Plasti-dipped A-Pillars
 

What do you guys think? I decided to try it out with plasti-dip before I went to go get it painted. I'm 100% sure I'm going to do it. It makes the car look sleeker and more like the GT-R roofline.

I kinda did a half-a$$ job on the plasti-dip. I just wanted to get the idea for it.

1st picture looks GTRish. But where the A pillar meets the hood makes it look off.

You should try blacking out the roof and the horizontal half of the A pillar. That'll look interesting.

Yah, let's remove that. :icon17:

I wanted something like that, but with the Seibon CF part. You guys are right, the part the meets the hood doesn't flow well. I photoshopped some pictures, and the end result wasn't pretty. If the A pillar went underneath the hood, then it might look better.

Yea I was thinking that as well. I think the A pillar looks great blacked out. I'm going to get it painted like this. I'll try making it flow with the hood but bringing it along with the windshield where it meets the hood. But honestly, I think it flows well how it is with the design of the whole car. It gives it an "edgy" look.

And God entered the Z forum and said, "Let there be plasti-dip." This stuff is blowing up.

And I agree with the others. It looks fantastic but it's hard to make a good cut-off line due to how the A pillar meets the hood.

if the hood was carbon, then it might work. I was thinking of trying this but taping off a line so the black doesn't flow down to the hood area.

Here's my idea of a possible way to tie the A pillars into the hood:

With the way the A pillar hits the hood, it doesn't look right. You'd have to do what christian suggested for it to look decent. You should mask off the hood and fender and spray the plasti dip just like he photoshopped.

Thats a little too much for me. I'm just going to repsray it and just equal it off with the windshield.

black the roof.

In for pics. Good luck :tup:

Do a plasti-dip mockup of that idea. :tup:

I want to do something different. Everyone does the roof. Almost done with it a different way. I'm going to try another way after this one I think. But I will post pics regardless.

maybe get a CF hood and have the a-pillars wrapped in glossy (real) CF? :confused:

although that hood striping does make it a lot more fluid.
