I applaud you for that! You'll enjoy the car a whole lot more w/ the power you will gain with the bolt-ons. Not to mention Mike Adkins @ PRS working his magic .

That is great to hear. Quite frankly, if the plastidip is done correctly, stock wheels can really turn out nicely. I imagine the BBS look pretty hot on your car now. Use that 2k for performance stuff and really enjoy your car.

For those of you that dipped your wheels on the car, how do you keep the plasti-dip off the lugs? If you dipped over the lugs, any issues with twisting and peeling the dip off when you remove the lugs to remove the wheels for maintenance?

Looks great! And it does last for awhile. My friend has dipped wheels on his Audi and they have been going strong. Just stay away from gravel lol

How close is the plastidip white to the Evo white? I am going to do my wheels, but also wanted to paint a part of my CF lip to blend with the bumper and was wondering of the white with glossifier would match.

The plasti dip white is more white than the car color, it almost makes the car look like it has a yellow tinge to it. It's not really noticeable though. I didn't use glossifier either.

Good job! I'm liking plastidip more and more after seeing so many pics .....

Question: How well does plastidip cover up curb rash? I don't have anything serious on my oem 8 wheels but wanted to know if they cover up minor blemishes well?

I plan on plastidipping my wheels too!

Thanks for the link as well..I'll be reading it to familiarize myself prior to tackling this job.

Thinking of doing this to my stock rims. Does any one know how long this last? What is the cost and has any one had issues not sticking to the rim? Thanks in advance.
