[deadlydave]

Wow, those look pretty damned sharp. Nice choice :smile: .

[Reason]

The other rims look better. Those golds and style don't look right.

[subaru_terrence]

The other rims look better. Those golds and style don't look right.

this is what I am thinking too.
I am going to sell these gold rims on friday.. I am planning to get some dark bronze rims this time but I dont have any specific model in my mind right now

[Reason]

I have my new video card in. The rims look better than I thought, but the othes still look nicer on the car.

[blackgtbeauty]

http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g25/integra92red/IMG_4515B.jpg

Not a big fan of the gold/red combo, but the darker wheels go better with the amount of black trim and what not you have.

I've always thought a set of Rota P45F's in silver on a BE would look real good.

[WinterKnoll]

Those rims are better in black than gold, but I was in love with the rims you used to have on it.

[Reason]

Those rims are better in black than gold, but I was in love with the rims you used to have on it.

+1

[subaru_terrence]

I WOULD keep those rotas if my RE070 didnt blow off the hwy in the summer...and my rim got damaged so I sold my other 3.

Those rotas were SOO heavy though so I am looking for something lighter.

Well..these enkei rims are sold and I am going to drop them off to someone else on friday. :D

I am thinking to get the bronze 17" work XD9 or XT7 with falken 912 tires.

not too sure yet..but i think dark bronze should look good on my car

what about TE37s? :P

[subaru_terrence]

uploaded some new pics with my winter rims!

[nosbocaj]

Very Nice! I love the color! TE37's would look sick on your car.

[subaru_terrence]

Very Nice! I love the color! TE37's would look sick on your car.

TE37's.......I wonder how much they gonna cost me..

I just bought a set of 17" OZ superleggera few weeks ago. :D
i cant wait till summer to put them on

[subaru_terrence]

SUMMER RIMS ARE ONNNNNN!

[SilentRacer]

Those are really nice. Car's really coming together.

[PA-Outback2000]

cosmetic comment... add a spoiler and paint those black pieces on the door to match the car. just my opinion.

[Airgne]

I LOVE THAT CAR!!!! can we trade? dont pait the trim or add a spoiler. that car was my vote for march. inside pics?

[Reason]

Nice pics!

[Huffer]

I liked the gunmetal rims more than the gold ones. Car looked more VIP then. But overall it's a great looking car!

[subaru_terrence]

added some pics for interior and engine bay...

PA-Outback2000: haha I guess you are the only one telling me to add a spoiler. I thought about a replica syms spoiler but all my buddies told me to stay with wingless

In terms of painting the black trims, too much work..not going to bother...

Huffer: I think I like gunmetal or dark bronze rims more on my car as well but may be I will stay with gold for half summer and see how it goes first

[Airgne]

thanks for interior pics. nice setup, but booty that auto. i get really bored with auto's, and always try to shift. i wish i could find a cobb intake. it is so sexy. if ever want to see let me know plz.

[subaru_terrence]

yeah auto is really boring......

[Airgne]

so yeah about that intake.......

[subaru_terrence]

what about the intake?

Do I want to sell it?

[jjs316]

I love those supperleggeras!

[Airgne]

yeah.

[subaru_terrence]

I dont think I am selling it anytime soon until I sell my car

the cobb intake sounds too good :D

By the way guys.....I joined the nasioc legacy top scoob 007 voting thing...please vote for me haha!

[Huffer]

Spoilers - what about an M3 type lip? I really like the way your car looks. Such a good color and the black strips really break it up nicely.

[subaru_terrence]

Where can I get that type of lip?

But it is sooo thin and doesnt make any big difference.

However, if it is cheap enough, I dont mind trying haha

[Huffer]

it's a cosmetic addon, that I think would look pretty swish.
Ebay has tons of universal ones - just find one that is the same or longer than your trunk lid and cut to match. easy!

[subaru_terrence]

what do you guys think about this one?

http://cgi.ebay.ca/PAINTED-SUBARU-05-07 ... dZViewItem (http://cgi.ebay.ca/PAINTED-SUBARU-05-07-LEGACY-TRUNK-LIP-SPOILER-06_W0QQitemZ110238448590QQihZ001QQcategoryZ33638QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Do you think it will fit nicely?

[Huffer]

Depends on the dimensions, but I say go for it.

[battman]

Lookin' good. Man I wish I could find some seats besides the stock ones! Keep it up!

