New daily driver: 2004 WRX

[Kracka]

How does the ride compare to Janelle's Prokits?

[A//// Guy]

Lookin good!

[goodhart]

^^A little tiny bit bouncier I think. I'll have to get some STi shocks, and finish the combo here for a real nice ride. It seems right now though that its a smoother ride than it was before, not really a bad thing I guess, considering 6 months from now I'll be hauling my baby around iun the back seat.

Tinted my tails this last weekend, I used the VHT Niteshades spray tint.







As you can see, even though they are tinted pretty dark, the light still comes through really well.


Here is some more pics in the daylight as requested.

[A//// Guy]

Oooo sexy! How does it look in the daylight? Moar pics!

Id like to tint mine but its not really reversible.. so im iffy on it.

[goodhart]

If you're looking for a more reversible option to tail light tainting, you should look into these.

[A//// Guy]

Thanks for the link! Yea I was thinking about getting overlays for the headlights, just havent checked them out yet.

[goodhart]

OK, I added MOAR pics to the previous post as requested.

[asshanson]

How well can you see the brakes in the daylight I think Peter was asking about. Looks good though.

[goodhart]

Been a while since I've done anything to this pile, lol.

This last week or so I have picked up a few things for it though.

- ERZ Downpipe
- Ebay Up-pipe
- This carbon fiber exhaust sheild that Jannelle needs:



- And this Saweeet deal on this Seibon CF grille for $100 ( retails for over $200)



I'll update as I get some of this crap installed.

Painted the ugly silver mesh black today:

Hows the car feel with that up/downpipe combo? Are you planning on getting it tuned?

Haven't gotten any of it on yet, still waiting on shipping

Only thing to show up so far is the downpipe

Still waiting on a whole slew of stuff to show up that I ordered last week:

-Uppipe
-Tein badge for grille
-CF exhaust thing
-Domo doll





And yes I will be getting it tuned by Nate (Bullwinkle)from MNSubaru again, he is one of the few non-douche members over there and know shis shit.

Why a Tein badge?

Seriously though, it should look pretty nice, if not then it'll come off, it was only 8 bucks so I figured what the hell.

[Kracka]

LOL ok.

[goodhart]

Got my uppipe and downpipe this weekend, also installed my little carbon fiber exhaust sheild.


Up-pipe:





Downpipe:




Also had to re-adjust my front bumper a bit because it just didn't seem to fit right for some reason. We took the bumper off Saturday night and discovered a little damage, and this car was obviously in some sort of wreck in the past, here are some pics. Nothing too major, but it explained the bumper not fitting quite right.





Like I said nothing too major, now it looks much better than it did before and will also allow this new grill to look even nicer.


This also showed up on Friday, took about 10 minutes to install and I think it looks pretty nice and will actually be funtional once my new exhaust parts get installed.

I would sand a spray those welds, had the same deal on one of my cars, and the weld rusted out and broke. Rustoleum and a new weld fixed the issue.

[Kracka]

Does anyone make one of those exhaust heatshields w/o all the pre-drilled screw holes?

No idea, I guess to me it didn't really matter having the rivets there cause my car is already silver and it matched good
