latest purchase
suspension (to be added later)

[peugoby]

Nice Legacy! What kind of wheels are those? They remind me a lot of the original Advan Touring Competition's (TC) I used to have

[Cervantes]

thanks, glad you like. those are just so Kezera wheels, nothing too expensive. i thought they would look good on my car with that red trim around the outside. i'll have my suspension in sometime next week, so ill post pictures once i get it lowered.

[Cervantes]

dropped it 30mm today...which is just over an inch

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/06/IMG_0296-1.jpg

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/06/IMG_0295-1.jpg

[Cervantes]

no feedback? likes? dislikes? tips?

[Yamazaki]

Well, I personally like the Blitzen wheels better. But if you tinted the headlights and side blinkers, I think that'd look pretty hot.

[Cervantes]

im pretty much a noob...how would i go about doing something like that?

[Yamazaki]

ha ha, to be honest I have no idea. I just thought it'd look really cool, like some of the totally blacked-out Chasers around here.

[Cervantes]

theres a shop where i go buy most of my parts. if its available, im sure he would know.

[swiftman007]

Nice car!! wish we had those blitzen version over here :(

[Cervantes]

thank you, i love that car!

[Cervantes]

finally got the exhaust put on....it sounds so damn nice. i need to find a good place to take some better pictures though...

About the headlight tintig, you can spray them with black acrylic paint and clear coat. OR use the headlight film.

[Cervantes]

thats awesome, thanks. if i do it, im going with the film.

[Cervantes]

i smoked out the side markers and headlights...wasnt hard, but it was more work than i though

[Sambo]

DUde super Clean ! Love the "murdered out look" wish blacked out headlights were legal in cali :/

[Cervantes]

thanks! to be honest with you, im not sure if they are here. if theyre not, i can peel off it off and pay another $20 for a new set. JCIs are only every 2 years, i dont need to do mine for another year.

[DarkPhoenix]

Love the car, but I don't know how I feel about the wing. That is the factory wing, right?

[Legacy89]

thanks! to be honest with you, im not sure if they are here. if theyre not, i can peel off it off and pay another $20 for a new set. JCIs are only every 2 years, i dont need to do mine for another year.

Just get a spare set of headlights ;)

[Yamazaki]

Yeah, don't worry about the legality. It's only an issue when you go for inspection. It looks absolutely awesome too.
@ DarkPheonix: yes, that's a factory spoiler. It doesn't get in the way in the rear view mirror at all; I like it!

[Cervantes]

the spoiler is hate or love...any feedback is welcomed

[DarkPhoenix]

DarkPheonix: yes, that's a factory spoiler. It doesn't get in the way in the rear view mirror at all; I like it!

Okay, I wasn't sure if there was a function behind the form. That makes a lotta sense.

[Cervantes]

Yeah, don't worry about the legality. It's only an issue when you go for inspection. It looks absolutely awesome too.
@ DarkPheonix: yes, that's a factory spoiler. It doesn't get in the way in the rear view mirror at all; I like it!


thanks! i really like it too.

[Yamazaki]

That's awesome! You have any front pics?

[Cervantes]

thanks, it was too nice if a day not to finally get some pictures. i just had to figure out where to do it. i didnt take any pics from the front, but i could take some if you need them.

[deadlydave]

Awesome ride. I'm not a big fan of the red lips...that look is really common on less awesome cars around me.

I have a Blitzen exhaust tip sitting on my workbench. If I recall correctly, Porsche designed the revised bodywork and spoiler for that car, so the wing is like that for a reason.

[Cervantes]

thank you. i went with the red lip because i thought it would look good with the taillights and the calipers (when i finally get them, theyll be red).

i have my Blitzen stock exhaust from the cat back sitting in one of my closets. ive kept all stock parts once i've upgraded them, to include the radio.

[MRLancaster]

I wonder if that front bumper would fit an 00 Legacy Outback....Anyone know?

[Airgne]

did you smoke them with spray?

[Legacy89]

That's black Film.

[Cervantes]

did you smoke them with spray?


i used the film, i wanted the option to get them back to clear if i had to in a hurry. i may be getting a new set off headlights if i can find them for cheap.

[Cervantes]

additions to the family....still need to be put on

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/07/IMGP1525-1.jpg

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2010/07/IMGP1534-1.jpg

calipers need a little bit of love, but once theyre painted and get mounted...its going to look pretty nice

[Airgne]

you will love those brakes, need go get the 2 pots for the back.

