I think it looks great.The plastidip makes it look like a toy, which it is.

IMO, shiny new thousand dollar rims on a 6-7 year old car are WAY more "ghetto" than matte plastic.

I think it would look better in matte if you had left the chrome trim, but hey...we do what we like to our cars so if you like it, more power to ya.

yup. saw this today too and looks much better. contrast is needed rather than have everything all in one color.

God no.........if I had chrome wheels then I would agree but my wheels are gloss black so if I strip all the dip to expose the chrome it's just going everywhere then.....It looks good but he needs the chrome wheels now...IMO that is.

I also believe that as a general rule, your sound system or wheels should never exceed the book value of your car, LOL

@Milcity do you have to register your car as a different color?

you should be fine...I myself did not even use the whole 3 Gallons...I wouldn't worry about it..plus the beauty is that you can always add more dip ....

apparently each state is different but to my understanding No....you do not have to update your car's color with the DMV...it's not permanent therefore, no need to update your vehicle with the DMV.
