Make Your Car Look More Aggressive!

If your car looks too dull, check this out.



Cars that come straight out of the factory tend to have a dull look to them. If you read my last blog post, you are aware that it seems car companies do not want you to have fun with your car! They limit its performance from the start and they make your car look harmless. If you're looking to make your car look more aggressive in a relatively cheap manner, take a look at some of my suggestions.

Plasti Dip

I feel that this is one of the options that people have the most fun with. What exactly is it? It comes in a spray paint can, but it's definitely not paint; it's a durable rubber coating that LOOKS like paint. The great thing about these is that they can be found anywhere
Taking this one step further, there are tons of ways to apply this to your car's aesthetics. This is a great area to let your creativity flow! Some people choose to paint their rims using Plasi Dip, while others use it to paint actual parts of their car's body. Some even use them to tint different lights on the car.

The second image of the Mustang shows the center panel (between the tail lights) in black. In most cases, you have to purchase a black deck lid panel to cover the panel. With Plasti Dip, you can actually paint the panel for a much cheaper price(usually five to seven dollars for a can). Of course, it is recommended that you cover the tail lights and the area around the panel with tape, in order for the Plasti Dip to land ONLY on the panel.

Rims

Yes, new rims can definitely change the look of your car. The bad part is, not everyone has money for rims. Now, if you're in that situation, you can resort to using Plasti Dip once again!



Plasti Dipping your rims is simple. All you have to do is remove the wheel from your car, set it down somewhere that it is safe to spray paint, and then begin the process. Using this method can take away the look of a factory car, as black rims tend to look more aggressive!


The nice thing about Plasti Dip is that it is a rubber coating that goes over the rims. Which means that anything that is painted is not permanent! If you get tired of the color, simply remove the Plasti Dip (can be removed by hand once it is dry, but it is still durable for road use), and start over with a different color!

Brake Calipers

Nothing says "lame" like some unpainted brake caliper. This can easily be fixed with a paint caliper kit! The work is not too tedious, simply remove the wheel and paint the caliper using the paint and 
brush included in the kit.


 

It may not seem like much, but it can definitely make your car look much more aggressive. Especially if paired with a set of black rims (which can be easily attained using Plasti Dip).

  1. I had no idea people actually had to buy a panel to cover the area between the taillights. I thought the vehicles were just purchased that way. How interesting!

  2. When done correctly plasti dip actually looks really good. My friend dipped his rims last summer and they look awesome. Red brake calipers also add some nice flair.
