Oops I Dipp'd It Again!

As some of you know I dipp’d my air vents front grills including the space between the two, and did the factory front lip. Sometimes good just isn’t good enough…

We did not dip the wheels, we touched the rims and hubs up with black spray paint.

Fixed up every knick and scratch we saw from previous dip, and have not applied clear coat yet. Next, I would like to dip my mirrors, I would also like to dip my gas door but my husband doesn’t think that’s a great idea.

What do you think?
Opinions welcome as well!

Looks great!

Thank You (: was done in like 3 hrs, I had help though lol

Looks great. The bare steel wheels look much better without those awe-full hubcaps!!!put those in the bin(trash can) asap!!!! Save up for some black wheels.

Dipping is great!! The gas tank is never a bad idea! I have done mine and it turned out pretty good!

What's funny is I've often thought that the hubcaps are horrible, but I get daily comments on them, lol (now that they aren't all scratched to hell anymore) but yess! In need of new tires asapppppppp. I'm running with slicks in the front lol any rims you'd recommend? I'd appreciate a link! (:

I think I've seen your tank! (: like I told him, its dip so if its too rice we'll just rip it off. Aha
Thanks for backing me up though! I thought of the door handles as well, but others don't love my car like I do, so I can't imagine it lasting long at all right there.

not a dip fan anymore, after dipping the grille and spending about 5 hours trying to undip it, wasn't fun...I'm rolling around dip free now

Why did you undip? Why was it hard?? :O

If you are lookin for cool rims just go to tire rack.com, they will show you what's compatible.. If you wanna go wide look up 949racing or nlmotoring (xxr wheels). Both are fair prices

cause I was driving 120 miles a day round trip and from the months of july-october it's locust season. I think I've ran over 6,000 of them just in those months. required a lot of touchup and when I decided it was time for my once a year full service wax job I took it all off the front bumper. though the grille is impossible to get it all out of. the grille and all the other black trim pieces got a fresh coat of satin black spray paint to bring them back to life. Only thing I got dipped now is the piece on the hatch that the emblem was on. Dip is only there because I took the emblem off, sprayed the goo gone on it to get the sticky **** off and then forgot about it and went to dinner with the family and the goo gone ate the paint.

Omg the bugs!:disgust: that's just awful... I'm sorry your dip experience didn't work out :( that sucks about your paint... When you have a bad experience it just seems like it never ends.. Well I hope the dip does justice and doesn't give you too much hassle where you have to have it.

Wheel suggestions...well I got my 15" enkies for $300, new after trading my old fake Pegasus Vip style wheels to the shop as well. I just had my old tires put on them. It was a cheap upgrade (and actually the most expensive upgrade to date) If I would do it again I would consider 16" or 17" but I'm happy enough with what I've got. You're car looks cool so far...good luck.

sweet looking projectors
