LOL, wow - i joined s-net 13 years ago when i got my first import WRX then this forum/club was friendly and helpful. After the majority of these responses i can see why it now has the rep it does and is nowhere near as active as it was in the past. Everyone's entitled to their opinion hence why things get discussed (that's what a forum is all about) but to go from an opinion to a personal attack says a hell of a lot about the person behind the keyboard.
The dip was done as a bit of a change, an experiment - not to be a permanent fixture while i got the black parts that came with the car painted white to match the bonnet - as for it being a waste of money if we're really honest with ourselves 90% of the changes that we all do to our cars are a waste of money
Thanks for all your "opinions" certainly opened my eyes to the current mood/membership here on scoobynet.

Try not to take it to heart fella,as the saying goes:"Opinions are like........"(Fill in the blanks).But always try to remember that it is a public forum,and if you post up a picture for general viewing,be prepared to get roasted sometimes.You need to have thick skin on here these days,your 100% right about that.SJ.
Who did the dipping? How's the quality? Is there much stretch to the pattern on the curves of the scoop?

Crying? Was more an expression of disappointment in the way members had decided to express their views - and that change from back then until now was the reason for stating joining time.
Skins far too thick to let words on a screen get to me but by all means carry on . . . . . .
The dipping is not too bad a job, the lacquering left a lot to be desired though and i did give it a quick hit with 2500 grit and Megs ultimate polish to bring it up properly. There's a little stretch of the pattern on the curves and in the entrance of the scoop.

Was looking at dippping a little while ago, I think if the pattern was bigger instead of having so much small detail it might look better, It probably looks better in the flesh.

The guy that done the dip said he was happy to be doing something other than carbon!
I had intended on finding a pattern that was much lighter with just splotches of the camo but couldn't track down a film so that was as light as i could get, they did stretch it a little and put it over a white base to brighten it as much as possible. Those pics were taken near sundown so the original silver kinda shines through - when seen in daylight it's much much more subtle.
Either way it's short term!

It's always worth trying something new, though it is not to my taste. I am not a carbon look fan either, so probably would have gone white or black myself.
There are still some great people about on here, just a shame a great proportion are morons raising their post counts as if the internet is going out of fashion.
