I got rid of my '05 Flint Mica and jumped on the Cement bandwagon.

After a 3 week wait I got my Cement Manual tC. I got the spoiler, TRD rims and upgraded touch screen stereo. Such a badass looking car. So many of the dealership employees were commenting on how the rims make the car look so much cooler. Now on to the upgrading.

 

Welcome to the cements. The car looks nice

 

Here is mine:

 

is the rear diffuser blacked out? If so, did they just use vinyl?

 

i see u have the 5 axis also how much did u drop it???and what did u use

 

Yea, it's blacked out by vinyl. i got the idea from rs7

i'm using s-tech, f1.5" r1.8". installed a week ago

 

Love the color!

 

anyone seen a gold wheel on cement? i was thinking of trying the gold metallizer plasti dip on my factory wheels.

 

I havent but think it would look ok try it and if you dont you can just peel it off, idk what color to go with iv only seen silver, black, and the hyper black. Id like to do something different.

 

Speaking of plasti dip...how do you think this would look on a 2012 cement?? Plasti dip the portion of the front bumper below the lower grill, the stock 18's, the stock spoiler, and maybe even the mirrors. Plasti dip in all black that is.

Also the windows tinted as well...

 

iv been thinking of doing the front bumper myself but still unsure on the color scheme i want to go... but i think it would all look alright except i wouldnt do the spoiler leave that cement.

 

Yeah i like how the black sits with the cement color...i've seen pics of the rs7.0 with a black spoiler and thought the cement with the same scheme would look alright.

Kinda like this:

Yea iv seen that one but IMO im not a fan of it i think it just looks like you bought a spoiler and didnt have the money to get it painted.

 

Heres my cement with plasti dipped lower lip


If you do it, tape it off, shoot one real thick coat working toward the tape from the center first, then peel the tape quick, otherwise the plastidip will stick to the tape and you will have to do it over.

 

has anyone seen this duraflex kit? it looks amazing

How many coats of plasti dip did you use on the lower lip??

 

Do one real thick coat working toward the tape from the center first, then peel the tape quick, otherwise the plastidip will stick to the tape and you will have to do it over.

 

Most people i see start with thinner coats and then do thicker coats..will just doing one thick coat have an effect when going to remove it later down the road??

 

It shouldn't. I did it one coat and then had to remove it after it dried because I waited too long and it had stuck to the paint. Also, when you have overspray you just rub it with your fingers and it comes off, and thats way thinner than one coat so you will be fine. Just do one thick coat from about 5 inches away and keep the can moving. Don't stay one spot too long and get it almost wet looking.

 

I tried to Plastidip the rear real quick after work. I will probably do it again to get it just right, but I need to find a masking tape that is flexible enough to make smooth curves. Any suggestions?
