IMO Plasti Dip is horrendous.

However, dip away! Thanks for making the value of my car go up - The rarity of it's un-molested natural beauty has just increased.

Unless you have a very special, very limited run car, the value of your car isn't increasing....

wait what? Lmao
ive used plasti dip in the past on an old truck and it can be a pain to peel off but I don’t see how this is hurting my Z in anyway. In fact one of the reasons I wanted diff wheels was to keep my stockers mint in storage.

I tried to VHT Nightshades my front emblem. Needless to say I pulled it off and wet-sanded the area. I buffed it out and now am looking for a new or used emblem for cheap that has alignment pins. I should of used plasti-dip with glossifier.

It'll be interesting for sure. I have an LMB myself, so I can picture it, I think. As others have mentioned...it is YOUR car, so if you can envision it in you head and you like it, then go for it. I have the comp gray wheels on mine which I was never a fan of...until they were on MY car. Now they grew on me and I like them. Still want some two tone black and blues though...

Bronze and blue go together well. In the end you have to go with what look you want. And its better we all like different looks or our cars would be boring!

Search for my 'build' thread if you want pics, that's my exact set up.

Looks amazing! I may do something with my Cup wheels, I dislike my red stripe. How much did that cost?

Well I got the wheels from a forum vendor powder coated flat black. The gold color is just plasti-dip. Still not 100% since it kinda looks cheap. I do like the color combo though.

Did you add Plastidip Glossifier? That will bring them out a tad more!
