I dig the matte on the taillights and it's not something I would normally like. I like how 5Axis it does does their cars. Not a fan of smoking the headlights but that's just me.

tC wheels will not fit, iQ's are 4x100. tC's are 5x100 or 5x114.3:

That's pretty cool. I know people have been wondering how to do that since the Five Axis tC2 appeared.

I like it. I was wondering how the clear PlastiDip would look. I've been using the black stuff for a long time.

How many coats is that?

Been thinking of putting the smokes on my silver rims to darken it, the gunmetal seems too dark for my taste since my car is magnetic grey.

(you can see my post and photo of my rims here
