Not a fan of the color (too bright IMHO), but the execution is great! I currently dip my rims and have been contemplating dipping the whole car for fun. Do you need to change your registration if the color of the car changes? Just wondering what happens if you get pulled over. Serious question since I'm ignorant about that detail. If I dip the whole car, just don't want to have to peel off my hours of work bc it doesn't match up to my reg.

I don't think you need to change the registration, the dudes over at Dipped NYC said they've been pulled over numerous times (not for the color) and the cops never mentioned the color.

Also it is a temporary change, no different than vinyl wrapping and I don't think wrapped cars get their registration changed. Your door jambs will still be the oem color and you could always show the LEO that if they ask.

Your car, your choice. If I saw it on the road I'd ask myself "Why?"

To complete the look I think this ride needs a nice set of custom mud flaps

Come on everyone. Lets not beat the guy up for doing something different.

Takes bawls to do what he did, pull it off, and make it look half way decent.

Even if you don't like it, ya gotta give props to him for trying something out of the norm.

had people blown away by it all day, already got 3 people scheduling full jobs worked like i planned.

And thanks Rad_slinger for being one of the few open minded people on this forum. It seriously blows my mind how some people on here think only 1 way to do things is the "right" way in a totally subjective area such as car mods.

Funny how all of the people on this forum who actually do have amazingly modded cars are either staying out of it or showing their support for the job. If you have a stock car especially, you have no business throwing insults.

If you dislike it, say you dislike it. Heck, go ahead and say you hate it or you think it's ugly, but if you're gonna go ahead and get pissed over it and start throwing insults, well then, smd

C'mon Jesse, just busting your chops. I think you actually did a nice job and it looks like it was not an easy job....nice job dude, keep it up.

anyways, why did you pick that particular color, did you have any other choices ?

Thanks lol

There were a lot of options however I needed something that stands out but not TOO much. My other car is fluorescent orange and although it stands out, it brings too much attention and people usually don't ask me about it because it's a honda.

Been responding to comments and having people ask me about the blue G all day long, it feels like a full time job. Only other color I was thinking about was lime green. In a few months when I'm done standing out I'm probably gonna give matte black a try

Lol it's his car, let him do whatever he wants. I like it, the only reason I like it because it's only TEMPORARY. I mean personally, if I get bored of my OEM color, i'd love to change the color. why the hell not? Good job my dude, try lime green!

Thanks man, might try lime green or matte black next. I think lime green looks better on audis though.

If you're trying to market your company/business this is a pretty good idea to spread the message relatively quickly. I have a local powder coater who drives around with 4 different highlighter coloured rims and 4 different rims on his roof rack, his other car is a multi coloured C60 showing off his extensive powder coating capabilities. If people don't like it you can tell them its 100% removable etc., and educate them on the uses of plastidip. To each their own, OP you have to realize that even bad criticizim should be taken in a positive way. Its hard to Keep everyone happy but lashing out on members will only worsen your reputation on this forum.
