I say no plastidip IMO. Just doesn't leave the quality finish paint does. I say lower the car, would also make a dramatic difference.

* Lower
* Tint
* No front plate
* Paint Headlights

paint the grill
throw on an intake for some go
some wheels for show

Raul that pic is HELLA low, i lower my g37x on bc coilovers, just enough to eliminate the gap, but my tire isnt tucked under the fender like that. You can alway just try plastic dip and remove it if you dont like it, its like 40 bucks for enough cans to do all the weeks

wow props on the photoshop skillz lol. i would be doing paint over the plastidip (if i dont go for a flat look). unfortunately we have to have a front plate here in BC. the other three recommendations are in the works...but one thing at a time at the moment haha.

I see... the Plasti-Dip bug has bit you.

So you're plan it so Plasti-Dip your wheels and shoot it with spray paint on top of that? Never sen it done but I'd like to see the results.

black rims, grill and tint is the "norm".

I'd go with gunmetal rims, black headlights, and dark tint. Don't forget the drop and spacers.
