We finished up the complete vinyl wrap on friday and took her to the LaCrosse, WI Subaru meet. everything you see is vinyl, including the white.

Thanks to the local guys for taking these pics!

Next up is to get rid of those wrx brakes and powerslot rotors. I didnt want to ubgrade all of the hubs yet so i had to source 04 STi Brembos so they would be a direct bolt-on(almost). The fronts went right on without an issue but the rears needed some help. I had the kartboy rear 2 pot adapters..i'm not sure if these are meant just for the subaru rear 2 pots calipers or if they are made for the rear brembos as well as i had to mold the plate the bracket bolted onto to get it to fit.

Stopping has definitely improved a ton. The only downfall is that they weigh ALOT. looks like i'm going to have to get some lighter wheels to combat the heavier brakes.

Currently i'm using the oem pads but hope to be upgrading soon.

now with more CF and new headlights. i'll be painting the mesh on the hood to some other color..not sure what color though. also, the headlight housing will probably be painted as well.

i'm really starting to like the old school front bumber with the newer headlights and hood...it just looks really classic.

Damn Nice project, i must say, and well documented. Looking forward to seeing your numbers. For aftermarket pads i would suggest carbotechs, there pretty good. Keep us updated

Just got this thing back on the road after the winter. We'll be testing a few new products here this month and then hopefully we can get it on the track!