[subaru_terrence]

I bugged my buddy with a 04 wrx for a while before he sold me the seats haha

[battman]

Yeah, my problem is I am 6' 5", so most of the reasonable seats are a no go unless I want to drive with my head out of the sunroof! :grin:

[subaru_terrence]

WOW! you are VERY tall

I see where the problem is now haha but the wrx seats doesnt really sit higher than stock though

I guess I am just short so I dont see any difference. :P I am only 5' 11"

[sharky nrk]

wow - very nice with the OZs

[Mr. Sociable]

Yeah, my problem is I am 6' 5", so most of the reasonable seats are a no go unless I want to drive with my head out of the sunroof! :grin:

Tell me about it. I'm 6'5" too and autocrosses kill me with a helmet on top of my head. :roll:

Sorry, here's the best pics I have of mine:

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2007/08/HPIM1759-1.jpg

I just bought a generic one on ebay...I forgot which length I bought, I think it was the 43" one...anyway just measure your trunk. I got my unpainted one for $20. I bought a can of matched paint and painted it myself for another $30 (adhesion promoter, paint, clear coat) - I still have the can for use to touch up dings and stuff too.

[subaru_terrence]

nice!

My buddy measured his 07 trunk..it's somewhere near 46.5" and I measured mine..I think it is somewhere around 46" as well.

Is yours a bit too short?
$20 includes shipping!?

[Airgne]

im telling you dont add a wing. leave it plain and spend the money on a tranny swap. still want your intake.

[BE-Fresh]

I agree, and damn your shit is clean!!

[subaru_terrence]

tranny swap!? yeah right....

I might as well trading in my car for LGT or wrx

[Airgne]

aww dont do that. do a swap. not many BE's out there with swaps in the. also if you do trade could i please get your intake. i have been asking everone on the net and looking for one since i got my BE.

[subaru_terrence]

where are you located?

If I find one locally, I can give you a shout

the thing about a swap is the car doesnt worth much $$ after all.

I rather spend the money for a different car with a "proper" colour like white or black than a red -.-

[rougeben83]

nice!

My buddy measured his 07 trunk..it's somewhere near 46.5" and I measured mine..I think it is somewhere around 46" as well.

Is yours a bit too short?
$20 includes shipping!?

That leaves about 1.5" on each side. If you look at the rear end pic, the spoiler doesn't go all the way to each corner...I think it's better that way, it doesn't look so tacked on with it literally overhanging the edge. The biggest thing to a clean install is to lay the spoiler down parallel to the edge of the trunk - I sprayed rubbing alcohol on the lid before I applied the spoiler so it that I can take time to align the spoiler. Otherwise it'll be crooked. $20 shipped.


aww dont do that. do a swap. not many BE's out there with swaps in the. also if you do trade could i please get your intake. i have been asking everone on the net and looking for one since i got my BE.

you can just buy an intake made for an RS (00-01 as those are MAP like our cars). I just sold my AEM CAI to an RS guy actually.

[Airgne]

im in wa your in the state below. also im trying to get a meet going, but only 2 or 3 ppl are intrested. what about you?

[subaru_terrence]

I am in Toronto...so a meet in states doesnt work for me haha

[subaru_terrence]

for the lip...I dont know if I can trust myself to paint it on my own.

Also, I dont think it is worth the money to let someone else paint it for me professionally.

[Airgne]

oh i thought you were in the states. opps. trust me your car is clean as hell without a lip. i would love to have that color car without a lip, but a gt. so if you do trade it could i get that intake. sorry for buggin you. i would love to have your car. hey for rims on your car look at the buddy club p1 racingII's they are sweet. im going to get them.

[subaru_terrence]

alright..you have first dibs on my intake but I dont know when I am going to sell my car haha

funniest thing is, I WAS gonna buy something looks like the buddy club rims as well, however, they are made by 5 zigen.

[Airgne]

these would be perfect. thanks on first dibs. how much if do?

http://passwordjdm.com/Buddy-Club-P-1-R ... 1C227.aspx (http://passwordjdm.com/Buddy-Club-P-1-Racing-II-Plus-Gunmetallic-P1721C227.aspx)

[subaru_terrence]

$150 + shipping? It will come with a K&N filter

the rims are not bad but I think more spokes will actually look nicer on a BE

[rougeben83]

for the lip...I dont know if I can trust myself to paint it on my own.

Also, I dont think it is worth the money to let someone else paint it for me professionally.

Yeah, I just did mine on a whim...it worked out. I also helped that I do a lot of painting with other stuff I do.

it's not a deal breaker, I think your car looks good as it is.

I had thin 5-spokes on my car (rota attacks)...I agree with you, a multispoke/fancier wheel design is a better fit for BE/BH's IMO...

[Huffer]

for the lip...I dont know if I can trust myself to paint it on my own.

Also, I dont think it is worth the money to let someone else paint it for me professionally.

You could leave it black. It would match the side mouldings nicely. But, it's your car - just an idea. :)

[_RM_]

*gobbles up the pics of rougeben's BE*

and...i see you have damage on the rear bumper in the same area as on mine lol

[Airgne]

cool. let me know when your ready. really more spokes. that is what im trying to get away from bbs looking rims. cant stand them.

