Plastidipped red lip Ive been away from the forums for the last year for school and have had no time for the car really. Needed a mental break today and I have always wondered how the full red lip would look so the only thing I could do quickly and temporarily was some plastidip and glossifier. I probably should have taken more care to prevent overspray tho but w.e. its rubber.

I guess I shall take better pics when the sun it out. My dilemma is that I have some curbing and the black centers are getting faded. So eventually I want to bring the whole wheel down to bare and fill in those little fake bolts and I want to have some sort of accent of red with either a flat or gloss black base. I like the way it looks with the red lip in person but Im not sure if Ill get tired of it or not so Im gonna live it out until the plastidip starts coming off.
I, too, think it could look good: https://ls1tech.com/forums/8446053-post4.html. Definitely take some better pictures, maybe add some tire shine beforehand.

I was looking at that viper but I couldnt find any f-bodies with full red lips, and ya tire shine will be on for next pics, didnt finish until after dark tonight. and those dammed fake *** bolts really throw the contrast equalization off. I might have to permanent marker them cuz they are a sore sight.

I think it looks better now that I have seen it in sun. Definately want to make this work but I think the whole center needs to be black to pull it off. No chrome bolts or center cap.

What would you think if I painted the centers red and had a black lip (with a possible tiny red pinstripe on the edge of the lip)?
