Let's go orange + Plast Dip (lots of pics)

Decided to change the theme color again of the car.

So far there has been black CF, red CF, red and black suede, and now orange CF.

While changing the interior i decided to plasti dip my wheels and paint my calipers orange as well.

Here are some pic of the plasti dip process for the chrome trim and window trim.

Since the interior was red i decided to go back to the red middle fin for the grille:

My iPhone got a little treatment as well while i was at it:

Made the shifter chrome trim black as well:

I removed the carbon fiber in red and decided to cover it in suede. Did the same for the door trim as well:

Very happy with the results. Plasti dip is an awesome product IMO and fun to play with.
Lots of credit to a good friend of mine for helping me out with all this work!
Let me know your thoughts

I've always thought red alcantara contrasted really well with black leather.

I find carbon fiber easier to apply. Suedi is thicker and harder to cut in order to make that perfect line

Red carbon fiber was my favorite while I had it!
Shift knob was custom done by a sponsor here! Me and Mikata got one! I believe it was the guys from formymercedes.com! They had a bunch of colors to chose from! Ill look into my old threads or email and let you know again!

That's cool that you do all your own work, but it all seem like lateral moves to me. TC