[subaru_terrence]

i may save my $50 and forget about that lip spoiler...

I still have a list of mods to buy

1) OEM fogs
2) OEM or JDM sideskirts
3) JDM tails
4) JDM rear aprons

[02legacygt]

bro, awesome high rez pics, you should have someone......(me)........make you some backgrounds out of your car!!!

wierd color but it sets off the gold of your rims nice!!!

[subaru_terrence]

yeah i know my red is kinda weird....

If I have a choice again, I dont think I would buy this colour again......

too bad I couldnt resist that $8k off for a brand new car

[Huffer]

If you ever decide to sell, just let me know. ;)
I have a wife who likes that color a LOT.

[subaru_terrence]

this is the FIRST time i have ever heard a girl likes this colour....

i would say ALLLLLLLL of my girl friends hate that red

[Airgne]

i got 2 oem BE fogs in the garage. you need them? trade?

[subaru_terrence]

how bout cash deal? hahaha

do they include any wiring?

[_RM_]

i got 2 oem BE fogs in the garage. you need them? trade?
You have fogs too?! My dad wants some for the 01 BH lol...

[IwannaRally]

where did you find the mesh for your grille? i like it. definately like the darker rims too but those ultra leggeras look just as good.

[subaru_terrence]

those are superleggera's

The grille is DIY...I just went to some ricer shop to buy a sheet of mesh

[henryq89]

omg ur car is so clean man...nice job luv the gold rims on it ... :cool:

[subaru_terrence]

photoshoot with other BE's today :D

[rougeben83]

What bug deflector is that white BE running?

[subaru_terrence]

the stock one that you can get from the dealership

[subaru_terrence]

i finally got a jdm grille and taillights installed!! :D

thanks matt!

pics are in the first post!

[KAG]

So it was YOU who got those tails :twisted:

The car looks great. The yellow fogs and wheels bring it together very nicely.

Put your antenna down!

[subaru_terrence]

hahahahahaa! it's ok..dont get jealous about my tails

PLEASE tell me how can i put my antenna down... that antenna bugs me a lot too!

[KAG]

The guy I bought my car from asked me the same thing. He was like, "no the antenna doesn't go down..." I told him, just watch...sure enough, down it went.

Just start pushing it down in the angle it comes out of. Keep pushing I guess, that's all I can tell you haha.

[subaru_terrence]

i am going to try that RIGHT NOW!!!
give me few mins! hahaha

[subaru_terrence]

DONE!!!

thanks for your tips! i never knew i could put it in..i kinda had to force it

[KAG]

Yeah, definitely wasn't easy, I just hated it up. Looks out of place.

Your radio reception will suck with it down but if you forgot to put it back up when you're driving you can just roll down your window and push it all the way up.

That is...if you're tall enough. :wink:

[Reason]

You don't need to be tall, I can reach mine no problem. Anyway it's a stupid place to put it and it's ugly. I'm taking mine completely off when I get body work done.

Man this car is sharp, and CLEAN :grin:

now you got me jealous....

is it because your BE is 03 and this is why your antenna is embedded in the windshield or you did something else to it ;)

03+ Got that stock I think. I always thought it was standard on all BE's, I didn't realize the earlier ones had the regular antennas until I saw Rockgod's car a few weeks ago...

Look ma, no antenna :wink:
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2008/09/P1060545-1.jpg

[KAG]

All 00-04 GT's had the in-glass antenna. Although, I think what rouge said is right, it became standard in 03.

I was quoted $500 for that windshield. $150 for the regular. I think I'll pass :lol:

[Huffer]

How is the PP6?

[subaru_terrence]

the ppp6 is awesome!

it makes my car so much smoother and it doesnt run lean anymore.

i need to tune it 1 more time after i get my borla headers in

[Payback45]

The pic of your engine bay, the two red discs behind the grille, is that the horn?
if it is how easy was the install? And how much? If not what are they?

[99SUS SFD]

Those are the Hella Supertones. Yes they're the horn.

[subaru_terrence]

i believe i got them for $80 cdn

i am sure you can get them from ebay for cheaper

[Payback45]

Is the install pretty simple? maybe like remove old and put in new kinda simple? Is there a lot of wiring knowhow needed?

[peugoby]

Wow your paint is so deep! How often do you wax that thing?! Weekly? Looks really sharp.

and +1 on the antenna, my L's are the same way. I always roll with them pushed in.

[subaru_terrence]

i pretty much wax my car every week or 2 hahaa

[Payback45]

How much louder are the hellas in side the car?

[subaru_terrence]

inside the car...you wont notice too much difference...but OUTSIDE is a big difference

[Payback45]

are there any laws about having too loud of a horn?

