    That must have been a ton of masking to just dip the wheels and spoiler.  Did you use the factory tow hook in the front to do it?

      Solid "Meh" on the black from me.

      I don't like black wheels ever tho - so I'm biased.

        What do y'all think of my retro inspired black spoiler?

        I like it!

        those Fuchs TJ has would work really well with that look too.

          Masking wasn't bad really, I didn't mask anything in wheels other than the calipers, I just peeled it off the tires. Tow hook? For what?

          The wheels are temporary, I'll be getting 18" mesh wheels in the future, but they're also black so you won't like them either :)

          Thanks Bro-Chief, if those Fuchs were 18s I would have bought them instantly!

            Fuchs are gone.

            In other news, I bought my first Porsche. An 84 911 targa with 41k miles. Needs some work but I am excited!

              The common practice for dipping car parts or cars is to dip them in a vat appropriately sized for the item.  Since you did the wheels and the rear....thing....I assumed you had a car sized vat, masked off what you didn't want dipped and lifted the car into the vat with a crane hooked to the front tow point.

                My bad, should have been more specific, I plasti-dipped them like a poor person.

                          Wasn't for sale. It was sitting in a driveway in Waukesha covered for quite some time. Decided to go knock on the door to see if he'd sell it. Apparently he bought it this way 9 years ago and had all the parts to fix it but never got around to it.

                              Very cool.  Those can be worth some decent dollars!

                              Too bad the Z3 wasn't a coupe, I'd almost guarantee is sold.

                                Nice, did he give you a decent price or did he try to give you the air cooled tax that seems to be rising with every passing day?

                                  I looked up the definition of Dip, Dipped and Dipping.  You tell me.

                                    Tis a spray can, it's called Plasti-Dip so the cool kids often refer to it as "dipping" parts, even though it's a spray can.

                                      He was pretty easy to deal with and I am told by someone who knows these very well that I got a pretty good deal. I think it will be a great investment.
