It's very well done.

But why dip over Fiji Blue? It's too good of a color to be painted over. Lol.

it looks like they did a nice job on it. The headlights/taillights now stand out way too much. I actually prefer the blue, but it looks like it turned out well for them.

Go for it! If you don't like it, it just peels right off (although I think that would be a lot more time consuming than people make it out to be lol). If it was going to do anything harmful to the car, you wouldn't see people dipping $100,000 cars lol.

Not sure if you've seen the dip your car forum or not (http://www.dipyourcar.com/forums/forum.php), but they have a DOTM (Dip of the month) section and you can get a lot of cool ideas, and I'm sure there are people talking about there experiences on there too, I would recomend you do a little research on there before you decide yes or no.

I love Fiji blue, but that matte Fiji looks hot....

That would make the dip so hard to remove. Lol.

If you do, spray really really light coats for the best look. It seems like the dipped car was sprayed very lightly with numerous coats and it turned out great.
