Cut springs are next lol

Saved money and still looks great. Props.

My first thought was,"Here we freakin go!" It looks really good! I must say I like the centercaps with the logo exposed though. Nice job!:happy0180:

Love the car, hate the wheels.

Wow. Looks great. Better than I thought! Was thinking of doing a matte-grey powder coat.

This is plasti-dip.. if you mess up, just add like 3 layers atop, and just peel it off! Then retry!

Pretty awesome stuff

Well, after looking at this, I think I may plasti-dip my emblems in white. Thanks for the tip, I never thought of plasti-dip.

Not bad, think would look better with gloss finish though

We dont have plasti-dip in Aus so im not familiar with the product. How does it stick to the surface of the wheel? Surely it will start to come off after a few months since you didnt "prep" the wheels beforehand?

Turned out great, although I wouldn't do it since I happen to be the only person on this forum that likes the OEM wheels (not sure what that says about me).

Definitely better than the guy who did everything but the wheels on his BRZ!
