Thank you, I did a clear coat on my rims and the tail lights. You can still see light through the back you just can't see the fixtures unless you're standing right next to my car. I'll add more pictures later, I also blacked out my grill.

Everyone at work says I drive a bat mobile.

search some threads on here and you'll find a ton of plastidip projects. Also keep in mind that you can paint over it: you could use the white plastidip as a primer, paint over it with regular high gloss or whatever you wanted, add some clear coat over that and have a decent looking job that can all be removed (just make sure you've got a good layer of the plastidip)
