Prep it yourself?

Considered that. But it's still probably $5k. Which is

Still better than discussing hybrid suspension.

And it's not a hybrid, which they're not making any more, iirc.

The whole point was to avoid the hybrid and the needless complexity. The current Jetta is rated at 40 highway anyways and gas is cheap. Hybrids make no sense at the moment

It’s the first C5 I’ve seen that doesn’t look like a bass boat : trollface: .

The one above is wrapped. I've considered trying dip just for fun. I may still.

I was asking if you considered a dip.

Looks like it's $500 all-in if you buy the dipyourcar sprayer. Which is cheaper than any other option by at least 150%. My concern is getting it to look decent and then how long it'll last and if it'll start peeling, etc.

Decent is a matter of keeping it clean, and not scrubbing the fuck out of it when you wash it.
Also, keep gas and other chems off of the surface, it will distort the color. Other than that, it's pretty

Have you ever dipped a car or know someone that has? I'm quite curious and can't find anyone I know that's done it.

The car is pretty babied as it is. Washed weekly always by hand the driveway, in the garage always (even at work). Maybe it's a good candidate for dip...

And they held up pretty well? No issues with peeling, etc?

I'm not sure I'd be happy with the overall finish look from less than 10 feet away if I did a whole car

This is something you do on a race car or a cheapass beater, not a nice car IMO.
