lol i dont either. ill take it to the track i dont care. i guess im weird id rather suck it up and do it right the first time. but to each their own. congrats

as for the rims more than your car....i guess so....idk. i dont care about the price its all about if you are happy with your car performance wise and aesthetically.

If all of us waited around until we had the time and money to do things perfectly, well I don't think that much would ever get done.

oh right....half *** things good plan

maybe im just weird.....maybe thats what sets me apart.......who knows

Kentetsu

Man, some people are just puckered way too tight!

whoa so much hate! I think its lookin alright. Not a fan of the black hood, to me its a bit ricerish but thats just my opinion but its come a long way for sure. Ill def watch the video once my interenet stops being stupid.

Agreed. It looks real nice, but I think it would look better with a white hood. But two-tone black/white is FTW. I'll be doing something similar with mine, I think.

I might pay someone to have a picture of Flora from the Winx Club airbrushed on the hood of the S model. Nah. Better make it Musa.

wtf? and as far as the white hood, who knows maybe ill try and see if i like it, thats the beauty of a twenty dollar paint job, i can change it as i please.

2cute

no hate.

as i said to each their own. i just dont understand why you wouldnt do it the right way. thats all im saying. i did all the body work and paint on my car myself. i also made sure there were no waves no chips no digs and that everything was perfect. and i also used auto paint which that alone took me somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 hours or more. there are a lot of coats of paint and then a ton of coats of clear (flat clear is a bitch to lay as its harder to tell if everything is properly evenly covered)

if youre taking 11 hours to prep and paint **** why not take the extra time to make sure all the waves are out and it is properly done?

maybe this idea is just eluding me......

also as i said if he is happy with it more power to him...personally id never be able to walk out to my car in the morning with waves in the side skirts and be happy with it.....

and im just curious why is everyone all of a sudden going to the 2 tone paint job?

perfect_circle

the only reason the skirt wave is because i have pop riveted them to the underbody yet, only along fender, i dont think there going anywhere :shrugs: and the 12 hours was prep, paint, and mounting the body and somewhere in the middle of all of that i went to my nephew b-day party, so its not like ive invested too much time, for a days worth of work, im very happy with it.

because ever other time i work on the car for a day, i make negative progress as something i dont have to replace always breaks.

mine isnt riveted on the bottom either...in fact i dont recall needing to secure it to the bottom at all......
each side is held on by 5 pop rivets (painted flat black) and 4 screws....

Cody, I've got a white hood if you want it. I was thinking about throwing it on my red fb just to see how it looks, but have more important projects to keep up with right now. If you want it, its yours...

I feel like I should be posting pics of my car in this thread since its turned into the "everyone loves black and white first gens" thread... haha I was going to paint my hood black at one point but decided against it....

2cute

Yea your car looks cool too. not usually a fan of gold, but your car pulls it off quite nicely.
I think someday when I go to repaint my PandaFB I'll be doing it a solid color though....

2cute

i think i like the gold cuz its not terribly common....

thanks
