Khanvict Evo DIY Mods
Got the car back from the shop after a sick E85 Conversion, and an aggressive tune. Decided to work on cosmetics, so I painted my rocker cover, and rims. I painted them Takata Green(or as close as I could get). To do so I Plasti-dipped as a base coat and then spray painted over that. As a result I got an excellent paint job which I can easily take off!
Spark Plug Cover
New Front Lip, and Custom Windshield Decal.
Update**
Waxed the car with Turtle Black Box. Tends to make the car darker with a black 2 step wax and detailer. Love it! This is to show headlight visibility. I waxed the Lamin-X for the hell of it as well and it looks better.
Put the car on jacks to clean the underbody.
Close up of the rims and wax job.
Rear Shot. Debadged the Mitsu Emblem to make room for the trunk lip that I just got. It's gonna match the heat shield. Also got a chance to buff and reshine my dirty Turbo XS exhaust, and drop the car a little lower!
The headlights which I've painted.
My brothers Fluro Orange stockers. Did the plastidip process with them as well. Not done yet, but so far so good.

So, you plasti dipped your wheels first (black, I'm assuming), and then sprayed them with that green paint? If so, do you have a close up of the wheel?

Instead of throwing that black crap on your headlights, impairing light output, have you thought about taking them apart and painting them? A much cleaner look IMO, and you'll lose some of that "rice" factor.
