I'm usually not a fan of plastidip on tails - because the people doing them usually spray them so dark that the light doesnt shine through ENOUGH to be safe... But the wheels look beast!

Have you thought of spraying tails with glossifier to give it more of an tint look instead of a plastidip matte look?

BTW - Whats the front fender mod you have on the front of your car? For the tabs

Tried the glossifier and it was still kinda matte so just bought some clear coat for that but left it matte for now, will redo them maybe next weekend will actually pull the tail lights out for that... But yes the wheels came out amazing! And I did the JDM fasteners from Password JDM basically shaved the whole bumper tab off, drilled some holes and bolted right on just be careful when drilling there's no coming back from that...

So found out on powder coating tomorrow will get the final price and will prob get it done mid next month... But for now will just leave them as is maybe redip them since I scratched a little off one today when washing it... And as far as the tail lights yeah will post up some pics once I redo them with a couple coats of clear coat
