    You're right it does look like the v-limited lip. I wish I could get better pictures of the white OB because at least in that picture it looks really good.

    I might buy one for the hell of it even though I already have 3 rolls of EZ-lip. I wouldn't be butthurt about cutting up a $50 replica lip

    Yeah they're cheap on Ebay so it's not really a big deal to cut it up.
    Might even be able to stack the EZ-lip underneath it to give it a more pronounced look.

    Put my summers on today. Check clearances to try to figure out what size spacers to order. Still unsure on that, since I don't want extended studs, but to go big enough to get spacers with studs in them already might be too much...

    I plan on running a couple degrees of camber in the front to tuck. What's everyone's thoughts on spacer size? I can get more pics if needed in a couple days. I'd also rather not modify the wheels to clear the nuts on the spacers, since the BBS wheels really don't have any cavities in the back. So does anyone by any chance know the length of the stock studs?



    and some more MS paint fake low

    Got my Honda wiper on. Not only does it look better, but the annoying dying wiper motor sounds is now gone for some reason...

    Painted my corners the other day. Still gotta wet sand my headlights before I paint those too.





    Also it looks like one of my side markers went missing because my roommates weren't very respectful of my spare parts in the basement. Pissed now I have to buy another pair.

    I've been thinking about a solution to them dragging, basically just chop off the lower inch or so that's just a flat piece and it'll basically avoid all dragging/scraping unless you drive off a curb or something with a drastic drop. Dunno how it'd look though, gotta chop the bottom off and then trim the sides a bit to round it out to look factory again.
    Instead of cutting off that section, find a Legacy (non-OB) at a Junkyard with flaps. The Legacy's didn't have that lower section, would bolt right on and look factory!

    Just upgrade to Rally Armors. Buy the generic ones for like 20 bux, then pull off the stockers, trace the holes onto the new flap, and then bolt them on with supplied Rally Armor hardware.

    Cale posted a picture of another Outback with the EZ-lip stuff on page 1. He also posted on my build thread with a closer up picture.

    Link to the owners post: And a few posts down he explains how he attached it.

    Using one of these would probably require some modification. I would imagine you gotta chop the center ridge off so that it doesn't push the lip downwards leaving a gap.

    That's one of the lips I'm considering, also this style for the winglets on the ends.

    But the center portion being recessed might look kinda goofy on an OB bumper.

    Yellow bulbs and fogs. Still need to refinish the lenses though.

    Kinda tough with the weight of the suspension pulling on it. Make sure that you clean the threads thoroughly before you make any adjustment, something to blow the road dirt and stuff off. Brake clean might be too aggressive.

    Loosen the bottom collar and then spin the spring assembly down into the bottom bracket. Pretty straight forward but make sure you aren't adjusting the spring preload.

    The wrenches wreak havoc on your hands so I would grab a rod/bolt anything that fits in the hole at the end of the wrench and pull on that. Also use the jack to support a little bit of the suspension weight. Jack it up by the brake heat shield, that's what I did.

    I figured it'd be easy to raise it since the weight would be pulling down. Oh well I'll find out in the morning.

    Got tires, now I just gotta find time to drop the wheels off to get them mounted! They're big and beefy though, 225/50r17 runflat tires haha.
    I'll just get those mounted and then have my friend keep an eye out for something smaller.

    Nothing's changed except I re-dyed my door handles and side trim. (Will be doing them all once more soon. Used forever black)
