Yeah they (plastidip stuff) all look good online in pictures. I swapped trunks with a local guy who had the emblems plastidipped a few months ago and they look like *** up close and I tried removing a hidden portion to see how easy it comes off and it was basically chipping off.

Ok.. I never saw this thread but here it goes... I have owned 2 rx8s so here is my story..
2006 RX8 Galaxy Gray..
These Pics were taken for 5Zigen when the sports engine wheels came out... They sponsored me then... Pics. taken at the beach in Long Beach CA. in 2006
First kit... awww..
Then went to the clean look for a bit..
Then.. got my Carbon Fiber lip short lived thanks to the unfinished driveway to a gas station in LA..

Clearly you have no idea of what you are talking about in regards to this product. So you have seen a couple of shitty applications. So what? I have seen shitty wraps too, I don't judge all wraps by it because the product is fine. Human error does not make a product ****. Spreading misinformation does you a disservice. Wait what am I trying to convince you for? You obviously know everything there is to know about everything regardless of the experience of others is, yours must be the right one.

Yeah well, I have been to plenty of shows and seen it up close in many different applications and I have yet to see anyone do it well, including you.
But if you like it, rock out man, you will never convince me plastidip is worth a **** until I seen done well in person.

What does me being involved with the process have to do with anything? And how exactly amd I spreading misinformation? If it looks like ****, it looks like ****. I have seen many, many things Plastidipped and aside from under body stuff and off road stuff it always looks crappy and out of place. The only thing it has looked good on is exhaust shrouds but it doesn't hold up any better than anything else I have tried (paid to have it done by a pro).

Wheels, not rims!!

I know someone with an S5 that had it dipped by an authorized DipYourCar dipper... Looked like ***, which the owner later admitted to. He paid a decent premium over the dip kit itself to have it done "professionally". He had it on from summer '12 til March '13. It was a bitch to peal of and his door jambs were full of that ****. Can't imagine how much a detailer would charge just to make his door jambs brand new again too.

Back when we first got her in 2012:
MB Battles were my first set of wheels, and I eventually sold them for white Work XD9s.
Current progress in 2014 with full Shine Auto Project Type II, Work XD9s powder coated in crystal grey, and a bit of bolt-on mods for fun. I pretty much almost got the car where I want it to be; I'm going to lower the car eventually, but in a conservative manner. Most likely will do KYB Gas-a-Just and Progress Technology springs to match my sway bars. I eventually want to go turbo, but that won't happen for a while until I'm more financially stable and comfortable to take that risk.