[Cervantes]

yeah, thats my goal.

[Cervantes]

finished product

[Cervantes]

thanks! it'll be a few months before i finish everything, but its nice having small projects to work on. my gf is excited too, shes been helping me out with painting and things like that.

['Buru in the Burgh]

Where did you get that wing from? It's really fresh, never seen one like that before!

[Yamazaki]

That's a factory wing for that car ('00-'01 Blitzen).

[Cervantes]

YamazakiSubaru is selling one if youre interested :smt023

[Cervantes]

Added the Hella Horns and some red lug nuts. I also bought a 15 row oil cooler and have my gauges, and calipers waiting to be mounted. I may get new brake discs, brakes, and the rear calipers before I install the calipers.

Finally got the oil cooler installed, but they had to move the horns to make it work.

[Airgne]

i just wish they had made american interior that black

[Yamazaki]

I'm liking the oil cooler.

[Cervantes]

15 row oil cooler with an oil relocator for like $320 + shipping

['Buru in the Burgh]

I love your car so much.

Looking good as always

[Cervantes]

thank you! almost done!

[Cervantes]

just ordered my downpipe and midpipe....oooh man, can't wait!

[Cervantes]

ok...finally got my car back, and running. i'll post a video of my mean ass exhaust tomorrow

['Buru in the Burgh]

yay!

also where did you get that gauge hosing from?

[Cervantes]

i got it from glow gauge, but it had to get cut here and there

[Cervantes]

bad video...i'll get a better one later

Very nice!

[Cervantes]

thank you! :grin:

['Buru in the Burgh]

yeah it sounds really good!

[Cervantes]

thanks, i think the mic is on the bottom of the cam so it didnt get the sound. i'm going to try and get a better one later.

['Buru in the Burgh]

what muffler is that?

[Cervantes]

its a custom made muffler

[02_Legacy]

its a custom made muffler
?? like you gutted out another muffer? or what? care to explain...

[Cervantes]

i went to an exhaust place and they made it there. theyve made my entire exhaust from the turbo, to my catback.

['Buru in the Burgh]

Just out of curiosity do you remember what kit you used to smoke your lights? I got one that allows 78% visibility, didn't know if yours had a meter or anything on it. I'm debating on weather or not to remove the yellow reflector before I tint.

[Cervantes]

i used one like this, but i cant seem to find one for the 2000 legacy right now

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-04- ... 4831b9c440 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-04-SUBARU-LEGACY-HEADLIGHT-FOG-SMOKED-TINT-COVERS-/310071903296?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4831b9c440)

i'm not sure how much visibility i have percentage wise, but i know i'm going to get HIDs due to not being able to see that well when it rains at night. the kit i have came with the film for the side marker lights. it was fairly simple to apply, but i did have to do some cutting to make it fit right. for the price, you cant go wrong.

['Buru in the Burgh]

"Tinted at only 17%. Allows 83% of light passage. Smooth, glossy, and consistent color throughout the entire piece."

I wonder if it's the same...

Hmmmm I guess we'll just see how dark mine really are when they go on haha. I'm getting HID's too

[Cervantes]

they look like the same one i used, and it really lowered my visibility.

[Cervantes]

['Buru in the Burgh]

Jesus. I would love to have that. Let's date lolololol

[Cervantes]

just put the mines tuned ECU in today. i can tell a difference, but i havent been able to push it because i dont have my boost controller in and i'm boosting too high.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/01/IMGP2459-1.jpg

:shock:

Want.

[aznguy0087]

wow keep up the awesome work!!! i love the blitzen models!!!

['Buru in the Burgh]

I still love your car so much

[Cervantes]

i put blue LEDs in, i just need to take a picture of it. i have a new boost controller and sequential controller i need to get installed.

[Cervantes]

here's some pictures with the new LED lights. I still need to change the ones on the A/C, but they didn't have any when i went.

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/02/IMGP2462-1.jpg

[02_Legacy]

looks good, I have to do that to my car sometime.

[Cervantes]

thanks. it was a must for my car. for some reason, the lights were an awful dull green

[Soul Shinobi]

I believe that's "My Japanese Economy Car Is Just Like Everyone Else's Green".

[Cervantes]

my B4 came with some pretty lights...

