I dipped my rims, grille, door handles, window trim, just curious about the process of doing a complete car...

Btw do those f&f type 1's ride nice?

too much plastidip.

color match the front grille if you can, and leave the A and wings alone, or just the A.
ditch the SI wheels, they're ugly. the trimming and door handles are fine.

get FF1s and slam that shit. for the price you get em for, you will not regret it.
i enjoy the ride, and you can go sooooo low with them.

Thanks freeaTLast

& HairyMonkey019 I'm not a big fan of chrome "/ I think it's played out so as soon as I got my hands on plasti dip I went nuts. The si wheels were an upgrade from the base wheels I had (base wheels on a type s?? Well that's what they had on thre when I bought it) plus I got them at a good price.

What I really want are those xxr 527's...CONCAVE ! Loveee that look.. Would attempt to fit Vossen Wheels on my baby but I'm not financially on that level

Wetsand the entire car and spray it with a few coats of satin clear. It will look better than plastidip.

I plan on doing my whole car plasti dip too, I think it's pretty dam good for the prices its at. Plus you can always just peel it off and there's no harm down to the original paint, don't see why people criticize plasti dip so much ....

plasti-dip gets criticized because it is associated with cheap Home Depot mods.


when done right, it looks pretty good. don't know if you saw my post before but check out www.dippednyc.com for pictures of dipped cars.
