I like it. Something about the wheels doesn't sit well with me. Not sure if it's the size or the writing on the tires.

Can't put my finger on it. But still loks good.

And my my man up top said. Those inners need to be red too!

What was your experience with the dip? I've been planning on dipping my car Anthracite this summer. I've watched most of the videos on dipyourcar.com and have talked a good deal with a guy I know who has a dipped FD3S (pic below). Sounds like it'll actually be fun to do.

What did you learn, during the process, that you think someone else might want to know for their first time dipping an entire car?

Definitely liking the RX-7!! It reminds me of Midnight Purple II from the R34's... kinda/sorta.

I was planning on plastidipping my car but decided not to do it but now seeing this GS I would definitely do the black. This came out real nice. Good job!

Not a fan of Plastidipped cars but for some reason it looks killer on your GS. Nice job! Everything flows great! Love how you kept the taillights red

Woah... I could never Plasti dip a car, to me it's like wearing replica designer clothes... And I'm not a fan of cheap mods but I will admit... You can not tell its plasti dipped and looks very very LEGIT, did you use a gun? Or did u rattle can it? I'm guessing u used a gun because it looks flawless with with no drips or uneven spots
