Msilvia, thank you sir. Since my Coupe hasn't been driven for going on three years now (sad, I know) I find solace and enjoyment just tinkering on misc. things. I've done some interior work since and revamped the stereo once again.Originally Posted by Msilvia
Not sure if you revealed what your next set of wheels are but I'm guessing they will be 17s =) Looking forward to see what you got in the works mayn!
Cheers, CaliAgents!

Finally got my True Metallic Anthracite Plasti-Dip in...and I finished off the custom side grills/gills! They're color-matched to my wheels for added steeziness.
I did the trunk handle too, so now everything's varying shades of black and gray.

^^^ What'd you use to get that look? I sprayed some plasti-dip "smoke" over mine and got a similar finish, I quite like it. I was trying to emulate a shadow chrome finish. I like the debadge as well

That's just 3-4 coats of the Anthracite - True Metallic plasti-dip. It's amazing! Waaaaaaayyyy better than previous plasti-dip products. All you do is clean the part correctly and completely, then start dippin'!^^^ What'd you use to get that look? I sprayed some plasti-dip "smoke" over mine and got a similar finish, I quite like it.

It has a semi-gloss sheen...sorta satin-like, which is exactly what I wanted. It also really is metallic anthracite. It's only available from dipyourcar.com though, but costs the same as the regular stuff. I bought a can of glossifier just in case, but didn't end up using any of it.
P.S. Ain't nobody got time for ///M's!

In for pics of the plasti-dipped trunk handle. I dipped my badges, but with just a regular gray. I don't hate them; but don't love them. I dipped the handle next, and was not a fan. I think the darker anthracite from dip your car would work much better.

....it's the same color as the gills pictured above. Look at the color of the gill I did, then imagine the same color on the trunk handle.
You can kinda see it in this pic, but it's actually a bit darker than the pic shows:

Usually not a fan of black colored cars, or coupes for that matter, however you've pulled it off quite nicely. Well done!

Looks beautiful! What's your suspension set up?

wife decided to take mine out with bad weather without me knowing and returned it like so!
So I ordered up a new one, primed it, layed the base coat and clear coat in my garage. (Experienced painter with aircraft and cars for fun).
waiting cure.
newly fitted, and cost me less than 300$ for everything, good luck taking it to a shop for that price lol.(added a lip)

After a gentle toothbrush with hot water and some Shout:
And I got the EC-7's installed from the Group Buy a few weeks back. No rubbing, but looks like I'll need a spacer to get the rear's as flush as I'd like them

well if you lived near by I would paint the bumper for you, 200$ material cost included. only thing I wish I would have done is filled the license plate holes but oh well, I'm sure I will be painting it again in the future.