[dodik]

are you going to change the color of a/c display too or just the buttons?

[Cervantes]

i just got that done today =D

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/02/IMGP2467-1.jpg

i also moved the cd deck right below the A/C to make it look nicer


EDIT - i just reread what you said. i'm probably going to leave the display the same color, unless i feel froggy. i'm not sure what size bulbs i would need to do that.

[dodik]

i dont think you'll need anything when i removed the lens not sure but i think the display itself was white and it was just the lens that was green

[Cervantes]

so theres some kind of green plastic overlay or something like that? if i was going to get that deep into the a/c unit, i might as well just change the bulbs.

[dodik]

yes the front lens comes off its just glued on and i cant remember if it is just black tint or dark green,
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2007/08/SNV33078-1.jpg
i cant find a pic of the a/c display without lens but here although small you can see headunit's face without lens
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2007/08/SNV33068-1.jpg

[Cervantes]

ah, i understand now. i think after i stop being tired of messing with it, i may try to change that out next. thanks for the tip.

[Cervantes]

here's my latest, about to pain them red

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/02/IMGP2468-1.jpg

[Legacy89]

What bulbs did you use for the speedo and the AC buttons?
I need new ones for my speedo, waay to dark. Can't see the damn needels. And all the buttons on the AC is dark.

[Cervantes]

i just used some LEDs they sell at autobacs (japanese store). most should work, just check for fitment. if i can find the exact name ( i threw away the case), ill let oyu know.

http://www.jcwhitney.com/colored-dome-l ... 03652.jcwx (http://www.jcwhitney.com/colored-dome-light-bulbs/p2003652.jcwx)

http://www.ledshoponline.com/automotive ... d_bulb.htm (http://www.ledshoponline.com/automotive_dashboard_bulb.htm)


theres a couple of places to get you started on your research

[Legacy89]

The speedo ones is ok, i know they are T10 just wondering about what manufacturer and color you used.
The AC is my main problem, how do i take it out, and what sockets/bulbs are in it.

[Cervantes]

i used blue and the size was just medium. next time i go to autobacs i'll get the name for you.

the a/c is really easy to do. just work from the shifter up. take that off, make sure you get the screws above the ashtray, theyre really hard to notice if you dont know what youre looking for, and from then on you just unclip and unscrew. its really pretty easy once you get it in front of you.

[Cervantes]

Are you going to finish up the calipers with white over the raised lettering? :smile:

[Cervantes]

I'm just leaving it as is.

[Cervantes]

i got the Blitz boost controller put in, some 10K HIDs, rotors, brakes and calipers put on. my girl and i put in some serious work today. first time i do anything dealing with the brake system...

don't mind the dirty car, i'll post some when i get it cleaned up

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/02/IMGP2479-1.jpg

putting in the HIDs

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/02/IMGP2477-1.jpg

[Cervantes]

ok so here is some feedback on the boost controller, 4 pots and Mine's ECU

the boost controller is really accurate. lots of boost setting and very easy to use.

the Mines's ECU is awesome! consistent boost, excellent acceleration, smooth boosting, and overall the car just feels great. if anyone gets a chance to find one of these on ebay or anywhere else, it's a great investment.

the 4 pot calipers look really pretty on the car, but the performance lacks. my stock caliper, rotor, and brake combination felt much better. the stock calipers had greater stopping power. i did it mostly for eye candy, and i'm not out on the track, so theyll work.

i have the 2 pot adapters on the way, so once they arrive, i'll get them installed. i also have a new clutch on the way, which should help with the cars performance. pretty excited about that.

Something went wrong then. I've felt the difference between your stock brakes (on another '00 Blitzen, no less!) and the 4/2pot setup. The 4/2pot setup is clearly better.

And these guys all give them 5 stars (there were more, but I figured 10 got my point across):

[Cervantes]

i'm thinking it might be the rotors then....the rotors arent the best quality. after a while i may just give in and get a better set.

[Yamazaki]

Pads make a difference too. I'd make sure you had some good pads first.

[Cervantes]

i ordered the hawk pads you recommended. i havent done the 2 pot rears yet because i'm waiting on the adapters so i can put them on. i'll see what difference that makes.

[Cervantes]

here's some crappy pics i took and a video

[Airgne]

when i installed my 4/2pot calipers(and put the rear on the right sides) the car stopped like there was no tomorrow. my right front will lock for a second until the abs pump gets caught up.get good rotors and pads, even stock rotors and pads from a impreza will suprise you.

