The PlastiDipped BRZ is mine.
A few points:
1. Use a professional HVLP gun & air compressor. Don't use the rattle cans.
2. Shoot for a low-humidity day.
3. Lay down enough layers (4 minimum) to make it easy to peel later. More is definitely better.
I laid mine down on a day that was just a bit too humid. This caused the PD to cure differently than the nice, 'shiny' matte finish I wanted. Mine really, really sucked up the light. The pic above was taken the same day I laid the PD on, so it hadn't fully cured. Also, over time, the PD smoothed-out. I kept it on for about 4 months and never had any issues. It did save my bacon when I hit a piece of tire rubber that slapped against my rear fender.
All in all, I would look at doing it again -- if I had the right weather to contend with. I've purchased enough vinyl to wrap my car and will be going that route next.
After you peel the car, plan on getting the car detailed & waxed. The PD will pull all the wax off of your car.
