    Do you mean the upper part that opens? The area around the shifter/cup holders? Or the entire sides of the center console?

    I think in the mega thread there is a photo of someone who dipped his shifter bezel.

    Personally, I wouldn't spray plastic dip anywhere that it will have constant rubbing

    I don't hate it, I just think it's odd that people use it as paint when it's really meant to be used on tools.

    I dont blame people for disliking the fact some people can go a bit over board with it. but i did it on my rims about 6 months ago and it has held up great. i like it because i think black rims look a lot better, and i only spent 12 bucks on 2 cans instead of hundreds on a new set of rims. I do plan on getting actual black rims still, plasti dip is just a nice cheap alternative for the mean time i think and it can look good if done correctly and as long as its not over used.

    you could of spent the same money on actual paint and it would've lasted a lot longer.