[Cervantes]

i'm thinking about just going OEM, since the rotors are slightly bigger than the ones I have now.

['Buru in the Burgh]

I love everything about this car so very much, except for the placement of the oil cooler + hella horns. Just looks way off balance to me.

I say move the Hellas down into each bumper cut-out, that would look badass.

[Soul Shinobi]

Maybe you need to rebleed the brakes?

i feel the same way...ive been looking to see where i can put the horns at, but no luck. i'll keep looking around to see where i can move them to.

im going to do that this afternoon, i think it might need it

this would look meeeeannnnn

[Cervantes]

i think they would get really weather beaten down there, but i'll look into it. if i was to do that, ill have to get longer wires.

['Buru in the Burgh]

You could always take the cages off and add a few more layers of paint and a protection coat.

Just an idea, I've been meaning to tell you that for a while, I think it would be really unique.

['Buru in the Burgh]

Heyyyy you should do me a favor and buy my side marker tint I have for sale!

haha : )

[Cervantes]

i just got the clear lights put on and put the tinted ones on the B4

['Buru in the Burgh]

damn, foiled again lol

[Cervantes]

got my new clutch...now i just need to find a place to install it...since i have no idea where to even begin

[Legacy89]

Remove the Header and exhaust as far as needed, Remove front wheels and take out the axels, remove shifter and drop the transmission.
Remove the clutch and bearing. Install new clutch and bearing. Be carefull with the bolts to the flywheel and tighten them evenly.
A crowbar between the intake manifold and block to pry the engine back eases the removal/instalation of the transmission, just remember to remove the pitch stop.

Tough it may be more to remove.
I used about 8 hours over a weekend.

Also when you are at it, check the flywheel bearing and change the fluids, check the splines for rust/damage.

[Cervantes]

whew...sounds like a serious job...

[Legacy89]

It is, but i can tell you, if you have a garage you can do it in with lifts and a transmissionjack it makes it alot easier.
We used 6-8 hours with 2 jackstands, a jack and basic metric handtools.

[Cervantes]

I live in japan, so no garage here

[mike-tracy]

I live in japan, so no garage here

The auto hobby shop, or whatever the Army calls it, won't let you perform it there? I had to do an emergency clutch job on Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, while on a trip to Nebraska. Had to leave it overnight, too. Other than the staff being douches, I had no problems. It was real nice to have access to a lift, tranny jack and every tool I could use for once.

[Cervantes]

That's normally where I do my own work at. Not sure about this place letting me keep my car there over night if I needed to. Plus, that kind of project makes me nervous...

[Legacy89]

If you start early and have a friend or two to help you can have it done in a day.
We just split it up because we started drinking while we swapped it.

Don't know how much experience you have with mechanical stuff. The hardest part is getting the transmission in and out.

[Cervantes]

i dont have much experience with mechanics, but if i had a friend to help me, i would def try it

[Legacy89]

Just get the tourque specs and youll be fine. All needed for this kind of job is patience, tools and elbowgrease :)

i want that rear bumper! lol

[Soul Shinobi]

It looks so premium. :grin: For some reason I feel like it needs aftermarket mirrors now, especially with the outrageous wing style. Some mirrors with the flow-through mounts would match the wing. :smile:

[Cervantes]

i want that rear bumper! lol


i need to replace it. they have tire stoppers on parking spots, and one of them was so tall, it caught my bumper and it cracked in 2 places :smt022

[Cervantes]

i just got done putting in the stuff i got from Red Line. The black/red stitch arm rest, and the black/red stitch shift boot. the steering wheel cover is also black/red stitching, but its made out of a different material.

EDIT - the shift knob is Razo and the steering wheel cover i bought at Autobacs.

i really dont want to do much to the body style. i want it to keep the same stock blitzen look, but with minor changes to make it stand out. good idea though :smt023

[Legacy89]

Why didn't you get the E-brake boot?
Want your center bezel. I have single DIN, limits my choises in multimediaplayers.

[Cervantes]

I didn't want to go overboard with it. I wanted to see what it would look like first. Maybe at a later time I'll get it. Right now in trying to get the big projects out the way because I have a baby due in September. One that happens all my focus will be on that.

