Just so were all aware...we're now dipping the tails.
Non transparent material on need to be transparent lights
Makes sense. Fits this thread nicely.

I wouldn't do that before upgrading to a race clutch. You'll be ruining it in no time.

You have all seen my ride. You know its not a shitty looking job. Dip gets a bad rep because SO many people who think they know what they are doing use it and it looks like CRAP. Not many people actually spend the time on it. Its like vinyl wrap, or window tint. When you do it yourself it looks terrible. Take it to a professional or spend all the time doing it you want and then it will look good. No bubbles no scratches etc.

Honestly why I dont paint it is because I dont know what color to do. Dip costs me like 150ish and abour 3-4 hours of labor. Once I figure out the color, I will lay paint down. Im thinking the satin white that is on the Audo R8 spyder GT. But before I drop 4-7k on paint, I want to make sure its good. Like Matte black. It looks AWESOME on a Lambo, but like crap on a G35. Plus I do it right so I may not paint I dunno.

Also, if you compare ANYTHING to the a car that is clean like that it will look like crap. Like Blue Waffle's car, it looks better than most NEW cars.
