Lowered and Plasti Dip Wheels!!

Well I plasti dip my wheels $5 a can at home depot. You can peel this stuff off if you dont like it either. I also lowered my car with the Canuck Motorsports Springs 1.0 front 1.5 rear drop i love the ride quality and look....I just finished today it still has a little settling to do.

What do you guys think???

I had mine dipped for about 4 months with my minor peeling. But when i got new tires i had to re-do them. The important thing to know is that it peels off basically in big peices. It just doesn't chip like paint.
