Not many mods yet custom exhaust, 20% tint, flat white paint, 03 wrx rims, outback hood, outback front seats, gutted in the back.. soon to have rear strut bar.

Not too sure if I like the rims gold, should I do them white or black?

Here's a little video I made mainly for exhaust sound purposes.. threw in a donut at the end lol

What kind of paint did you use?

Krylon flat white and flat black rattle cans.. I know I know.. lol but the old paint was faded, clear coat was chipping, and I was getting tired of mica ruby red. The paint has held up really good, even with off-road use. Also washes up very easy. If it ever chips, flat white is easy to touch up because you can't notice the imperfections unless the paint runs.. and as long as you know how to spray paint it wont run lol.

Looks pretty good! I had thought about flat white for my wagon too, but wasn't sure. Gives it kind of a HDR look!

I think I might just do it, I had though about it but not be able to see it first kinda threw me off. I found some paint on Amazon for about $150 bucks so I think this was the motivation I needed to pull the trigger :D

You almost can't tell it was rattlecan'd. Maybe the pictures are deceptive?


Either way, not bad at all. And I think you should keep the gold wheels. Gunmetal would look good too.

I gave in and did them white earlier today lol, it makes them look jdm in my opinion.

Get lowered, asap!

I want to so badly! The wheel gap is the only thing that bugs me lol. I have a set of 03 wrx springs off a wagon but I don't think that will lower it to my liking, or lower it at all.. I plan on buying 03 wrx struts and lowering springs for them. That's the cheapest and best way to lower it that I can find. Rather not cut my stock springs lol.
