yeah If I did it I'd stick to blue. Thinking of painting with carbon accents.

I agree... I think sticking with WRB w/carbon accents would be AWESOME

I believe you said Carbon above the body line? And WRB below? That's what I'd do to my wagon if they offered a wide body kit I could actually afford (or even find for that matter!) LOL

It's gonna look sweet not matter what though!!

Best of Luck to ya!

defintely paint it, and do a fade, i think that might look pretty good. I've seen it done on spoilers, but you never know.

paint the car black.

I'd paint that sucker satin black with a fade to carbon. Just do a nice black paint with a flattened clear over the whole car. Then get some bronze wheels. Either that or black with polished lip. Course that's how I want to paint my wagon... sans carbon fiber.

I would say paint it blue with carbon accients.

I have a question on the rear panels, how are they affixed? the pictures look like they are glued in place? Are you going to blend them into the current panels for a more finished look?

Definitely paint it. IMHO most body kits are rice. A widebody kit may be able to look good if done right, but leaving if CF definitely would not fall under the doing it right category.

They get bonded. But more then likley I am going to look into dezus fasteners.

Here is the game plan as of right now.

Zero/Sports front bumper
Seibon front fenders, (wider ones)

L'aurnsport rear widebody kit.

Paint the above wrb and leave my hood, roof, rear defuser and trunk/STi spoiler in carbon fiber.

Now I have to find some local parts. Front fenders, cage and front brake set up.

Anyone want to buy the Zero/Sports rear bumper and side skirts?

if you are going to spend all that money on such a nice body kit why go cheap on the wheels? you should do it up proper and get some real wheels instead of knock offs. nothing against Rota, i have some, but only cuz i cant afford the real deal. just my opinion

oh btw.... PAINT IT.

Well I want to get these..



But I'll have to wait till the car is done before I throw down that cash. I dont want to get something that doesnt fit right.
