Spy's '04 BE

[unsullied_spy]

Finally getting around to putting up a page for my car. Bought it December of '09 with 47k on the clock and as of 10/21/12 I'm at 86k (and about $3k in keeping the thing running...) It was a 1 owner California car that was "totalled" in a front-end collision and then bought and fixed up by one of my Dad's friends that fixes up wrecked Subarus down there. Needed a bumper cover, hood, grill, and a headlight and they totalled it, good for me!

My car's first winter:

It came with the rear windows tinted 20% and the TSW wheels, not sure which model. The finish on the wheels wasn't the greatest when I got it and the winter killed off what was left.

Dirty even after a bath, but a good pic:

Finished the tint, 20% all the way around:

Just took these pics the other day after retrofitting some HID projectors into the headlights, painted the reflector buckets and turn signal area the same color as the car (Mystic Dark Blue, code 17X). I left the ring around the lights chrome and I really like the way it looks, it continues the look with the stock grill IMO. Also got some JDM tail lights for it and showing those off.

In the last pic you can see my aftermarket fog lights (which actually work in fog, unlike the stock ones) and the Hella Twin Super Tones pearing through the grill.

Interior is stock except for the sound system:
Alpine CDE-103 (I think) HU
Boston Acoustics SE-60 components in the front using factory tweeter pods for the aftermarket tweeters
Some cheap Pioneer 2 way Coax rear speakers, TS-G series I believe
Rockford Fosgate BR300 4 channel amp for the speakers with 16 awg speaker wire run to the doors
Kenwood KFC-3012 and 3013 12" subwoofers (one 3012 blew out and they didn't make them anymore, so I got a 3013 as a replacement)
Boston Acoustics GTA-800m sub amp
Rockford Fosgate 10 farad hybrid cap

Exterior:
JDM tail lights
Bi-Xenon projector headlights
Wheels

Suspension:
Stock

Engine:

All show no go, just a daily driver with a little personal touch.

Hmm, Steven from Bozeman, MT with an 04 Legacy L SE sedan 5 spd. Not sure what else I need to put here to avoid getting locked...

Thanks! I figured the car's already been designed once, might as well just work with what's already there.

What, exactly, am I missing? :-?

[chrish8r]

I love those wheels!! Do you happen to know what kind they are??

And those headlights are sick, did you retrofit them?

[Blitzen_wishin]

Car looks nice.. Are the tinted tails plug and play or is there any re-wiring needed? Thanks.

[rougeben83]

like the retrofit, looks clean. Maybe wouldnt have painted the turnsignal reflectors but to each his own.

JDM smoked tails are a direct fit, no rewiring needed. They do use different bulbs however, so you just need to keep that in mind when replacing them.

[Blitzen_wishin]

Great, thanks a ton. any idea on the bulb number?

[rkrenicki]

I made a thread for just such a question.
