Car has not been used much the last few weeks. Last weekend I plasti dipped my H emblems and this coming weekend I will be taking the car on a 750 mile road trip with about 20 other S2000's. Wake the Devil 2012. I will have a lot of pictures to post after that journey.
I have a few other pictures to post but here is an iphone snap of the finished product.

Plasti dip was extremely easy to use. I ended up doing 4 coats. I like the look but was a little unhappy that the OEM CR emblems are a matte/satin black and the plasti dip is more of a flat. I used some Adam's In and Out detail spray and that gave the flat looking H emblems a bit more gloss and shiny look. They do actually match the OEM CR emblems a little more now.

Just plastidip the CR emblems too. Everything will match perfectly.

I thought about that as well. Might have to do it. You can only tell they are off slightly when up close...but that is enough to bug me

Thank you. I was hoping for a pristine car and it wasnt that. I am super picky so for me it was in "rough shape". Might have been a dream car for some, but for me I needed to put a lot of elbow grease into it. I dont have good before and after photos of the car, but believe me it has come a long way!

Adam another thing some have done is spray a clear coat over the plastidip. You could buy like a satin or semi gloss clear and do that but you would have to replastidip everything and then peel the extra off after applying the clear. Hope that makes sense.
