^ I don't think it'd cover the crack if that's what you're looking for input on

I'd say its an idea so long as you fill the crack with something soft first like silicon sealant. You dont want hard filler flying around if it ever goes off!

Yeah that black spoiler needs to go. So tacky no offence. Go with a spoiler that attaches to the rear part of trunk like above the back bumper

Still blows my mind that people do that to their cars. How do people even find that mildly attractive? I know "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", but what the ****, man. WTF.

to each his own....... the wing is tacky and i dont get the point of the flat black hood, it just looks like a cheep unprimered hood. But yes people have to chill with the reactions, no need to be an assh*le

Being a college student I dont really have room for too much expenses. The vinyl protects the car as well so no point in taking it off right now.

Why are you painting your wheels brown? I'd be sorting out those mirrors and that door frame first.

Hi! How are they holding up? Have they melted or faded?



What do you guys think about the lip? I wasn't that sure in the start. Just did it for fun, but know it's starting to grow on me.

My pic below has plastidipped wheels.... Matte black. Currently I put about 3 coats of glossifier on them to give the a gloss look. Easy to use, looks great, easy to remove....

If you do it right, it can be quite attractive - you just have to know what you are doing... My son did his rims then mine - even close up they look beast!
