Looks great man.
How’s the dip holding up? And how is it to clean/maintain?

dip holding ok, if you are someone that is a perfectionist, the dip will bother you. You get the occasional knicks here and there and finger scratches that dont go away.

it's pretty temperamental, cant let water dry on it in the sun--will take a few weeks to come off. Bird poop has to come off within the hour or it'll burn into it.

Overall, the maintenance and issues arent so bad for what amounts to a $500 temporary paint job.

Looks good man. Love the custom/unique touches that you did with the front piece and the lights above the exhaust.

yeah that’s fair enough. I don’t think I would have the urge to maintain like that tough lol.

But it at least you got a good color out of it. And didn’t dip it something simple. Otherwise it might’ve been like....why? Lol