[02_Legacy]

Are your lug nuts pink or is it just the camera, becuase I think they would look better red.
But otherwise your care is pure awsomeness :smt023

[Cervantes]

theyre supposed to be red, but for some reason they look pink...im either going to paint them or change them

[Cervantes]

Why didn't you get the E-brake boot?
Want your center bezel. I have single DIN, limits my choises in multimediaplayers.
I don't really remember what it use to look like stock. I think the stock deck use to take up 2 of those spaces. You really only have 1 slot there?

[Legacy89]

One DIN slot, three buttons (Cruise control, wiper defrost, and a Fog-light switch) A small pocket and the HVAC.

[02_Legacy]

One DIN slot, three buttons (Cruise control, wiper defrost, and a Fog-light switch) A small pocket and the HVAC.
I looked through your member ride thread of a pic of the center bezal but I couldn't find one, but in any case you probably can remove the pocket and get a double DIN.

*edit* I just read that you said a small pocket, i'm assuming that it is less than the size of a single DIN in which it wouldn't work. But if it is the size of a DIN pocket it still should work.

OK sorry to get off topic.

[BigWillieStyles]

Car looks terrific. Some late model bullet style headlights with eyelids would look mean!


I live in japan, so no garage here

when I lived in Japan, I always worked on the car in the street :)

[Cervantes]

Unfortunately I don't have much space to work with. I have a parkinglot which is full or cars.

[rougeben83]

One DIN slot, three buttons (Cruise control, wiper defrost, and a Fog-light switch) A small pocket and the HVAC.

The small pocket is your 2nd DIN slot. The space inside is a little smaller but the face itself can accomodate a 2nd DIN like the 2-DIN McIntosh Stereo...

[Legacy89]

Nah, the pocket is not like yours, it's smaller than DIN and is not movable because the bezel is formed like it is.
This is what i have minus the AT. http://cache.finn.no/mmo/1/236/346/41_1313070245.jpg

[CarlitoQC]

Awesome car but the wheels are major visual downgrade, MAJOR!

[Cervantes]

Really? Only thing I don't like about the wheels is the silver. I didn't notice they weren't solid black until I got them in the mail.

['Buru in the Burgh]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2011/03/konig_zero_black_lg_super-1.jpg

rock these next!

[Cervantes]

thats exactly what i was expecting!


i finally got my ACT clutch put in....what a difference. i killed the car when i picked it up pulling out the parking spot! :oops: :lol: the initial acceleration has increased tremendously, and the overall acceleration is smoother. i havent been able to really get on it, so i'll post about that at a later time. the car's response while accelerating really seems to have increased over all also.

[Cervantes]

i finally got a chance to really get on it. with the new clutch, it feel like the VOD is gone. there doesnt seem to be a delay between the 2 turbos. i still have the sequential controller i wanted to get installed, but i dont know if it'll even make a difference now.

[Airgne]

so i will be in kadena maybe tomorrow. i dont know when, but i will be there. i need a stiff drink if you are up for it. i have to leave my family in yokohama. my phone number is in my signature.

[Cervantes]

That's pretty crappy...at a time like this? Hit me up when you get settled and we can get that drink. My number is 090-6568-5968.

[Airgne]

I will not be coming. Have no clue what is going on.

[Cervantes]

Ah, ok. I called you up last night, but got no answer.

[Airgne]

Didn't get a call.

[Cervantes]

wonder if I dialed the number right....?

[Cervantes]

been MIA for a while, haven't done too much to my car, except tore up my bumper. just got an awesome dead on an HKS F-Con S. It still needs to be tuned, but i tried it out, and the response on my car is awesome! It also seems to be running smoother.

I scored a set of Cusco adjustable coilovers for $120! Finished putting them on today and I still need to lower the front a little to get it to sit the way I want it to.

it's been a while, but i've been busy with work, wife, and a new baby. here are some updates to what i've done to the car. more pictures of the interior coming soon.

out in a circulating kit on the BOV, car runs much better. installed a ground/earth kit...didn't believe the hype, but the car has become more responsive and my stereo is louder. put on a strut brace and also a front under brace,

Holy cow what is up with that rear view mirror, its so huge and square.

[Cervantes]

when you have to maneuver around these tight roads and parking lots, they really come in handy. i think almost every car here has a bigger mirror.

