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 .

you should leave the headlight covers black. IMO that's the trademark of the panda.
I wanna run with a similar color scheme but I don't know the first thing about sanding and painting.... what kind of sandpaper should I use? What sanders would help out the best?

i may actually stop doing the sleepy eye altogether...the only reason i started doing it was cuz my passenger side headlightmotor went out...so only my driver side goes up and down.
ill post pics tommaro of the progress...(and lower sleepy eye pics to keep hypertek off my *** lol )

s far as sanding and painting ....well im not a professional by anymeans...just doing what i feel...and learning as i go...currently i have been using just wet or dry sandpaper you buy at autozone grit rate 800 for initial sanding , then moving to 1500 grit and then 2000 grit...thats just what i have been doing when i paint...again this just works for me...i may not be doing it right by the book or whatever but its working for me , as far as paint..right now im just doing rattle can using dupli-color paints and primers , once i get the scheme jsut right and the way i want it i will then (hopefully this comming spring/summer) get it painted with a spray gun by one of my GF's friends who has a paint shop.
trial and error is how we get better right ...

Someone with the same car
I used to know somebody with the exact same car in Tacoma Wa. Went to Spanaway Lake High School (I think). The exact same color, exact name of a "Panda FC" (this name is used everywhere). The exact placement of the DC skateboarding symbol. Where did you get that pic from (what site, or myspace)?
I believe the car is turning out very well, keep up with the good work!
