Got tired of the shiny black showing dust/dirt almost immediately after being cleaned, especially after any drive, so I thought I'd try Plasti-Dipping it, to see how it'd come out.

Honestly, I don't think it looks bad, I'm gonna run it like this for a while.

Initially I was planning on removing the plasti-dip from the center section so the faux gas cap would show through, but I like it like this for now ...

 

I think it's looks fine in the shade, but not so good when the sun hits it.

 

It looks pretty ricer to me, like you're trying to mod your car for really cheap.

I would take it back to black and either keep a good coat of wax on it or a clear bra-type coating.

 

Very nice mod.

 

I think it looks really good in a satin black. the gloss on the '13s is just too overpowering. I do think the ribbed panel is best. Also, the faux gas cap would look fine if cleaned up.

 

thats kind of the point, it does the same as some of the $100 panel, for $5 a can, and you can peel it right off when or if you decide you dont like it

 

Thanks guys.
I love Plasti-Dip for its removal-ness (lol) ... if you make a mistake you can peel it off and re-do it, if you don't like it you can peel it off and no harm done

For now I like it. I've driven the car today for about 45 minutes and at the end of the drive I couldn't see any dust on that panel like I would've seen it the panel was still glossy black.

For me, I got what I wanted, and it didn't cost me much, since I already had the Plasti-Dip and the labor was free

 

Looks good! I think you should take off the plastidip on the circular part in the inside of the faux gas cap and the gt emblem. That way it stands out a little bit.

Here's how mine looks...

 

I like it! The gloss on the 13s doesn't really match anything else on the car

 

Looks great for 5 bucks Gabe!

 

I agree. I think it's a unique look, but IMO taking it off the faux gas cap would look better. It's an interesting idea....I get annoyed by how quickly the gloss gets dirty but I just carry around a bottle of quick detailer and a rag.

Granted; my car sits in a garage all week while I take the bus to work, so it's not too bad.

 

Still have my idea of matte clear coating the whole panels and tailights. Or even matte clear vinyl...

 

I would peel it off on top of the gas cap. Being covered up it reminds me of a donut.

 

I know this is an old post but can you tell me if you prefer to spay or brush. thinking of doing the same thing to mine

 

I believe Gabe switched to a RTR painted to match decklid. So he doesn't have this anymore. And I think most people just spray it on.

 

Sprayed on. Definitely not spayed

RTR panel ... I finally gave up on me painting it, it's at a body shop now, getting done in Sterling Gray by a pro, was promised mirror-like finish.
Might actually have it installed this Saturday

 

Sweet! Sucks it didn't work for you.

 

Meh .... lesson learned.

Plasti-Dip, I'm good with.

Painting, leave it to the pros

 

I love it! I'm disappointed I didn't think of it myself.

Looks great!
