As a Birthday gift my mom decided to paint my car. I think it was the side view mirrors and spray paint that did it. One of my mom's good friends owns a body shop and he wanted to paint my car and use it for advertising. Nothing special, he knew that I was going to be daily driving my car and that it would attract a lot of attention. Since he was doing it at a really good price and I wasn't paying for it, I decided to go balls out. After figuring out the budget, I decided to piece together the exterior.
I went with Shine Auto replica Sexy Style 30mm front fenders and vented hood. (I had gone from the stock steel hood, to an aluminum Turbo II hood, to an aluminum NA hood, to this one!) I went through Raceon USA to get 30mm rear over fenders, a GP Sports replica kit, and I went through Shine again for the roof spoiler.
As for a color I wanted Blood Red Kandy from House of Kolors, but it was way too expensive. I went with a similar candy paint instead. The downside of candy paint is that it isn't the best for daily use, but oh well.
I was also rocking my Racinghart Mazdaspeed wheels off of my Protege 5. The offset is around +50, way too high for the FC. The rears fit, but the front wouldn't clear the struts.
