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

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.

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!!

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).

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
