If you don't want to paint the headlight covers....smoke the FTP and turn signals like mine.

love how the car looks... everything looks like its coming together nicely! the only thing for me, are the wheels... I think if the wheels had a deeper dish to them, they would look more like a the Panda AE86 for sure (dont get me wrong though, i like the wheels). Keep up the good work!

Lamin-x on the FTP. Great stuff and have not had problems.

VHT night shade on the turn signals. You need to wet sand a couple times in order to get a good finish but over all great looking stuff.

As long as you only put a thin coat on. I put too much on my first attempt on my s13 Silvia front end and you definitely couldn't see it in the day.

Looks dope dude. Wayyy nice. The white strip below the trim is what really makes it shine. I think thats what the real Panda Scheme on the 86s look like, looks real good.

I personally would have made the white strip wider but hey it looks good.

future RS has an awesome paint scheme and i hope you dont mind me posting some pics of mine , not trying to steal your thread , just want to add to it , you gave me what i needed to use a similar scheme






this is not a final paint... i just wanted to test and see how it would look with the black starting lil lower than Future RS

Nice, that was what I was thinking. The black starting a little lower makes it more Panda Scheme-y as opposed to just Two-Tone.

Not that future RS isn't badass enough. Its all a matter of preference in the end. 2 Good looking cars.

yeah i always wondered what it would look like on an FC and when i saw Future RS car , it gave me enough to go and do it similar to him but lowering the line just a lil, but yeah now we got 2 good looking panda cars , so championadrien when you gonna go panda style

and yes i agree it is all a matter of preference in the end .
