New to that family..
 

Well a new addition to the reno subie scene is my 2008 lightning red STI that I got not too long ago. Thought I'd share. :)

Cool... Red & gold looks good. I like the palindrome plate on the white one.

Sweet STI. Needs moar stage II! I know some guys who can get you there cheap. ;)

Pretty!

haha kevin I dont think imma go stage 2 for a while.

Hot!

What do you mean "for a while"? I thought this car was to leave alone as a DD since you have the other car. You remember that blue wrx?

A while as in til dec 2013 when the warranty is up :lol: THat is a while Mr. Juice

You have to be kidding me. They swapped the gold wheels back on? lol. I was trying to buy the black wheels that thing was on for a buddy - it was on Prodrives, then swapped to black '08 stockers, then apparently back to Prodrives.

Car looks great!

I told them I wasn't buying the car without the Prodrives on there for the advertised price. Because they put the stockers back on, and kept the same price.. I even offered them $300 for the stockers and they wouldn't take it! Which was surprising..

Yeah, they were trying to get $500 for the stockers from me, which I would have paid (needed a set for a buddy to go back to stock)........but when I went in the next day they had mounted them on the car and were trying to sell me the Prodrives :lol:

Their loss. Nice car. My buddy just sold his red '08 (not the same car) :\

Looks good. Congrats!

Those bastards! haha yea I was bummed that they wouldnt let my buy them.. Looks like my winter wheels are Prodrives.. (never thought I'd say that)


Thanks! I love it. :)

Any recommendations on visual mods that would look good, since I'm not doing power? I'll be on coilovers and 18x10's next summer probably..

I said it after this post: http://www.i-shred.org/showthread.ph...full=1#post316

but I'll say it again for good measure:

Chargespeed bottomline kit. PLEASE do it, looks so bad ass, expensive though

lol

Saw a CS Bottom Line Carbon Fiber knock off kit on eBay while looking for '07 S203 lips. They do look bad ass!

Even the cheap ebay version is still expensive! the real kit is like $2k! No way in hell I could ever justify that!

Yeah, I'm gonna hate. Right up until I track down a job that pays worth a damn.

"Ya gotta pay to play."

:P


Wasn't the eBay version like $400 or something? Can't remember, obviously didn't really care much as it wouldn't work on the '07. But I remember it being "not bad", and perfectly subtle looking.

I absolutely hate it on every model besides GRs
I thought the carbon fiber one was around 1800 i think, but I thought they made one out of polyurethane that was cheaper too........ probably wrong like always, at least get a front lip

X2.


And to be honest, I think the red taillight lamin-x would look 100000000000000x better. Blend 'em in more.

the polyurethane was 1800.. the CF was $2000+.


Ehh everytime I see the red tails on the red car it doesnt look that good to me.. it looks like you cant really even see the tail lights because it blends too much. Plus im going with black and red color scheme. I'm eventually going to get them painted like my wrx tails, black with a redish tint mixed in. well.. I guess that would be smoking them. lol

And I'll get a front lip after the winter..

Bleah... just leave them clear. Red is the only color the clear lights look decent on. On everything else, I'd go with the red wrap.

"Smoking" the lenses is dumb IMO, if only because when some jack-hole rear-ends you, now it's no longer a slam-dunk with the insurance company because the guy at fault will claim "I couldn't see his brake lights because they're painted over" and now you've got a legal battle to win.
