It all started with wanting to get a set of wheels.  I was washing the brake dust off the wheels one day and thought they looked better darker.  Without dropping $$$ on wheels I figured I would plastidip the wheels anthracite and see how it would look that way I could peel it off.  Well...then I was like...maybe I should tint the windows...done.  Now I'm thinking the grill needs to be blacked out also...it never ends:

Interested to see how it holds up!  I have really been tempted to try the wheels on my truck.  And it is certainly a good way to do it, just in case you don't like it.  But I also don't want them to look like crap after a week...

Sadly it is the wife's car, so I can't go too crazy on it...just a simple tune for now.

So far, it's been just over a month and I've washed the car three times.  Seems to be holding up well.  It did what I wanted so anything else is a win until I find what wheels I want permanently.
