That Mazda 6 is such an attractive car IMO.
They really stepped up.

Stop beating on your leased M5. Yeesh. I hate people who don't even take care of their borrowed cars.

because its kinda hard to do it perfect especially if you are a newb
the spray gun is expensive plus the gallons of dip so its more than $200.
only downside is the peeling when you wanna remove and that it can eat into the clear coat.

Should be able to get the entire kit, 3 gallons, spray gun and all for around $450. I don't think it is as hard as your making it out to be either. Plus if it isn't even you can always take it off.
Check on craigslist though in your area. Might find a shop to do an SUV for probably 5-700.
I am going to plasti dip my wheels in the next week just to do something different from stock. Will post a picture when I am done.

Idk about all that, here in the LA area there is alot of spots that will professionally spray it. I spray painted mines flat black for $300.

I have a 2014 Impreza hatch. The Mazda looks better imo, but is less functional. It will be more fun to drive though than the Impreza, but has less interior space. If you want more room, awd, I would go with the Impreza. Also can't go wrong with the Satin White Pearl, but the Dark Gray Metallic when clean in person is a really nice color.
Also for the Impreza you won't get the advertised mpg unless you are easy on the throttle for city driving.

^^ Not a big fan of the WRX in a sedan, but with that being said it is supposed to be a lot better car than the current version all around. Depends on what you are looking for since both of those cars are pretty different, if you are after awd, nothing will compare to a Subaru.
idk maybe see if anyone on craigslist has a spray gun that you can rent out or something. I think for an SUV like that it will probably take about 4 gallons. Check dipyourcar.com They sell full kits and have all the pricing on there.
You can also buy vinyl wrap and do that yourself. I think PugLife did his Mercedes on his own. It would be pretty difficult though and take some patience, likely another person or 2. But you can get the wrap fairly cheap on ebay, just get the 3m if that is what you decide on doing.

I plastidipped my wheels once. Never did it before and it came out alright from a distance. Closely examined though and you could see uneven textures and whatnot.
I'd highly recommend practicing on something small before tackling a whole car.
Also, it was a pain in the *** to remove every bit of it.

Did you use the rattlecan or a sprayer-gun ?

Plasti dipping rims...on a scle of 1-10 for difficulty its probably a 2.
Clean your wheels, put a plastic bag behind the rim (theres a video on YT of Fonzi doing this), and spray. Spray in straight lines, only angling on a new line. 2-3 light coats then go heavy. Its really as simple as can be. Its not like spray paint where you NEED everything to be even, the plasti dip will dry evenly itself. If its a pain to peel, you probably didnt do enough layers though I do admit I put a ton of layers and when I peeled my rims (wanted a different color) it wasnt exactly as easy as I thought either.

Brake light came on, turns out it was not only the mounted brake light, but the rear right one. |I

No, it's not the ABS light, it literally says brake light. The right one is dimmer than the other, figured it out once we were pushing the brakes.
Heres a pic for better understanding *not my pic*

Aah ok.
You dont have aftermarket tails do you ? My friends Prelude had a similar problem when he swapped the lamps on his car.
