looks ok, i think the plasti dip will come off easy when you go to wash the brake dust off but i may be wrong. think i woulda used a permanent black wheel paint myself.

Matte Black Paint Job... Gun Metal Rims... Tinted Eyes Lids and tails and darker tints. Black out the emblems. Im just talking at typing at this point. But yea I like the blacked out thing... I was very close to buying a CTS and doing this theme. Kinda get the Bat Mobile going (newer batman).

Looks pretty good.
How do you think it will hold up against chips from rocks?

so far so good. its been rainin non stop over here and still seem to be as good as when i sprayed it on but i might have to wait a couple of months to see if it holds up as good as they say it does.

I think a lighter tint on the tails would have been better but nice. And like i said, if you lose the seat covers and the little air freshener tree, the car will have much classier cleaner appearance
