Perfect example of how to make a beautiful car look terrible. It doesn't need any of these changes, it just needs silver wheels.

Black out the exhaust tips to complete the no chrome look, I did it on my current car...Looks stealthy...Yes it's a Honda, but I do it on all my rides.

Keep in mind, the Blackout treatment is a statement that your car is not just an ordinary car (Clone) it's saying, I'm more of a performance vehicle + It's mean looking-->IMO!

And a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a piece of white bread and a glass of tepid water with it.

Agreed on the tips. I think black chrome would do as well. I'm also hoping the aftermarket comes up with some rear tail lights that have black accents or black housings for the tri-bar lamps. Not tinted lamps but actual black housings or accents and not those clear euro lamps either.

I noticed you blacked out the reflectors as well. Paint, decal or plasti-dip? Same question for your tips, what did you use to black them out and how is it holding up to the heat coming out the tips?

I removed the paint from the reflectors.

Plasti-Dip and after a year it's still on and looking like the day I did it.

You're welcome to your opinion and I appreciate it.
I would consider prefacing that by "IMHO", "in my opinion etc" instead of speaking like your word is absolute, this is not a numerical solution with a right or wrong answer, purely subjective :shrug:

So the plasti-dip is holding up on the tips after a year then? I'm tempted to try it on the Mustang tips unless I can find some gloss black ones aftermarket or maybe black chrome.

Same for the emblems on your Honda as well?

And now I see your plates the red ties in with the reflectors and tail lamps/lenses. Go Big Red huh? ;) And you have done as I have as well on my GTO, I notice your gloss black license plate surround. Its small touches like that that finish the look. I notice those things. Thanks for sharing.

^^^^ ROFL!! Or a gray Mustang (like the sea of gray, silver, white cars out here in Seattle), ideally one that becomes invisible on a rainy day. Complemented with options carefully selected by extensive analysis to maintain the highest resale value. Finished off with a wheel set carefully selected by a committee of introverts.

I think I will do black tips as well to go with the black roof and mirrors. Good suggestion

Yes, all P-Ded areas I've done a year ago are still looking good & if they give out I'll just re-do till my LE gets in.

Go Big Red (Huskers) is why I went with Red Emblem on the front.

Since this is a Mustang Forum this will be my last pics of a Honda...

Husker I really like how that looks man. Have you tried to take off the dip at any point since applying? I'm curious considering the various heating/cooling cycles how it may effect removing it.

TY is my number 1 color choice and I thought some subtle black contrasts would really make the car pop! This is a great start imo.

I'm still not sure if two black stripes like posted would look best or if doing the heat extractors black and some other type of black accent would be better.

I've removed it in the past on other vehicles. For the tips I needed a power-washer on other parts it comes right off.

If you wanna learn about PD, these guys sell it and have all kinds of instructional videos

I had Plasti Dip on my Eclipse wheels (inside and outside) for about a year and a half starting in April through October. It held up perfectly through two Florida summers and a 'winter' (low 30's lol). No issues with washing it with soap and water (not pressure washer, just hose). It even protected the wheels from a few harsh rock chips. Just make sure if you ever use the stuff, apply many layers. When you think you have enough, apply one or two more. The thicker it is, the easier it is to peel off afterwards. There were spots on my wheels where it was very thin and holy crap did that take forever to remove. I had to bust out the GooGone and dissolve it into goop. Made a huge mess. But the thick parts peeled off like shrink wrap.
I know wheels don't get quite as hot as exhaust tips, but hope it helps get an idea of the durability.
