sucks, but a 5 Axis or Fabulous (rep) would look better.

Lol, my bad. I don't think I'll be letting the rear go. I've been in love with since it came out. You'll have to come up here and peel it off my car yourself

The five axis is nice, but tough to find these days. I don't recall it still being avail on carson. I try to avoid reps as much as I can so the fab rep is out. And fitment is what put me here in the first place. Llamaz car looks legit with the set up, so I'll follow that pattern. Sorry to copy, but it's the best form of flattery. I'm a llama rep lolz

Wow, surprised to hear they held up with minimal "chipping"! How difficult/easy was it to peel the plastidip off? And how dirty did they get with brake dust etc? (I remember a plastidip-lovin' CL member sprayed his wheels and decided to paint them instead because they looked yucky after a week or so.)

They were find. I haven't peeled anything yet. I'll wipe them off and put up some "after" pictures. The didn't have any dirt stuck on them at all. No brake dust or anything. I remember that member too. I had no trouble with mine, they still look great. They key thing with that stuff is letting it dry thoroughly. If you jump the gun, it's like a goop that will trap any dirt in comes in contact with. I'm satisfied with how it held up. Seriously considering doing the whole car next year
