Think about your winter wheel situation before cutting plz.

Yup, that's one of the main reasons that's got me saying "nope" to even thinking about flares as a realistic option.

295/30/18 winter tires is the worst idea ever lol. I promise you will skate over even a light dusting of snow, been there done that!

Haha yea I know better than that to even entertain the idea

Finally finished peeling it fully. Still getting used to the whole shine thing again. It's like a whole new old look

Did you have the entire car painted?

I wish. That way I would've had the rust dealt with as well, and would save me precious Photoshop time

But aside from the rusty spots, the paint is actually in great shape for its age. Was after all protected for 3 years, so I guess it's to be expected.

Didn't you have different coloured panels?

Yup, swapped everything back to original panels. She's as close to stock as she's been in a while lol

Some Fall pics..











^ and the last "mod" on the car (ie thing I bought that I wasn't forced to). And the first one in a long time. Wonder if @Reddie1337 has figured it out yet, after like 3 weeks? haha

[Reddie1337]

I still haven't figured it out, haven't thought much more about it.

Thought you would have learned it by now

[FD22]

Been a while since the last post in here. Car is mostly back to stock, been rocking the OEM+ look for a bit now. Going to be parking her for some rest pretty soon here for the summer. Would love to keep it as a winter beater, but just due to the situation I'm in, likely going to be putting her up for sale. We'll see what happens though.

Oh hey @Reddie1337, hopefully you've figured it out by now? Want to give you the new car plate to decipher next, but only if you've finally gotten this one.

[Reddie1337]

I learned it. What’s the next one?

haha good. I'll figure out somewhere else to post it and tag you. Don't wanna clutter this OG thread with German nonsense just yet

And agh, really wish I could do the same. I'm so torn on what to do, and the logistics of it all are playing a huge role in it.
