know... when they inevitably attack (after they take over government, which is nearly complete (no real political thing going here... just roll with it)) you'll jump in that WRX fastern' you can say OMFGWFTBBQZA!HSLGTFOOH! The 'cruiser will be a good decoy, but the 'rex (wagon if you're nasty) will be the go-to.

    I love it. Nice. I just watched Pandemic. So-so zombie movie. Here's mine again, just replaced fuel pump and some fuel line this morning. Yes it may have been smoking a little. Replaced t-state too.

    helll no...you're obviously a man of impeccable taste. who doesn't want one of those someday?

    (well, the 'cruiser is a close second behind a defender 90 for me.)

    I have noticed a flaw Charlie... You left the chrome on the door handles.

    Leaving the chrome handles will allow the Zombies to snack on your handsome and well educated brain nuggets, at least throw some camo vinyl on them.

    The door handles, mirrors, and the damn window trim are on the todo list to dechrome. I'm also not sure if the Plasti-Dip would hold up to being used on the handles.

    For now, I'll rely on the efficient power locks that came standard on the FJ62 for zombie protection.

    Wait, I thought women and crows are attracted to shiny objects?

    Sneak peak of my Zombie attack front end. Have the lights fitted, but have gone back to stock until I get the wiring right.
