Tried plasti-dipping some parts myself. The diffuser and front splitter turned out ok. Gotta redo the grille, too much over spray. Just take your time, and you'll get good results.

Lightly tinted tails

Anyone good at Vinyl??
I need some advice on getting over the sharp edge on our tail lights. They look slightly lighter in person like the old E55 amg. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks

They are amazing wheels in my opinion. I have received a few compliments on the wheels. The only thing that I get asked a lot about, is why I don't paint the calipers red as the car is missing some flare.

Ended up getting the wheels (forgot to post until now) LOL
Looks decent, fit is super close with the fronts having about ~5mm clearance from the suspension.
Have Pirelli sottozero 3 winter tires mounted.
