I always thought that people on this forum like when people tried stuff out just for the fun of it. Either way I expected the feedback to be mixed as with any forum. You will either love or hate it there will be not in between.

Actually I am on the fence on it myself. Maybe if more was done (center of bumper below grill, section where fender garnish is, etc. etc. it would be better. I do like how it breaks up the white though. The Whiteout and Halos are nice but they are sooo, ummmm, ahhhhh "white" and a little break in the colour (or lack there of) goes a long way (says the guy driving the "LOOK AT ME " orange).

Ha yeah I gotcha. I am a big fan of people doing what they want to their cars. Also it is not the greatest picture looks much better in person. I was actually thinking about doing the indents where the 86 emblem is on the sides as well. I think that I might be addicted to plasti dip now though, hope I can find a 12 step program.

Well first step is admitting you have a problem (I think) so you are well on your way!

I think the black roof look can be attractive (not my taste but I have seen some that look nice), but the matte finish clashes too much. If it were glossy and reflective like the glass it'd look more complete and finished. Matte black will also get excessively hot in the sun.

Plastidipping the entire car is another story, once the entire car has the same look and finish, it would appear more complete and can look good.
