Maybe it's because I'm a detailer and the thing that signifies beauty to me is reflection, I don't know, but like I said I really like his car.

So.... you don't like stock 1LE?

First thing I would do would be to take off the hood wrap.... I would put 1le badges on it, but I enjoy my extremely shiny hood too much lol.

I love the 1le though, excellent value.

I'm surprised because your wheels aren't shiny! I definitely wouldn't Chang the signature of the 1LE appearance! To much shiny can be distasteful! I definitely, wouldn't change the hood wrapped on the 14 1LE! Because that is one of the reasons why the 1LE is the best looking 14! To me! The 14's looks sweet with the 1LE package!

it took me about 3 hrs to do the gray and the blue. after the wash and degrease of the paint.

my tip would be not to be afraid. It is very easy to use, I had questions, even had a tare that needed fixing. The guys at Dipyourcar were very knowledgeable and helpful.

I had never used this product before, this was my first time. I am overly pleased with the results.

Really like that blue, actually just sent mine off to get dipped a custom
Color, hope it turns out that nice!

JCO2185 · 05-15-2014, 04:56 PM

Looks great. My buddy just plastidipped his car in a very similar color. Nice job!

Nope my wheels aren't gloss cleared, but they very shiny when freshly washed. If I had the wheels of my choice it would be the OEM ones, but those are way out of the price range lol.

I do agree that the 1le looks great. The '14 1le is one of my dream cars.

I also am considering matte black or CF hash marks for my car, I don't know yet though.
