Thinking about doing some mods to my ATS

[PimpHandStrong]

So this is it currently

I want to get some new wheels or plasti-dip these in gunmetal or anthracite gray like this (also the chrome trim on the doors, the grille, and door handles.)

Also I'm thinking the brake calipers red to match the interior. I love to the look of this CTS V

What do yall think? I want to get a flash tune also soon. I've been reading Diablo Sports has developed one that isn't detectable by the dealer. Probably some springs too to drop a little.

what % tint you got on the fronts right now?

I'm at about 32% I believe. Just legal here in Florida. I would've liked lower but I don't need them boys harassing me.

Man, that looks really good. I went to a motorcyle racing event and they had a ATS out there with some chrome grills and trim on it from the dealership that looked really good. It was also painted a crimson color that I had never seen before and it looked really good. I wish I had some pictures but what you posted looks good.

Yea that was probably the Crimson Special Edition, it also comes with the Aero package.

Yeah, that was it. It looked nice. I was like, now if they can get that in the ATS-V, that would be awesome. The whole car sits really nice and I was surprised. My mother wants to get an XTS, but I know she's not hearing getting that VSport. I would have loved to taken that out for a spin.

I tried that plastic-dip mess,,,,it's a fail. Attracts way too much dirt. Take your rims to a good powdercoat shop.

Have you tried on any other part of the car?

Used it on the spoiler. Nothing beats high-quality paint on the body and powercoating on moving parts. In my opinion.

I scraped my front driver side wheel

Y'all think this is repairable?

My failed 1st attempt at plasti dip

Too much buildup in certain areas so I had to take it off. Colors looks dope though.

fukk the rim. What about the tire?

The tire sidewall got a small piece of rubber tore but nothing that affects performance. These run flat tires are shyt anyway. I'm counting down to when I get rid of them.

Of course it is, thats nothing drastic, you should see mine Should run you like $100-150

You gotta shake that can up & spray from the correct distance. When I did mine I sprayed from too far so the texture was rough as fukk & had alot of build up.

Any shop you can recommend here in Miami?


I'm going to watch those dip your car videos again before I try again. I'm sure I was spraying in one area too long. Need some new tires before I try again though.
