    Was playing around with some plasti dip today and did my rear clubsport badge and one of the side 'R8' badges. I love how the clubsport badge came out but wasnt too impressed with the R8 one, thinking about just doing the clubsport badges on my side skirts and leaving the R8 badges on sides and back an the '255 LS1' badge silver? Reckon it looks out of place with the single black badge? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1366703619.493110.jpg

    Which half is dipped? The R or the 8? I'm guessing the 8.... I think the R looks pretty bad...

    None of that r8 badge is dipped. I did one of the ones under the side indicator but ripped it off cause I hated it haha

    Still playing around with plasti dip.. Done the badges and bumper inserts.

    Can't bring myself to do the wheels... Luckily I scored some free VT R8 18s the other day so ill probably paint them black and whack them on for a while to see what the black wheels look like..

    Let me know what ya think :)

    Yeah the pentagons are 20s, but I bought them brand new and they're genuine and mint so I'm scared to paint them haha..

    Yeah don't paint the pentagons man. Paint the r8's since you got them for free.

    Picked up some pacemaker 4-1s for the clubby. Got them off a mate thats just turbo'd his vx clubby so obviously didnt need these anymore.
    Giving them a cleanup and a fresh coat of paint and will probably put them in Saturday after work.
    The crawl to 300rwkw has begun haha. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367915285.168526.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367915297.279757.jpg

    Anyone wanna buy some gts 20s? Haha ImageUploadedByTapatalk1368245003.187278.jpg
