...aNOTHER one???

We need a black cherry/bronze old skool impreza wagon thread... meet... or someting...

Looks like you're heading in the right direction... I've got the borla headers on, and they didn't make a huge difference, as opposed to the intake or catback. I used to have 03 WRX rims, but sold them last fall- I'm in the market for new ones now.

Update. Baked and painted my headlights yesterday. I'll take pics later. These aren't the crystal clear RS lights but it still looks cool and it was a fun project

...you didn't paint the all of the reflective part black, did you???
My buddy did this on his integra and from then on his headlight were all form, no function- they looked cool, but I kept asking him if his lights were on, cause they didn't work worth jack.

At worst, It'll be a reason to buy RS lights...

We go some snow the other day! extremely rare here, especially this time of the year.

Anyway, went rallying around and slid off the road a couple times, luckily I didn't f anything up, did slide through some bushes once though, need to buff out some scratches

Note to self, doing 40mph on 3inches of snow on RE92's isn't very safe


here's one of the roads I found, awesome rally course.

Shot of the subie where I was meant to be:


Here I am after I got pulled out from the snow bank, you can see my tracks in the background, I came over the hill, started sliding, almost had it back straight, then plowed into a snow bank

I noticed you cleared your corners and sidemarkers- Are you going to keep the bumper lights orange, or have you just gotten around to getting clear ones?

I have an extra set of clear ones sitting around somewhere, if you're interested.

redo the door panels

if you want to cover the "zebra on acid" door panels it is a pretty easy DIY project. two years ago I bought a leather interior kit from Katzkin on a group buy. the seats turned out beautiful. not quite sti seats though. what they sent me for the doors was just color matched sheets of vinyl. the kit came wih a tuck tool that you use to tuck the excess material into the crack and some spray adhesive. if you're interested and want more details let me know.

Looks good, man. Have you considered an RS front bumper, painted the slate color?
Would look pretty cool.
It's like my car at one stage, but smaller

New pics comming this friday when I finally get a chance to wash her. Since my last post I've added a somewhat custom CAI, and WRX front seats (much thanks to Preston at Gruppe S for a rockin deal!).

D a m n ! I"m already half way done with my summer plans and it's only May! :banana:

btw, I havent done anything to the front bumper (clears, touch up paint) cause I plan on stick an RS one on there. Right now, it' s my beater bumper.
