They are legitimate questions. If what I asked gets you butt hurt then god help you for people ACTUALLY being rude about it.

Better option is vinyl material and knifeless tape.

Keep water drops from drying on it to avoid hard water circles. Plastidip WILL fade over time when left in the sun. And I hope you put enough coats on it to PEEL it, because if not you will hate life pulling that on one little piece at a time.

I didn't coat a Fbody spoiler enough and it was a PITA to get it off. Luckily it was a shitty paintjob and I went to town with WD-40 to loosen it. Plastidip "Dip Remover" is not intended for any painted PLASTIC surfaces BTW...

Is it done? I'm confused on what the "vision" is supposed to be. Camouflage? Random sections of color?

You can exit man, clearly you’re just here for criticism and hatred of Plasti dip because someone messed up yours when you bought your car!

If you actually care stay tuned for updates, whether it’s to your liking or not!

If you just want to come in here and be annoying please find something else to B itch about!

I'm guessing camouflage is the goal. I've seen a few camo C5s and they look pretty dang good.

Is that lower bolt on the rear fender out for this process?

Yeah back half Camo style/freehand shapes!

Those two bolts were not installed yet, slightly off from manufacturer so need to take wheel off and adjust hole!

Not everyone wants a cookie cutter C5.... I applaud your vision... Not everyone has the ability to appreciate something outside the box.
As a designer, I certainly can see, and look forward to any further effort.
