Haha thanks guys... I just want to try something new. Figured plastidip is the safest bet. I've always wanted a yellow frs... Seen the videos from youtube where that dip guy does diff cars..
My friend actually tried dipping his wrx but he did it out in the cold so it didnt end well hahah...

And yeah @BigFatFlip of course i'd be buying those paints not the cans haha. Arrgghhh i so want a yellow frs tho....
Figured if it doesnt look good i can just peel em off and get that sexy asphalt color back.

Do it the right way and just wrap the car.

Yeahhh... Thought abt that. But i want to try it out first. Wrapping a whole car would cost almost 2 grand..

If you take most of the panels out yourself, i know a shop who can do it for like a grand

overlookedx · 04-12-2013, 07:40 PM

Definitely worth it to do it right, cause you will not end up with a sick looking yellow car if you go the dip route.. you'll end up with a car that reminds me of my neighbor's old Jetta that he rattle cans every few years. I bet he thought he'd have a sick looking matte white Jetta too, but all he has now is a rattle canned POS.

If you're doing yellow? Gloss for sure. I'd get like a 1st gen Lambo Gallardo Superlagra Yellow.

Thats what i was thinking as well. But damn matte looks good too..

BigFatFlip · 04-12-2013, 08:57 PM

definitely gloss, matte is only nice when its clean... which is hard to keep that way if this is your daily.

Have any of you guys thought about shaving the antenna completely?

Yes! Which way - off completely or with a G35/like antenna? I've looked at completely off but too much $$ to just plug a hole. The G35 option seems friendly enuff. Corollas and Accords has some GPS antennas I would not mind swapping with, Fubas are old school.

A yellow twin would be sweet!
