I think he was referring to completely plasti dipped exteriors which is more and more common lately.

Whatta we have for him Johnny?

Reason why I ask is because I did a search and my car is a DD and sees regular highway driving and my front end is getting pretty tore up, so I thought why not dip the whole car.

Don't worry, I'm sure we will see more as the IS-F resale value goes down.

"Look at my dipped 08 IS-F, yo, got it for 18k with rebuild title and 185k miles!"

I wouldn't bother looking at pics of a dipped car to judge what it looks like cause they look way different in person. I always thought pics looked so cool then I saw a dipped M3 in matte black and it looked absolutely terrible IMHO. If I were u I would hit a Cars & Coffee or any big car meet and u will def see a dipped car in person and then judge for urself.

Dipped cars: Either it turns out okay looking and not exciting.. or it'll look like complete trash.

Your dipped car looks amazing, I want to do it too!.. said no one ever lol.

Vinyl or paint is the way to go IMO.

There should be a thread called Top 3 Worst Things Seen On An F. My top 3 would be: 1.) Fully slammed and stanced 2.) Wrapping parts of car in fake carbon fiber like spoilers and roofs 3.) Chrome vinyl wrapping entire car

I like the way mine turned out but the matte looked cheap to me. I did get a lot of compliments but I peeled it all off in less than a week. It helped me appreciate the pretty red more
