Hey all! We plastidipped the emblems, door pillars, and eyelids on my 8 today, and wanted to share the pics. Not so sure about keeping the eyelids though. I was also curious if you guys have dipped any parts on your car(s)? This stuff is easy to use, looks great and is VERY easy to remove. Show your stuff!

 

I have no pics of mine but did my a and c pillars, definitely very easy to use/remove.
Looks like your in Utah as well, check out slcrotary for local meets. Most of the people on there have 7's not a ton of people with 8's seems to get on the forums.

 

I've been a member on slcrotary for a few days. I'll have to come to some of the meets for sure!

 

We NEED to give your car a cold... Then we can go play with the 7's...

 

Why do the pillars aren't they already black?

When I first plastidipped my front emblem I had to do it twice because the first time I rushed and put way too much on. The second time I took almost 3 hours I think of going out every 20-30 minutes and spraying a very light coat on them and it worked awesome. On the front it looks like you had one drip forming which you can avoid by going super light every time it probably took 4 coats before it was even starting to turn solid black

 

The pillars are black, but they were etched from acid rain and looked nasty. There's the before and after pictures of the pillars, even though it not the same sides.

I didn't have any problems with doing any of it. The end results look awesome!

 

 

^ Not sure about painting those white, but if you like it, then it's all good.

 

Looks really good. I think that I'm going to do the same to my WWP when I get home next week!

 

This thread makes me cringe and makes me sad.

 

^ meh, harmless fun.

 

Won't be harmless after the plastidip gets removed from the $1,000.00 head lights after it has been on there for a while.

 

plasti dipping faded s1 exhaust shrouds might not be a bad idea if it will stick to that material

 

It would melt off in two seconds. It really doesn't hold up well at all to the elements.

 

Overspray central. That VR looks tacky as hell.

 

Plasitdip is easier to remove than a sticker, I know I guy who did his entire WRX in it for a while. Came right off without issue, paint looked just fine when it came off.

 

I bet it looked like *** up close. I have seen it done a few times and It's one of those things that looks good online and looks okay for minor tiny stuff but anything done on a large scale always looks like ***.

 

There is a thread around here that explains exactly what to do it was helpful. Make sure you have some wooden or plastic toothpicks to pick out the small parts.

I think for emblems plastidip looks very good but for most other things it might be a little weird looking. I like the textured look it gives the emblems if you spray it properly.

 

He did it for a road trip not for looks, ha. I was just saying it comes off very easily.

 

I did the inside of my side skirts to protect against rock chips. I wish I would have done it sooner but oh well. If I get them repainted I will do this again.

 

I recommend not buying more than you need and being left alone. All you end up with is my wheels.

 

looks tacky mehh

 

They had 4 cans at Lowe's so I bought 4 cans. It ended badly.

 

I wouldnt mind doing my badges, not sure if it will last though

 

Bought a can the other day, goin to try it out on my front badge. I can feel the addiction powers already lol.
