And it's junk. Pretty sure we are going to have to agree to disagree. Yes you can absolutely PlastiDip your car at home after watching a few YouTube videos, but it won't look nearly as good as it should if you get it done professionally and it's not ridiculously expensive to get done.

Looks like the pics are filtered? Not saying it looks bad but never have seen that kind of reflection off of plastidip. Love the color and looks like they did a nice job. Definitely more work to keep clean than a wrap. I say if you like it then leave it and get your moneys worth out of it. And glad you had it done right because believe me done wrong it does not just "peel off" I've had customers want their cars wrapped that had been plastidipped incorrectly

My advice to everyone....Do not get your whole car professionally done and definitely do not do it yourself because in the end you might like it for a little while but it will eventually come off because you decided you do not like it. Now, if you are just doing rims or a small portion of something, go ahead but make sure to clean it pretty often.

I bought an entire kit with spray gun and all for less then $400. Even if you did chameleon or some pearl it would only be around $600 total.
If the $1300 is a shops quote to spray PD they are ripping you big time... there's 2 shops near me that do it and they charge 500-600 for an evo sized car

Where do you get $1300 from?

So, Basically most people are liking the way it looks. I think I will keep it on there for now or at least until summer.
scopy, I would have spent $1300 on engine mods or some type of power upgrade and now looking back I should have saved it to use towards what I really want to do next but I didn't. If you see my signature, you will see I already have power upgrades to the car, spent 17K on all of that. The next thing for me is a MAP 2.3L or something close to it and for all of that work it will be about 8K. So to be honest your suggestion of spending it on something else is what I should have done but just not on any engine upgrades. I am almost at 500hp to the wheels so I am ok....for now.
sil'vr, I seen the orange evo that DYC did online and that isn't my car. Looks very similar. They put that video up in this past September and I had my car done back in May. The guys at DYC found my car online and posted it to their FB page about 2 weeks after I got it done....Now they spray an orange evo and put up a vid, hmmm. Wonder where they got the idea, haha. The only thing is the one in the video has a slightly different color to it. It is color changing so it isn't a solid orange like mine.
