plasti-dip rims and grill black 06 g35x sedan?

Hey guys,
I was thinking to plasti dip my rims and grill but I am not sure how it would look. The car is black so I think it would work but does anyone have any pictures of this on a black 05-06 g35?

You own a decent car, customize it the same.

Cheap = tacky
Proper way

You get what you pay for in life. In this case your $7 "paint job" will reflect just that.

From the cars that I've seen with plasti dip, some looked good and some looked bad. I feel like if you don't wash the car/rims every 2 days they will look dirty instead of a nice black color.

Thats probably the nature of the rubberized tool handle coating that looks dirty after being exposed to the elements daily. I've yet to see a set of rubber wheels that look good. Matte black can look good, gloss black can look good, textured back rubber doesn't.

That isn't a good picture to judge by, it doesnt show texture.
From 100ft it probably looks.

Gloss black grill will look so good on an OB G. I would go the same route for your wheels, bit I say no to plastic dip, get them powdercoated. Which wheel is it?

If you want a cheap alternative, just paint them yourself.

As with anything, if you are gonna do something, do it right or don't do it at all. You have a nice car, take some pride in your modifications.
