When I first Got it

When my window got smashed by some punks

When i was doing my exhaust dont mind the giant open holes thats been fixed by an exhaust dont worry.

Most recent one i have. Thoughts or comments on the bottem plastidipped strip, im in between on it to be honest.

Thanks for looking!

I like everything except the line at the bottom.

Welcome to the forums!

Tsukuba380GT · 07-04-2012, 09:18 PM

I actually readily like the dip line, its a simple easy way to make your car different

MattyG2012 · 07-04-2012, 09:39 PM

Thats what i was goin for. i had an idea to gloss black over the plastidip but not sure yet. also a front lip and rear diffuser would connect the line all around the car and make it look better.

Tsukuba380GT · 07-04-2012, 09:50 PM

hmm ive never seen anyone gloss over it, if it makes it permanent, i wouldnt do it, only because well, its permanent, but i agree, the diffuser and front lip would definitely bring it all together, good job man, i like it!

plastidip now makes a glossifier. but i'd take it off. that looks tacky.

Should be your avatar.

Personally, I don't care for that bottom strip. Honestly, I thought it was there for paint protection during your off road sessions. lol

Story on that broken window and broken teeth

That was the first idea actually and i was gonna peel it off after i was done that day but i figured it was alright so i left it to see how id feel about it.

Im digging the stripe man really breaks up the (IMO) monotony of a silver car.

je13 · 07-05-2012, 07:22 PM

I bet that is plasti dip strip attracts dirt like a mofo. Looks good though.

Howdy northern Neighbour. Welcome to the boards Matt, I'm in west Central Alberta with a Mountain View.

The punks that broke your window and took your iPod were probably from the grand city of Edmonton

AKA murder central Alberta.

How are the roads in Sherwood? If they are still taring and fixing pot holes you might leave the Plastidip on till they are done. At least take it down to the the rocker pannel level or bottom of the doors.

The glossifier would look good on your wheels and as protection for the sides. You and I know how chip happy they get in the winter time to curb icy roads in this Province. Every chip and crack I've gotten on my Windshields has happend between Sylvan Lake and Red Deer.

MattyG2012 · 07-07-2012, 01:20 PM

Hey Brucelee! ya roads in sherwood park are pretty bad. im gonna do some playing around with that strip to see what will look good. Any meets that i should know about comin this summer? Id like to hit up a couple. pm me

KSL Genesis Coupe Official Video - YouTube

this is how you should do the line at bottom IMO

brucelee · 07-07-2012, 09:28 PM

I haven't heard about meets myself, I work weekends so chances are that's when they will be anyway. Anyway my Silverstone has grown on me as the car itself is better than any other I've had, colour is just paint.

Slipin101 · 07-07-2012, 10:51 PM

dont like the painted sideskirt.

ZDD · 07-08-2012, 08:13 AM

Dip line doesn't look bad IMO, maybe going all the way around/thinner would look more clean?
