I need new bumpers so we didn't paint them, but we did spray paint them with a black gloss paint





The trunk of my car was missing the carpet and on the back of the seats, the carpet was missing too, so i bought a mat at auto zone and cut it out to fit the trunk the cut and zip tied it to the back of my seats, just till i can get the real stuff






The rims i want to get

I was planning on getting those aleica's too... back in dec 2011 but decided to get the shatokan's, sick wheels for a classic look well that was my goal. What tire size you plan on running and what size/offset for the wheels?

Ahickman36

What i want is 15'x8' +25 offset rims and 195/50r15 tires

New paint is lookin sweet! I wish I knew how to paint/had gear. I really want a panda wagon. Personally feel the gloss black doesn't look as good as matte as it just looks weird. Will look good with those wheels.

yeah, we had scuffed up the bumpers pretty good because the plan was to paint them, but we decided since we needed to buy new ones anyway it would be a waste of paint to do it, so thats why we did them the gloss black. My boyfriend john learned how to paint during this process; he painted his AE86 too and was watching his friend, and he ended up painting my doors and clearing my doors by himself. doesn't seem too hard, but it helps to have someone there who knows what to do and making sure you buy all the right stuff....and the right stuff isn't cheap! lol
