I'm still not too sure about the whole Plasti-dip thing...

eh.... matte black dipping just doesn't work with the bulky body of this car. It just makes it look incomplete. Matte colors that aren't black? possibly awesome.

I also think the headlights are a major downgrade from the stock 13-14 headlights, and also contribute to the cheapening of the look. That might add to the bias.

I don't understand this dip thing...why would you do that?
Doesn't do any harm. When you're done with the look, you just peel it right off.

I see. So it doesn't harm the finish?

Nope, in fact it seem to protect the finish on my Fiesta wheels. When I peeled it off they looked brand new and shinny underneath.

I've done wheels and had a hell of a time getting all off. Maybe because of the heat from the brakes?

I've seen mustang done in both blue and orange plastdip. They looked sick!!!

Cmon. You can't say that doesn't look good.
