Want to plastidip my entire car... 50% of the reason is for the look the other half is protection for winter
Ever since I saw this vid, I fell in love with the look

I came here to say I plastidipped my eyeballs so I didn't have to look at lime green wheels and black butthole disease anymore..
But you pretty much beat me to the punch in a sense.
Bravo
Plastidipped my dashcam to get rid of all the shiny silver or chrome buttons and trim. Tedious taping and X-acto knife work involved but overall very easy and completely reversible process. Dash cam is about as stealth as it can be while hiding out above my rear view.

How's the white dip holding up?
I'm thinking of doing the same, but I'm thinking they'd get noticeably dirty very quickly... I'm hoping I'm wrong

Thanks! I have 35% all the way around. It definitely looks darker in the pic than in real life.
I would add an APR badge on the right. I personally debadged it and kind of regret it. I think it's classy with the GTI sign, and if I had an APR tune I would definitely put the APR logo on the right. Just make sure it comes out perfect

I plastidipped my wheels white for about a month or two and it held up okay. I used glossifier as well. In my experience the wheels would get black from brake dust, dirt, etc. but when I went to clean the wheels it wouldn't come out 100% When I was driving it was unnoticeable but when looking at the wheels you could obviously tell they where plastidipped. Personally, I wouldn't plastidip my wheels unless it's for no more than a week.
Good to know. When you say it's obvious they're dipped.... do you mean because of the texture, or because of the way the grime stained the dip?
Wonder if black would be any better off.
I dipped my engine cover and coolant cap. it looked like crap. i redid it in krylon and it looks way better. i've also used it to touch up old wheels after i curbed them so it wouldn't show up as easily. i think it's good to do if you want to try out the look but most permanent options (painting, powdercoating) will look much better.

Also has no GTI badge kinda regretting it too, kinda want to show off the GTI name. Might opt for a apr badge on the right hatch down the line but at that crossroads of do i want to notify everyone around me whats done to my car or stay under the radar. Got a better chance of getting out of a ticket without stickers on the window, tuner badges etc. On the other hand, i really do enjoy the apr tune. :thumbsup:
