This is really one of the only "before" pics I have. All i had really done was started to clean 'er up and plasti dipped the weaves. Noticed the extreme reverse rake due to IE3 springs without rubber perches that had ground themselves almost flat on the last coil

Looks good other than the white on white is not a look I enjoy. Clean car though.

How long did you have the plasti dip on the weaves and how did it hold up?

Plasti Dipping weaves is a HORRIBLE idea. Since the wheel is so small and the pattern is so intricate, the possibility of actually peeling it off well is bad. I had chunks and pieces in the tight spots I couldn't get off. Maybe if you had like 7 coats of dip per wheel it might hold together better when peeling....but who knows.

Long story short, don't do it unless you want a mess.

While the dip was on the wheels, it looked great and held up great. The plasti dip glossifier seems to ATTRACT dirt and dust, and isn't easy to clean off...which seems opposite of what it should do.
