Nice clean car! I really like the headlights

[subaru13]

Thanks man I try hard to keep it looking how it is.

[hallowpoint]

i like the way those wheels look on your car.

[subaru13]

Yeah I was really unsure when i got them because of the offset but I think that the offset is what makes them look so good since they are super flush.

I love white BDs. Yours is super clean and I love how subtle the exhaust looks.

And why do you want to do a trans swap? Are you running a slushbox?

[ESSYMOND]

looks really good,

you should paint your sideskirts

1996 battle wagon- Yeah I am running a slush box but probably around next year I plan on doing a trans swap with JDM piece so I can get that lsd in the rear.

Essymond- I have thought about painting my side skirts and rear and another sli member just told me about a website were apparently they can paint match your car and send you almost like a spray can off it so I think I will be doing that as soon as I get some time.

I decided to try and paint my headlight housing corners orange so I went to the local craft store and bought some of that orange stained glass spray paint. When I tested out the paint it ended up being way more yellow than orange. So I decided that since I had the paint I might as well use it so I did my fogs.

After doing my fogs it made my headlights go to shame because the sun was starting to yellow them and I really hate when they get that yellow tint on my headlights. So I went and bought some of clear gloss spray paint with UV protection and it really brought my headlights back to life and will keep them from yellowing.

Top is the painted and polished one and bottom is before
