Just got done plastidipping KIMSaBEACH's tC today! This was the first time I ever used plastidip and I think I did a pretty decent job if I may say so myself! I did the side mirrors and the front lip of the bumper. I was debating wether to make it come straight down or angle it. I decided to angle it out and I think I made the right decision. My car COMING SOON!!!










My wifes phone takes freakin amazing pics... makes the tC on the right look better lol

that is actually pretty good for your first! =] my first time was crappy lol
i didn't have the vinyl tape like i do now lol i just hard lined it with straight tape so when i peel it off it took the plastidip with it...

lol my fiancee's phone takes better pics than mine too! haha
what kind of phone does yours have? mine have the iphone 4s

She has a motorolla razor m.... and for the plastidip coming off, IT DID THE SAME THING but I sprayed underneath the bumper as well so you cant see it. but what I did is acutally took my razor blade and just set it against the paint so it was blade towards tape so when I pulled didn't come off.

On mine im goint to plastidip the front bumper between the grills. I think im just going to keep my side mirrors the same rattle can gloss black.

oh ok i see... well if you lived by me i would've given you some vinly tape lol
it works really well, we use it at my work for painting parts that have two different colors for example like the sti rear bumpers where they have the bottom center of the bumper black, when use the vinyl tape to tape the edge of it that way it comes out like a fine line without cutting lol

oh ok so a Hitler stache kinda like thing? its gonna look dope!!

Next step is to wait for KIMSaBEACH wind deflectors to come in and on SUN. going to paint her rims Flat black!!!!

Sleeper_TC

pretty cool! i wish my chick was that simple!!! lol wanting the same things...
where did you get those deflectors from?!
im still debating on whether i should get them or not...

Alvinio87

I ordered them from the weathertech website at my dealership.... they are all inchannel. DON'T GET STICKY OUTSIDE MOUNT!!! they are cheesy and looks ugly. These just pop right in.

Its so much harder to plastidip 08 paint then 13 paint!!! my lines on my car arent as crisp... i need to clean it up.

Metalcoffin

Good job! Looks awesome! What color green is that on the wheels?

Alvinio87

The green is Dupli-color rattle can Grabber Green Engine Enamel... picked it up at O'riellys for like $6 a can I think. They had a purple that was really cool looking as well... thought about it for like 3 sec and said NOPE Ill do green!

Alvinio87

Installed my strup 4-1 header over the weekend. Im going to replace my two piece mid pipe w/ 1 resonator with my single mid pipe w/ 2 resonators to see if that helps the raspiness!!!!





I just installed the weathertech wind deflectors on KIMSaBEACH's tC.... ill take pics this weekend when we paint her rims black when its washed lol (there was a dust storm/light rain to make it rain clay).

Alvinio87

We finally installe KIMSaBEACH's wind deflectors, painted her rims black and installed the rear window visor!!! I was thinking of not plastidipping her rear bumper area.... still debating.







OMG... a rare shot of KIMSaBEACH... a very rare siting in photos lol

You are living my dream! I have a tC and want a 370Z soo bad. tC for a daily driver and the 370Z to actually go fast. Not too attracted to the orange on blue though. I personally want NISMO edition and in white to match my tC. Just my preference. Now all you need is a super model girlfriend to show your cars off and my dream is complete. It's up to you now; I'm living vicariously in your shoes!! lol j/k
