I'm getting the itch too. I've decided to keep my car for another yr at least so plasti dip is a gret economical way to change the look while saving up coin for the next ride 
I want to plasti dip my wheels also. Did you take your tires off? Was it difficult?

I love how you panted the lip on the front bumper. Adds so much to the stock bumper, but in a subtle way. What lip is that and who did you purchase from? Thanks!

What do you think? I think it might be just what I need to update in a subtle way, yet keep costs down. It addresses the main thing I don't like about the straight stock bumper and that is it doesn't look tall enough to me. By painting the lip it adds just a bit more height without really changing the overall look. What do you think?

I had my stock rims plastidipped for a while and I loved the aggressive look. Made the car look lower and the large sidewall/wheel gap less noticeable. I recently removed it and the car looks much classier, but I don't want to dish out $700 + $800 for a new set of wheels and quality tires.
I'll probably order some plastidip glossifier and see if glossy black would look better than matte black since my car is black and I don't really have any other matte stuff on my car.

Also in my opinion this car is close to perfect in my eyes. Needs a trunk lip and I would have kept the mercedes emblem on the grille
