P-dip does allow you to easily try a new look and if it's something you like then just tear it off and then do it for real w/ paint or vinyl. IMO you should either lose a bit of the black or lose the rest of your chrome. I've got a DIY for vinyl wrapping your window trim, and if you went w/ the black wrap on the roof it would be a good look IMO (but only if you promise to get those wheels powder coated (when you're not spending so much $$$ on diapers)
Oh, and just keep in mind, not everyone is going to like what you've done, but if you like it then
Here's that DIY link

Nothing wrong w/ having priorities, especially one's that tend to take up a lot of your time & unexpected expenses. I must confess I Plasitdipped a grill & that back chrome trunk lip, but quickly decided I didn't care for the texture and the grill was hard to get the water spots off, and trying to use a microfiber towel on the stuff is like using velcro Something about a completely smooth car finish w/ rubbery & rough trim just seems to detract rather than enhance.

I really like the look of the car now with the dark rims. I know I want to get them powder coated for sure! I am just trying out some different visual mods for now on the G... I came over here from My350z.com when I sold my Black 06 350z...for the baby. Everything I did on the Z was performance

Doesn't matter what others say. I've got a 15 month old and know the drill. Not like I can't afford the more expensive stuff but why limit my wallet when I have other things I'd like to do for my kid. Like opening a CD or investments for education? He isn't going to care about my cars 18 years later but he sure will appreciate the 100K in an account for school.

Tough crowd over here
At least OP is trying various things to make his G his own, and although it's not always a home run, most of what he's done is easy to remove should he try something different. Agree about the lower front bumper accent, looks a bit out of place, but once he powdercoats his wheels should be a much better overall look. I would also paint the tailights, it's a simple DIY and looks much better than a solid smoke or a vinyl overlay. Here's an easy DIY should you give it a try~

And also a simple vinyl trim wrap if your painted trim ever flakes or peels

I did have a lot of plasti dip on my car at first. I think it's a really great way to try out different ideas. I've removed almost everything, but the wheels. Slowly replacing the dip with paint of vinyl if I like the look. My next projects are gloss black vinyl roof, and window trim. I appreciate the positive comments. The pics don't do the front end justice. I need to take more pics in better lighting. I personally find it greatly enhances the aggressive look of the front end, a lot like the popular front lip mod does for the car as well.
Like I said before, I'm just having lots of fun trying different looks on the car, since the last car was all performance mods. Only visual thing I did to my 350z was replace the orange reflectors with clear ones.
What I don't understand is why some people who members of a car enthusiast website seem to want the car to look as close to stock as possible? Are all yall haters out there telling me you're tracking your car every weekend and haven't dropped a dime on visual mods, except some million dollar Vossens or Volks....? I know some people have expensive taste but come on, Just because some mods cost less doesn't mean they don't enhance the look.
