Very nice looking. If i dont sell my white Gs. Ill probably make it completely white on black. Do you by any chance have more pics of your car?

It would look good to pain the exhaust tips the same color as the emblems. that would look sick in my opinion.

nice! my original plan was to get a white one and do the whole thing white/black theme i think it looks so good on white cars to have everything blacked out.

Me and you have very similar taste sir. I just ordered my plasti dip. Im doing the same thing you did but to a white gs. I have to redo the smoked out taillight because the last person that did that for me did a horrible job. I want to get rid of the chrome on the car as well.

nice def post some pics when you black it out, its going to look sick.
btw you can use the plasti dip on the front grill trim and the front logo and the head-light housings too in order to really get rid of all the chrome.
i had my window trim vinyl wrapped but you could do that with the plasti dip as well.

what i really wanted to do had i got a white GS was get a nice set of wheels (i was thinking about the ISS forged spyders) with gloss black face and the lip painted white.
i saw some pics of wheels with that color combo and they look amazing on white cars.

Soon as my plasti dip arrives ill get to work on everything. The thing is that was going to sell my GS because I live in the city and its a pain to maintain without scratches. If it does not sell soon then ill probably end up detailing it nice to get rid of scratches and rent a garage for it. Ill keep you updated with everything on the car. Doing the car in matte white plasti dip would look sick too and it would protect the pain from scratches too if i lay a thick coat. But im not sure if i want to do all that.

i didn't realize they did matte white plasti dip that would be sick.

i had considered wrapping the whole car in matte white, it looks freaking amazing but its pretty ridic expensive.

yeap, they definitely do! plastidipping your car's only about $120 if you provide the shooting gun.

http://www.dipyourcar.com/

They mix thinner and everything so it gives that TRUE matte look, instead of that thick coating.

I'm buying 2 gallons to plastidip my car white (so that it blends in with the silver as close as possible for future wheel setups and whatnot). I'll post pics up when it's done

that matte white audi with the black roof and accents is so freaking hot.
really sad that i love the color of my car so much cuz i've really wanted a matte white car for so long now.

maybe i'll do it to my A4....

oh man maybe i'll do some matte white accents on my ducati....what do you guys think about a matte/white on red ducati?
key is to figure out the best spots to accent the red with cuz right now i have a red and black theme going on with the duc.

reason why i'm doing it is because i'd like to protect my paint as much as possible ( I do highway runs with lots of bugs and rocks from semi-trucks..... unfortunately the car endures this for 4 hrs 2+ times a week!!)

Last time I had to spend approximately 6 hours detailing my own car due to so much damage from these highway runs.
