VANCT!

Just had another look at your pics....They look amazing. Your car is hot and you should be very proud. It is very stylish and unique without all the childish nonsensical stuff....I like your car.

Dwayne.

The tape actually held on for the entire trip, even in the rain lol.

Still a bit undecided about going lower, there's a speedbump that I can't avoid at work. I think I could get away with going about an inch lower.

yah, ive used painter's tape on cross country trips through rain too. as long as it's taped up correctly the wind will not catch the tape and lift it up (as you already know).

nice job again on the car and picts.

Thanks sir . I pretty much lucked out when I found these online and couldn't believe someone didn't snatch them up first because of their condition and rarity in this size and bolt pattern, I even waited a few more days before finally buying them because I wasn't sure how good they would actually look on my car, but they worked. They were in excellent condition too, the lips were completely perfect, only the center caps had some chipping, but those can be replaced pretty easily still. I did curb rash one wheel within a week of mounting them though. Was beyond mad.

I'm planning to run these for 1-2 years so it may be a while before I sell them unless I just really find another set of wheels I really like or someone gives an offer I can't refuse. To set these wheels off, I really do need to go a bit lower, so I was planning coilovers before another set of wheels though. I'll keep you in mind when I do sell them.

Vanct you're the best! What's your opinon of a Mugen grille on a CBP? I have a little Christmas cash and am torn. I personally think the Mugen grille makes the car look a little too cluttered on CBP, but am taking suggestions....

I referred to your old thread here:

https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/2nd-...ghtmare-2.html

and yes, the Mugen Grill looks odd on CBP, which is why I never bought it!

I'd only get it if you plan on getting at least the Mugen front spoiler too. They look best together. Makes more sense to at least have a couple of Mugen items if the badging is there. What's the next mod you would do? Might be better to put it towards that.

Major pic update time!

Me and a few of my Subie friends:

Before anyone asks, the Bride seats are Vios III replicas. I bought them used and didn't verify them well enough before finding out they were fake. They "looked" 90% authentic, but it's the details that gave it away. Last time I'll make that mistake. Sucks that I'll probably have to take a loss after I get rid of them in the spring.

Photos look awesome. We're nearly twin from the rear. Lol. Btw Sucks that happened to you tho. Some photos dont justify any item at all. Also the seller shouldve been more clear. Get a refund!

I want to, but I don't know if I'm about that life lol. If my funds are good next year, I may be picking up some HKS coilovers. That or some Buddy Clubs, but I'm still looking at others. Looking for suggestions and tips on coilovers, because I honestly don't know enough about what the best specs to look for yet.

Wheels look great especially on a silver fit.
