Do yourself a favor and paint the whole car one color. I used to be a fan of carbon fiber, especially on hoods, but after my ordeal with my hood, I wish I would have had it painted from the beginning... Carbon fiber does NOT do well with the sun and can even weaken it from sun exposure. Just paint it! Not only will it look a lot better, but you'll prolong the life of your new investment. Nothing looks better than a modified car that is CLEAN... meaning all one color and no stickers. Your car with the wide body will look AMAZING if its painted all one color... Its ghetto as hell to have multicolors.

<---- Coming from a long time Subie fanatic, that multi-color stuff belongs in the Honda scene, not on subies.


PS: To clarify, I'm ONLY referring to the body and nothing else. Wheels that are dual color can be very awesome, but keep the body one color and keep the stickers off. I used to be a sticker junky, I've learned.

You're going to regret this in 2 years when the carbon looks like **** due to the sun and weathering. Next time you see my 2.5RS, take a look at my hood... It just gets worse and worse and its not even in the sun that often. I've seen so many peoples beloved carbon fiber bits fade, chip, etc with time... Once that happens you're screwed and it takes a lot of money to fix it. Painting it one color is the only way to go man... trust me on this one! Not only is carbon fiber very 2001, but the clean one color scheme is timeless... It will look soooo sick with the wide body and a single color... it will be "extreme" but very clean at the same time... You don't want the car to look that busy, do you? Someone photoshop the car in one color VS cabron fiber accented.

Well I just ordered the Zero/sport body kit. I'll be robbing the front bumper and selling the rest. I also just ordered some wheels from subiedude. I went with some gunmetal 18x9's for now those concave ones... Even forgot what they look like. hahaha

Why did you put normal WRX brakes on a STi?

Paint it BMW Grey with the rest of your car, the color is sick, saw it on an STI before on here =P, with a Widebody and some bad *** offsets I'm sure your car would be crazy

I wasn't talking about the kit car. I was talking about his:



Look like the red WRX normal brakes...

Is there a WRX motor in there too?
