looks good!

How's the removal? Is it pretty easy to remove and does it leave residues?

-thanks

Peels very easily. I have this stuff on my E60 and my TL. Is so simple to apply and remove.

Here is a video of someone removing it from their roof.

This guy plasti dipped his B8 Audi S4. http://audizine.com/forum/showthread...tte-white-pd-2

I like the look. BTW you do know that removing those covers would have been about 50 times easier than doing all that masking and taping, right?

Hello from Greece, we have a similar issue in bmwfans.gr last weeks and I have watched almost all the related videos that exist on the Internet.
I had the thought,to do the trims inside the car with plasti-dip but isn't easy to find this product in Greece so i should order it from USA.
I believe that plasti-dip is something to make our car temporarily to show little different and i also think that painting is the best solution if we want a good result without any fear for the dust and the guy washing the car.
However just working on your car is a nice feeling.