[Cervantes]

got the car remapped....big difference....waiting on my damn rims so i can be that much closer to being done. i need to take the car to the shop to have them check the car over. i an exhaust leak that i can't seem to fix myself, and i want them to look over the car to make sure there's nothing else wrong.

i also got rid of my BOV and went back to the stock BPV. only difference i notice is when the car is idling, the car seems to idle a little smoother.

[Cervantes]

It's been a while since I've dated because of the issues I've had with my car. Here are some some pics of what's been going on lately with the help of JPANB4 from a different forum. He made the air intake, which has worked awesome so far. The car feels like it's breathing better, the throttle response seems better, and it just looks a lot nicer! He is also helping me put in my FMIC in the next few weeks. Once that's done, I'll finish replacing all the vacuum lines.

You still in Okinawa I been seeing your car from time to time around the island. I got the blue dumped B4 with the gold rims and tinted tails that used to have the sti spoiler which is thank god in the closet now. Curious about a few things like the shop you got your down pipes made. All us Oki guys should meet up sometime. We could all help each other and learn I also use to be a ASE mechanic and mech in the army prior to going signal. Always loved your car tho man.

[Cervantes]

Thanks! The downpipes are aftermarket, Zerosport. I had tried to get something going before, but people always back out last minute. I'm always down to trade knowledge, and I'm free on the weekends to do it. Pm me if you want to get together, I am in serious need of an outside perspective on the sound coming from my downpipes.

The Blitzen bumper really isn't made for a FMIC lol.

I've seen one modded nicely by cutting a hole in the middle that matches the style of those on the sides, looked factory.

This car is getting serious!

BTW did you just spray the engine cover with a can? I've seen one for sale before that was the exact same colour.

[Cervantes]

I was thinking about getting a hole cut in the bumper, but that's still up in the air. I just bought paint from Make-man and spray painted the cover.

I really need to get it remapped, it's running like shit.

[Cervantes]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2012/05/grill-1.jpg

[Yamazaki]

Whoa, I'm kinda surprised. I didn't think carving up the C type Blitzen bumper would look good, but it actually does. Nice job once again.

[hansvonaxion]

I can't really tell what you did, did you cut out a section and caver it in mesh? Need more pics!

[Cervantes]

It was a 3 step process. I had the hole cut out, but I didn't want just a plain boring square, so we gave it a different shape. I bought some mesh, and painted it black. Finally, I got something that would black it out even more and put it behind the mesh.

Thanks. It took some time to convince myself to do it. I honestly didn't want to do it, and once I did it, I didn't stop working on it until I liked it.


I really want to do the same thing where the pipes are at, but that's going to be very difficult.

[jaster72]

Do you know how much lower your car sitting compared to the original height, just trying to get a gauge on how much I want to lower my car. It all looks awesome by the way.

[Cervantes]

I really don't know. I have coilovers and just adjust lowered it to where I wanted. I think the springs I had in the past lowered the car 33mm.

[swervo]

Wow, just read through all the pages. Great job man. I'd really like to meet up if you're up to it. I'm getting my B4 on Monday and would like some tips and pointers on how to fix it up. I'm a noob to these cars, so any help would be appreciated.

[Cervantes]

That would be fine. I'm on leave starting tomorrow, so just message me. We can meet up if I'm not roaming the island away from my house.

I have been admiring your car for a while now. Every mod is done tastefully and looks clean. Yamazaki got my hooked on those Blitzens when I was at his place. So much more to them then just the normal BE's.

I do think that you should take the wing off though... Just because I want it! HAHA! I love those things just because they are so odd looking! :smt023

And those wheels, I would also like a set...

It's so aggressive! Do you plan to black out your front-mount and piping?
And I'm a little surprised to see that your friend spent the money for some nice wheels on an RS. RSK I can understand, but an RS...?

[Cervantes]

He bought it for a grand and spent a grand to fix it. It came with the wheels when he bought it. I thought about blacking out the intercooler and piping, but I haven't felt like taking the bumper off. I'm not sure if I would have to prep the pipes prior to painting them black either.

[hansvonaxion]

That bumper looks like some skimpy, see-through panties over that front mount.

[Pfgregory8]

Your car is sick...congrats

Use a little bit of Scotch Bright, wash with car wash soap and water, final prep with wax and grease remover, then paint... Pretty easy and that would definitely clean the front up!

I still love the way it looks ether way! :smt023 Still want your wing! LOL

[Cervantes]

If I get some motivation, I may do it.
