so either way, the internetz goes on

How much LSD are you taking that Pandas look blue and black to you? :O

I hope you meant changing the color to white and black as that is what a panda look is. And if its something YOU want go for it!

@Vincenttam not my cup of tea, but here is what it would look like, in theory. I think the black goes too high on this one though...



This one isn't as bad

Post a pic of your car as it sits currently. One mr.washington says you have stock wheels. And your car looks stock.
Save your money and get some real mods, which would look much better than a temporary "LOOK AT ME" mod. Get some wheels. Even xxr/rotas are ok. Wheel spacers. Springs. Coilovers. Shift knob. Sidemarkers. Bayson R stuff. Tint. OFT. Header. Many better ways to spend your money.

Cheap mods will just make your car look cheap.

If you had/have watanabe style wheels, or mesh or anything ae86 style, I would say go for it.

Once again. Post a pic of your car and list your mods. I would like to see.

Try not doing that? or doing that?
I recommend making your own decision based on the situation. =)

Plasti Dip

Hello, I own a plast dip company in Cincinnati Ohio. If you think plasti dip is a cheap product let me explain the process to you. First a rattle can is the way to go for simple projects. Symbols on a car and that's it. It's a uncontrol product that can fail from the first spray.
I use a spray gun that you can control the air flow and spray direction. I use gallon Plasti Dip that I thin with premium thin. I test the viscosity of the dip. The plast dip I use is UV proctect. The rattle can isn't. The Internet say 5-7 coats. I put up to 15-20 coats on a full car. On rims 25-30 coats. Then I warranty my work and the product. Something the rattle cans don't have. Then the process of applying the Dip takes HOURS to complete. One four door sedan takes any where from 1 1/2 days up to 3 depending on condition of the car, for example tar heavy waxed water spots and rust. Once you start the dipping process you have to finish. Can't stop and then restart the next day. I have applied dip for over 16 hours straight. I also apply it in a controlled environment. Plasti Dip is an awesome new product if applied correctly people think your car has been vinly wraped. Don't believe me check out my website undercovercoating.com
