Hot damn that actually does look pretty nice. Only thing that would make it even better would be LED tail lights, and wouldn't you know it I have LEDs in my tail lights :P
I will try to stop by a kinkos tomorrow and get one printed out. I'm assuming you want it printed just on paper right? They don't print vinyl there I don't think?

Re: The wheels got Plasti Dipped.
I still think the plasti dip works better when done right. My wheels are literally brand new in terms of looks because of it. My car had some curb rash on the wheels since I got it back when it had 31k miles on it. I've never put any additional curb rash on it, but the plasti dip covered that right up and you can't even tell. Looks sooooooo pretty lol

Re: The wheels got Plasti Dipped.
I can personally vouch for the plasti dip working for edges because I had the inner trenches of each spoke dipped black before I went to the current anthracite gray full dip.
You just have to do it quickly, with only 4 minutes between coats if that, and then quickly peel the tape with a very fast motion.

Re: The wheels got Plasti Dipped.
I left it to dry too long the first couple of times, then got the hang of it. Now after doing it so many times on the wheels I can do it well. Next up is my dad's wheels, because he said he had some scratches on them and wants them sanded down and then plasti dipped as well. My mom's car might get the treatment as well just as a protective layer and whatnot.
