Lol. Thanks. And my new tires are Y rated so I can definitely go 186mph+ now.

Sweet! Yeah, after I got my tune (I requested the speed increase when I got it) I checked and my speed limiter has been increased.

On a different topic, is your rear painted black or plastidipped black? I attempted to plastidip mine today likes yours and failed. Peeling off my tape took chunks out of the dip. So the only part that still has dip is the area where the bowtie used to be.

I have the same problem anytime I use plastidip I've given up on it

Everyone makes it look so easy.. The only thing I've successfully done is my front bowtie and taillight bezels. I can't imagine doing the whole car

When you spray plastidip and you are using tape around it to get straight lines, you actually have to do the opposite of paint. With paint, you let it dry and then remove the tape and bam, you have your nice lines. With plastidip, you actually have to remove the tape before the plastidip dries or you'll have your plastidip come up with it.

I tend to do that quite a bit.

edit: seems you beat me this time.

It's painted. When you paint it, paint away from the tape for the first few coats, then spray around the edges last and pull the tape up right away.

Did you pay a shop to paint it or did you do it? I'd like to just have it painted in the future But I will attempt to plastidip it again until I can swing the money.

What about doing vinyl?

When you do it, could you post pictures if possible? I see you have a cgm and I wanted to see if it would be noticeable because I really like the rear blackout too

The previous owner had vinyl around the rear bowtie, but I peeled it off cause it wasn't a perfect fit, I'll post a picture of what my plastdip looks like right now in the morning.. And when I redo the whole panel correctly I'll post another one.
