well if I dont decide to smoke them, then i'll do red.. The clear on the red still looked horrid IMO. I cant stand the altezza look of them. But to each their own I guess.

I've got red on red with my SVX and it just blends into the paint too much. Maybe on the STi it's not such an aesthetic problem, but on the SVX the rear-end is pretty dependent on having that long tail light across the back. Makes me wish there was some contrast back there on my car... but the only way to do that would be to repaint the car.

At least with the STi, you can leave the lights clear for some contrast... it's not my favorite, but it looks decent.

Nick Koan · 2010-11-08, 02:55 PM

On my red Legacy, which is a different red than the STi, I put a tint film over my lights to cut down on the chrome altezza look. After a few months, I just took it off because it really started to annoy me. I also thought about a red film, but it looked worse IMO.

Granted, my paint color and taillight situation is different, but I thought I'd throw that out there.

At least the STi doesn't have the chrome bar that goes all the way across the rear hatch.

Nice car, nice look. Definitely looks mean and pissed off in red on black.

Wow! Looks great from the back. I'd stick with black wheels if I had a red Impreza.

GusGus91 · 2010-11-10, 12:21 PM

I have half a dozen half used cans of various brands/sheens of black, if you're interested.

rory_a · 2010-11-10, 01:00 PM

Honestly, just the site of that STI made me decide I'm sticking with black wheels. Winters on the Rotas, something new for summer.

You need 18x9.5 +30 Gloss Black Enkei RPF1s.

GusGus91 · 2010-11-10, 05:07 PM

I was thinking 18x10.

Nick Koan · 2010-11-10, 05:11 PM

I think I saw you today. 4:30ish by South Meadows and Double Diamond.

GusGus91 · 2010-11-10, 05:18 PM

Yep that was me.. Did you have the blue leggy in front of me?

Nick Koan · 2010-11-10, 05:49 PM

Nope, the red one.

JoeWRX · 2010-11-10, 06:31 PM

I still say you go bronze wheels......

Frank · 2010-11-13, 03:56 PM

looks nice man. Hey can I ask- what wheels do you have on the wrx? Are those Rotas or legit volks or something else?

GusGus91 · 2010-11-13, 05:11 PM

They're Rota Torques in Hyper Black 17x9 +30mm

I was wondering whose it was - but thought you'd have a California plate Kevin. What wheels/tires were you on at the time? Combo looks wide and aggressive, and sweet.

No Cali plates for me, I live in NV.

Same as my autox setup 17x8 RPF1's, but at that time I had 245 Starspecs, right now I have 245 RE01R's.
