Yeah before the subie I use to have a MK1 Vw Rabbit aka Konejo in Spanish. It was pretty basic, slammed with small fat bbs wheels. It had a clean engine bay with an old school Callaway turbo kit so that's why my SN is turbokonejo lol.
I should of made it AE86GTS hatch because I also had one of those a little bit before the rabbit, I sold it because of the major rust it had. I sold the rabbit about a year ago and bought another AE86 but in coupe form with out a single spot of rust, so now that sits in my driveway and will be my next project. Plans are a JDM Levin front end/4agze jdm supercharged swap/ coilovers/watanabes and what ever else to make it as nice as I can drifter style.

Cutting the fenders was cake. Took me about 30min with the template I got online.
Now the spec -c vent was a different story. I bought the vent back in November of 2004 and didn't install it till Jan 2006 lol. It sat for over a year in my room because I didn't have the ***** to install it and I wasn't ready to pay someone $300 to do it when lots of my body shop buddies and I have the ability to do so. After seeing so many guys buying the peace and installing them I was getting pissed knowing I could have been one of the first ones to be rocking this thing back then. Anyways It took three hours with two friends and I have actually installed another one for a local member.
Not so scary anymore lol. Talk to you all laters and keep the comments comming.
Thanks
Freddy

Yeah the pics were taken after the wash. I open up the vent because I was getting ready to dry the car and have to wipe my shammy around the vents gasket to dry the water that gets under that peace. Its holding up well, no leaks so far, Thank god.
Thanks again for the positive comments. If you guys keep it up I might not want to switch up the look lol.

Found someone local selling the JDM rear glass with wiper and motor for a real good price.
I'm so temted to buy that thing. Do you guys think it would look weird if I got the rear wiper and still rock it wingless? IMO I think the S202 carbon spoiler and wiper together would look sick but then again I feel as if it might look to busy back there?
Yeah black on gold looks aight. I almost bought a set of EDM wrx wheels in gold but they didn't fit over my brembos, I would have gone with the JDM wheels but I like the forged BBS wheels a little better plus the V7 sti spec-c ra came with those wheels if you guys didn't know. I'm almost tired of the black on gold though and would like to try out a high polished
Advan wheel or a bronze Volk wheel. Which do you guys think would look better on black?
I would also like to be real different when I change the exterior look of my car and get some Watanabe wheels or some Work equip 003 something with an old school look to it. We will see.
