G-RELL's Full PLasti Dip & Others

Wife's out of the country this week so I think I'll have her car and side of the garage to paint... pics soon
My own little plasti-dip experiment. I have been debating on painting my wheels white. Was not sure about it. So I plasti-dip the driverside wheels. I have decided to paint the wheels white to match my TBSS.

you thing about just doing the lip...rim spokes black?
Tinting the windows. B & C pillars getting wrapped black. Wheels getting painted Summit White. Tomorrow, lowering the rear end 2 inches & the front end 1 inch. Starting on the stereo install tomorrow. Trying to have it done before summer arrives.

we have a couple TBSS's around here... they're f'in nice.
Most TBSS owners the exact same mods and colors. Black wheels, debadge, lower, exhaust, CAI done. Repeat, repeat, repeat, etc..... To think outside the box, it's not accepted. You should have seen the comments, when I posted pics of the white wheels...lol.... Several suggested gunmetal or black. They already are black..lol... Lot of negative feedback. Until an OG member posted up liking it. Turns out, he got sick of the black wheels too. Plasti-dip his chrome wheels white. He is one of a handful that have chrome wheels. Once I got his "blessing". They have backed off on the negative feedback.

You are right on that one, all TBSS around Chicago are all blacked out and almost all of them look the same, it is rare to see a white one like yours, its a shame that you need approval of another person for everyone else to like them, I personally think they look good white 
I never have been the type of person to follow every else. I have always thought outside the box. I got the same "hater" reaction from the Chevy Beretta community. Yes, I did say Chevy Beretta community. I think they were the worst group. Changing the exterior was "off limits". EVERY Beretta was to be stock looking. PERIOD. Not up for debate. It was performance mods ONLY. Unless you were doing a GTZ or Z26 clone. Took me years for them to accept me. Like I gave a chit....lol.... I do what I do. Love it or leave it...lol

sounds awful, I dont think I can live without modifying( interior and exterior) any vehicle that I own, as long as Im happy when I look back at my car then nothing else matters ( except compliments , i like compliments haha)
Don't we all. It's nice when someone acknowledges your hardworking and efforts.
BTW Dropped the Rearend of the TBSS 2 inches this morning. What you think white or black?
I am debating about saving the silver design and keeping some of the black in the center.

thats the best part of plastidip, you can change it everyday until you find the perfect winning combo, then pull it and have it permi-painted.

Havent updated in a while...So here a few summer projects done (and a few more to go hopefully):
In chronological order:
rescued a McLaren
Bought it previously damaged and partially fixed, had been epoxied, just needed to be leveled.
Dipped then cobrastar'ed
switched to black folding side mirrors (w/ LED mod done)
HID fogs - 1st Gen (still working on getting the 2nd gens retrofitted)
Bought these from a member here that already had them installed in the headrests... practically plug and play with my HU. even have leather covers to put over them to hide.
Then LS4Me's jag cover got me thinking about 1st gens...sure enough
after sanding, a lot of cutting and dip....I got this
right side (passenger) doesnt match up very well... but the overall look is good. You could make it perfect if you had the time.
To cap off everything...EBAY
Thank you to ALL the members here with your help and sales!
Still have 2ng gen headlights to be wired and installed (after a few more modifications )
and a project for all first gen owners hopefully soon! :shifty:

Awesome job man. The headrests are on point. I think a blacked lower grill would set off the new upper grill nicely.
Mirrors are good, did you paint or just buy black ones?
Engine cover looks good, too! Stock-esque.

thanks guys,
I've had the grill black in the past (pre-dip)... I 'll give it a try soon.
Mirrors were already black!
