I did the same as well. I first plasti dipped both badges fully, and then after a few weeks I decided to pull it off the chrome perimeter. A few days later I then decided to pull the rest off and replace with gloss vinyl. I like that look more than the matte plasti dip.
I also had the rear chrome strip below the badge plastidipped for a few days, and I liked the way it looked blacked out, but for some reason the texture of plasti dip was "fuzzy." I don't know what happened when I did that job, but maybe it had something to do with the heat and humidity at the time.
Anyway, after a few days it was back to chrome, but I really want it to be black again. One of these days I'll get adventurous and remove it, and then paint it gloss black. I'm just not a big fan of these big expanses of chrome.
I wish I could have your door handles...I used black vinyl on those to cover up the chrome as well.
Black sedans rock...keep the updates comin'.

Hell, I'll turn this into my update thread for find a job too, since finding a job will ultimately determine the fate of this build.
Sent a few emails this weekend for various PC technician positions, in hopes of staying in the same path I was in.
Applied for an internship at a local "alternative marketing" firm. Seems like I would be doing various office jobs and/or marketing via Twitter, Facebook, etc.
All in all, I sent about 15 emails with my resume, waiting to hear back from those.
If those fall through, I've pretty much been guaranteed another job. I won't give any details about that until/if I get it though.

Thanks for the support, guys.
I have a phone interview with a local PC tech this week, so we'll see how that goes.
My "fall back" job is still there as well, but as I said, I won't give any details about it unless I end up going for that one.
And on a side note:
I couldn't help myself. I've never been able to just put a build on hold. It will be slowed, but I'm still going.
I just ordered my amp kit from KnuKonceptz. I've always been a fan of them, and ran their wire in my old Blazer. The kit should be here Friday, but I have no idea when I'll be able to install. My Sonic is still in the shop...

Job Update
The local PC tech seems to have liked me, and said he'll give me a call at the beginning of next week with a decision.
Car Update
As I said in my other thread, the shop fuxxed it up AGAIN, so I still have no idea when I'll be getting her back.
However, my amp kit came in the mail today. I can almost feel the bass. It's been far too long.

Car Update
Finally spoke one-on-one with the owner of the shop. He expressed his concern, and "doesn't understand" how my car has "fallen through quality control" like it has. He has also "taken over the project" himself and will "see that it gets done right this time." He told me to plan on coming in tomorrow morning at 8 to check it out and pick it up, but also said if there are any problems tonight, that date may change.
I'm at my limit, my parents are still being patient, which really bothers me. They're basically letting this shop walk on them right now. I can't do anything, because the car is technically in my dad's name, even though I'm the one making payments, etc.
Anyway, I guess we'll see how she looks in the morning.
I think the plan for now it is STILL not good in the morning, we're going to take pictures documenting how it looks when they return it to us tomorrow, take her home, call the insurance company, and find a new shop that can actually handle fixing a car.

Alright, we finally got it back. The owner met us, and he seemed very concerned, and claimed to have let go their painter because of his recent work. I don't know how much truth there is to that, but I do know that he saw the work get done correctly this time, and is going to be giving us a customer satisfaction perk soon. I won't say what.
Anyway, I'm glad to finally have her back in the driveway, and I should have this audio stuff in soon.
