Default Got the top of the car wrapped and did some plastidip

I have been wanting to do this for awhile and finally got in done after the sc install. The targa top and halo were silver and and I wanted gloss black. I also did the front licence plate mod for more air and did the bottom and fog light areas in black plastidip. I will gloss those later. I had Elijah from Diamond Detail in Albuquerque do it. he does amazing work and is very meticulous... What do you think?

before..


all after














here is the front plasti dipped with screen mod

Looks great, especially with the black rims

I've been thinking about having the halo on mine done the same (silver car as well, except chrome wheels). I have mixed feelings about how it'd look with the top off though.

Love the "all black" greenhouse - looking forward to seeing your pic(s) with the targa panel off. I've toyed with this on and off - maybe this will put me over the edge

With that halo wrapped the car appears so much lower.
