Looksgood. I was thinking of plastidiping my stock rims, and was wondering, If I plastidip them and put clear coat would they come out a glossy/shiny black? Rather than flat black with plastidip alone?

aphu : yeah ill try to get up more pics tomorrow,

Bizzare: there is a plasti dip "glossifier" thats suppost to give it a gloss look, if you put regular gloss over it itll harden and be a b**ch to take off (made that mistake with plastidip eyelids, paint thinner helped take the gloss off so the plastidip could be pulled off but i would not suggest it at all)

SanoSuke: :biggrin: yes, yes it is.. defiantly my best mod yet, i literally can not tell you how many people either stare or have crazy compliments :) not a single hatter yet, but i mean who could hate on that ? :mike

Nice coupe. The black G rims look really good. I don't know about the Pokeball centercaps. I wouldn't hate, I'd be more jealous that you're not afraid to do your own thing if anything, but it's just kind of strange to me. No offense, but they would make me think a hot Japanese girl is driving, and that's what I'd be staring for. ;)

That's exactly how I look at it. Sets your car apart in a big way, in a small way.

loving the poke ball caps! :bigthumb:
nice touch!
btw, any plans for changing the hood? I don't think it is a good idea to wrap the eyelids with CF vinyl while the whole car is black.. maybe you should color the eyelids black or at least wrap the hood with CF :naughty:

The car looks great, but I must say I'm quite pleased with your choice in center caps. Definitely a unique choice, and a pretty awesome one, at that
