Looks good! I sprayed my daily's wheels about a year back, and they've held up really well. Just had a flat repaired, and that messed one up a little, but I think a quick touch-up will even fix that.

I have the ram air section of my hood plasti-dipped black, but I think I'm going to remove it and re-do it with the black, metalizer, and glossifier.

Looks awesome!I love Plasti-dip. After seeing how great that looks you should consider powder coating them in the future! Sharp car man

Curious how you got the plasti off just the lip part? Did you tape it prior to make your line?

I tried plasti dipping my tt2s and that **** just did not want to go on evenly. Any tricks? It either wasn't going on thick enough or going on way too thick and running/bubbling. I'm not bad at spray painting things by any means either but the consistency of that stuff was awful.

That looks really good and I'm not a fan of the TT wheels. Definitely get them powdercoated!
