Nice Weather out today so i thought I'd Clean the car. Also had Viper 350 HV alarm system installed today! And my Zoom-Zoom sticker came today

Thinking of Plasti Dipping my stock rims. White or black? What do you think guys?!

theevilm · Apr 25, 2013

I have that same head unit! It's pretty awesome.

We do! haha yeah i like it, works good especially for the price. i just hate that i have to use the favorite button for radio stations versus having 1-6 buttons :/

I like the look of white but I'm not sure if it'll flow well with midnight blue and it's a hassle to keep clean with brake dust alone. And plastidip is a dirt magnet, soooooooo..... definitely black.

Or if you're plastidipping might as well go with a crazy color since you can peel it off anyway (alright)

I was thinking of doing something exotic! But not much goes with the blue, so I was thinking if I went crazy maybe gold, but it doesn't look good on the stocks I don't think!

JaLMP5 · Apr 25, 2013

I like how gold is crazy, that's the color I'm going with for my wheels. If i can find something that I like that won't cost $3K.

I love the look of Gold on a P5! And I feel you! That's why for the mean time I'm gonna drop $18 and dip my stocks while I search!

Pimpecoven · Apr 25, 2013

Going to get plasti dip either today or tomorrow and do my rims! Ill have pics. Also gonna dip the little groove along the back bumper that everyone else dips.

I love its simplicity. And I never listen to the radio so I don't have that problem haha. I saw a black msp with gold rx8 wheels that looked phenomenal. I dipped my stock wheels black and I think they came out alright. Do they make gold plastidip????

Pimpecoven · Apr 26, 2013

Hey everyone! Went down to home Depot today picked up 3 cans of black plastidip and had a good old time! My chrome rims were shot from the previous owner who ran them in the snow (dumbass). You'll see what I'm talking about down below! Here's a few pics of my progress, let me know what you guys think! Ill have some better pics tomorrow when the sun comes up!

Here's the rims all prepped and ready for the first coat.

The Final Product

(color looks weird because i had a flashlight and my phone flash on)

Almost has a "Rally" look to it... Thinking about throwing some Rally Armour Flaps on

Saw that everyone was doing it and had to paint my Valence. Thinking about painting the wing? Opinions?
