I prefer them the way they were because it was much cleaner and your car looked perfect. However it's your car and I imagine it took a little while and doesn't look terrible.

well, then at least get rid of that silver strip on the side of the headlights.

all you need is a bit of sand paper and some more black paint.

I didn't ask anyone if they liked, or if I should keep or take off. Just posted some pics because it's definitely drying up in the 2g section. Nobody's doing anything different.

^ this. Doesn't even look bad man. I love how people are so negative and quick to comment and try to fix your car for no reason lol. At least you tryin something different because everybody does the same shit to their cars nowadays and it's boring. Props for changin it up.

no, you post on an open public forum

you shared your photos, we gave our opinions...


you can't only expect good responses back.. people gave me shit for my ride about certain things i've done.. oh well. doesn't matter if they like it or not.


wtf do you want us to do then? everyone just not post at all? lol..


you said it was drying up... if nobody posted replies.. then certainly it will be dry... your thread will only be bumped down while people keep posting their cars with stock wheels and so forth...

i totally agree with josh. you posted pics of your ride expecting people to comment back on it. if you like it, then keep it. everyone has their own taste, so to each his own. i just voiced my own opinion just like everybody else does on this board.

gotta learn how to take comments and criticism..

Its not that its bad to be different, just that shade of blue looks ugly. It looks fake and cheesy, if it was a polished or darker/light it would look good. Right its a neonish blue


Just a suggestion navy blue would look sick on there.

Loved them silver, would love to see something not so bold. Bronze, black Or Gunmetal. Looks Cool! I have a purple fetish (my calipers are purple) so try that! Props on the dip as mine are dipped. Nice work bro, but it doesn't fit IMO. It takes away from your whip. Ur car is on the verge of being VIP.

Thanks for sharing, a little to defensive though.

You posted for a reason and you did it plastidip for a reason. People are giving thoughts and that's all.
I personally love the attempt at doing something different, the blue is too bright for me but I it doesn't look to bad.
I also tried a different color, I'll post later.
