Looks outstanding. Almost enough to convince me to re-do mine just like it! Love the front end, wheels, and spoiler.

Looks like I'm too late to say don't do it. lol. I think the clean look, is better. You have a great looking car. If you like em, do it, and enjoy.

Thanks for all the comments guys....the positive AND the negative ones! Helps me decide.

I talked to a body shop today about getting them Painted on (Flat/matte black)
Total cost was $575, I'm gonna talk to another shop tomorrow to compare. Vinyl would be cheaper, but paint is better IMHO.

You did a great job with that plastidip! However, looking at your before, I vote no stripe. I love a clean PW, and you had it executed very well. It'll look good either way though.

Wow, that's impressive work with Plasti-Dip. I did mine in vinyl to see if I liked them, before investing $ to havethem painted. Now I'm debating on whether or not to get an aftermarket hood, so paint is on delay until I decide on a hood, it'll need paint anyway.

How many cans did it take you?

Also, I really don't understand the crusade against Plastidip. Yeah, if you paint your whole car with it and it's permanent, I think that looks retarded. But if it's just to see how something looks before you drop a couple hundred bucks or more on something, what's wrong with that?
