Like the way the license plate cover is modded. Different.

I never liked flat black Halos. A glossy Vinyl wrap would look sweet though IMO.

I'm curious about the mirrors. Another guy did it and I liked it, can you post a farther away shot showing how the whole car looks with the mirrors plastidipped?

I would agree with you on the halo - does not do much for the car with it being flat black. The rest of the pieces looks good though.

Any of the bright colors really. It is hard to notice with the grey. Could be the lighting. Maybe take a picture in the sunlight?

On a side note, I generally like the halo look

I dipped the mirrors on my white vert. and really like the look.I didn't take the mirrors off so I didn't get a very good finish on the inside .If anyone has a tip on how to get the dip inside the mirror I would be grateful.I just got a new PC so I am getting closer to doing pictures.BTW yours look great

Flash, can you dip those ugly inspection stickers also? Don't you just hate it when you live in a state with ugly license plates like those puke orange ones that stick out like a pimple? Good job, I think I am going to experiment a little this winter when I get bored with my drop top. Think I will practice on my wife's car first.

on the stickers and it does take practice. I redid the halo twice,that's only reason I left it on considering the time it took. I just did my '55 ford p/u cab, I'll keep playing when I get time. Thanks guys,L8R ZFLASH
