I have an addiction...

daTS

Hokay so those that know me know that I love cars. I love my car. It's my favorite. Ever. <3

Anywho, I discovered PlastiDip recently. Then this happened (see attached image). I found a beautiful Graphite color with a silver flake. I've already done the grille split, grille cross and the mirrors. I need another can so I can do the hood vinyl and the spoiler. Smile

Guys, I have an addiction problem. I'm addicted to painting my car.

PS: Please ignore the blue painting tape I left on it #Tongue

Nooooo! Not the PT Cruiser!

Then again, you've had that thing for ages. I know you really don't want to finance a car (especially with your student loans and such), but if you come to TX soon, I got a hookup #Tongue

I paid $2500 for it, and got almost exactly 2.5 years out of it.
Drove to & through 17 states and no doubt tens of thousands of miles.

Truth was, I never liked the cruiser, but it got me where I needed to go #Tongue

And, since it was cheap fix I was able to pay off my student loans a few months ago!

Anyways I'mma stop trying to steal your thread with my pity party.
Thassa pretty nice custom job you've done there

I feel like my avatar is going to become the next thumbs up meme for this site. #Tongue

The dash panel is mostly carbon fiber, 4star, although it's already got red in it.

TB, You're good. It's in the offtopic subforum for a reason. Seriously though, I got a good hookup for you if you need to get a good used car from a reputable dealer here in NTX.

Surely we don't throw enough memes around.

Black/Carbon Fiber side skirts then; I'd say a black stripe on the side, but I think that would just look stupid.

Otherwise, real nice looking car you have there, I'm sure you put a lot of time into it; I mean it's not even dusty anymore #Tongue

thanks, but there's no way I could make it to NTX from South Georgia, at least not anytime soon!

4Star, actually I'm considering a carbon fiber chin spoiler and side skirt. The skirts will probably be modified stock ones, with a carbon splitter mounted beneath them for a lower setting.

The chin spoiler I found looks great!

I feel like there should be a civilian vehicle in TI that has an .shp of your car.

It should be called DaTS's Addiction.

Wouldn't be the first time someone voxeled a DaTS car #Tongue

I made the Escalade all those years ago, but now I can't find it anywhere
