    I looked on the plastidip site and they had some kind of solution that would allow you to fix tears and imperfections without respraying the whole panel.

        I'm shocked at how good that looks. Nice.

          Looks good man. I'm usually not a fan of the early model rear end b/c the tail lights look too small, but yours looks really good with that color. It just fits...

            Thanks, Guys :)

            Just for fun. Have another idea to add to this. Then peel it off at some point!

              Thats pretty big in the midwest, my buddy just dipped his Viper to protect it. We have a few companies around here that do knockout jobs, door jambs, under the hood.

              This is one of the owners cars of a local shop called "Addipted"



              All done with plastidip.

              and my buddies Viper



              Your car looks great man, I'll be doing the same for next season once the car is together until I can get a proper paint job.

                      Looks surprisingly good. That road is a good place to take pictures too.

                              Most is pretty awesome. There are a couple spots that if I did it again could remedy.

                              So water drains down the C-Pillar/Kink. I left those pieces on so the plastidip isn't all the way into that ridge so water was able to get in there. So I made some small holes and the water runs out. It pulled up a little bit.

                              Otherwise all things considered it looks great.

                              I think a full respray will be this winter.

                                not bad though, lasted for 2 years! Im thinking of doing a temporary color change (either a wrap or dip) until I can splurge and do a full color change with glass out, door jambs, and engine bay.
