But yes, it is all personal preference, and the majority of my friends into cars are also ******** and will make fun of anything on your car at any moment. We don't care much for feelings around here. Maybe some people have friends that baby them, mine don't.

If the owner likes it, who cares what other people think? I did some pretty crazy stuff to my wrx when I had it, and what other people said meant very little as long as I liked it. This guy obviously didn't like the flat black wheels. That's his choice, but to imply that wheels painted that color make the car look $15k cheaper is kind of an insult to anyone that has it done, no?

Example of stupid stuff I did because I was bored:

Some people actually liked it, I thought it was funny. It's just a car, people should lighten up.

Maybe to those of us who agree with the 15 grand comment, we don't believe we are driving "just a car". My opinion is that true motorheads take pride in their opinions about cars, be it their own or someone elses car. If you are driving a hoopty....maybe it's just a car...yes, but if you're driving a Z, it becomes more than that. I will say, however, I do agree with you on one point. If you don't like what I've done to my car, tell me, but for all intents and purposes, it's what I like and not what you like. Will I feel better if I get a

for my mod...hell yes. Will I feel

if I get a

on my mods...hell yes. But that's all what this game is about....and if at the end of the day, I'm happy...that's what matters most. Now excuse me, I'moff to ebay to buy a vortex gas saver for my 370z, I've heard you get some good gains off this thing AND you save gas!

How do you remove this stuff? I did my sport spoiler but spray pattern was uneven and looks bad and it's not peeling off in one piece.

mistermoe · 09-07-2011, 02:56 PM

does any1 have close up pics of inside the door handle with plasti dip? ie when you pull the handle

I just sprayed my rear windshield with "A7X" because I went to an Avenged Sevenfold show a few days ago and I peeled it off fine last night.

Yeah and if you do this you will want to get some Metal Polish to spray afterwards and it will wipe the WD40 right off.

Oddly enough, I was trying to touch up the area around the emblems with some adams detail spray, and I noticed the plastidip came off very easily. I am sure an equivilant detailer would strip that stuff just as easy. Just a tip for all the paint sissy's scared of putting harsh chemicals on the surface.
