That thing HAD to look better before. Maybe it's just the photo, but drawing attention to the lip around that vent isn't what I'd do. Maybe if the whites matched better it would disappear, but now it looks a bit south of the border.

Yah, I think the bezel part of it is drawing too much attention as well.

I wouldn't of even asked for another opinion. That definitely doesn't look good. If I were driving beside you it would warrant a head shake at the least.

mmm still dunno with that white on it, I feel it looks like those magnetic "vents" that people buy off ebay to stick on the side of the car

I think it looks good from a far. It's temporary anyways and the thing about plasti dip, if you don't like what color you wanted to turn into, at least you can peal it away! I'll leave it for now. It's not like I'm dipping my whole car or rims.