[badbasser98]

The grille really finishes off the front of your car :wink:

[nosbocaj]

Wow terrence, this thing is super clean. Keep up the great work!

[subaru_terrence]

thank you all!!

i swear...after i installed the borla rep. headers, msd coil, re-tune and cf lip...i wont buy anything else for the rest of the year...




hopefully :P

[Reason]

Don't say that! lol Keep buying :-) You plan on getting dyno numbers?

[subaru_terrence]

i thought about it but i dont wanna embarrass myself.

i saw some other guy's bugeye wagon's dyno number and i almost wanted to cry

it has ppp6, automagic, headers, random tech hfc, obx catback, weapon R intake, pulleys and TBS but it only put down somewhere around 125whp and 125 torque

[rougeben83]

i pretty much wax my car every week or 2 hahaa

That's not very good for the paint, actually...

[subaru_terrence]

well..since the weather is pretty crappy in toronto...i havent wax my car for like a month :P but i still wash it every 2 weeks

[evan55]

I'm in Canada too. Where did you buy the super tones from? Also, can you just use the stock horn wiring to hook them up?

[subaru_terrence]

if you are from Toronto, you can get it from budds subaru for $65 + tax i believe.

About the stock wiring part,

you can use the stock wiring...however, you have to extend the stock wiring in order to install the hella horns

[subaru_terrence]

added new pics :D

[deadlydave]

Lookin' good man, when did you get that lip?

[subaru_terrence]

a month ago

[MOLIVA]

WHAT KIND OF LIP IS ON THE RED B4 IN THE PICS ON PAGE 1?

[subaru_terrence]

um.....
dont laugh but it is a type R lip from an integra

[MOLIVA]

WHAT YEAR INTEGRA? IT LOOKS GOOD, Y WOULD I LAUGH. THINKING ABOUT DOING IT TO MINE

[subaru_terrence]

94-97 integra type R lip

[ndto]

98-01 :grin:

[06jax2.5se]

i see that you whore your pictures on here as well as LGT.com! Still looks sweet! i love your red one the most!

[subaru_terrence]

took some quick pics yesterday before i went back to waterloo.
Pics didnt turn out too great :( I guess I shouldnt rush it when i was taking pics

I have the same model Lagacy L in the same colour here in Halifax.

Have to say, this is one of the most beautiful ones I have seen. Thread subscribed to. Just wish my car could look the same someday....

[JLav211]

I still can't get over how low your car looks on the Whiteline Controls. I swear you're dropped a 1/4" lower than I am on the same springs.

Looks great.

[subaru_terrence]

naaa... i dont think so.
I just saw your pics, yours is as low as mine. I guess it just the angles I took pics which make you think mine is lower

[Zac]

Hey just wondering how much you payed for the PP6? Was it hard to tune? Did you notice a power gain?

[subaru_terrence]

Hey just wondering how much you payed for the PP6? Was it hard to tune? Did you notice a power gain?

i got it from my buddy for $250cdn.
The tune was easy and quick. I got it done in 45 min but I have to tune it again since i got headers after.

My engine no longer runs lean because of my cobb CAI, power comes smoother than before.
I think it is slightly better on high end but that just based on my butt dyno... I will probably get a dyno after my tune this summer

Hey just wondering how much you payed for the PP6? Was it hard to tune? Did you notice a power gain?

naaa... I am not tuning it myself. I tried to use some off the shelf maps before i got it tune but they weren't really useful.

I got mine done from Mike from innovative tuning...he came to Toronto for street tune

this is an example but it seems like it is on the expensive side

[Payback45]

Can you give me any info on where you bought it. I really like the way it looks and I would like to look into getting one. If its not to much trouble.

I see what you mean about that ebay item, $20 for the lip $120 for shipping. Thats crap. I would feel better about buying it if it was the other way around.

Ugghhh i would be a lil worried buying from ebay. I mean look at your lip and then look at the ebay lips. They have a little lower section in the center of the lip and yours is even straight across. Hmmm..... Either ebay if different or its like a jdm lip you need. Not really sure.

it didnt specifically say it is designed for 3rd gen legacy but it is designed for any MAP sensor subaru 2.5 NA which includes our generation and some older impreza

What site did you get them from? ANd how much?

[subaru_terrence]

my friend bought them for me from hong kong. Considering the exchange rate was sh*t before, I paid roughly around $150cdn but at least i saved the shipping cost.

I doubt you can find another pair...well..i should say it is tough to find unless you try yahoo japan bid.

Questions... Anyone have a dark bronze wheel pics yet on the red? Where do I find those black fog light inserts to replace my fogs?

[subaru_terrence]

are you referring to these bronze rims? These are all the pics i have since i only had the rims on for 1 hr before i sold them
For the black fog inserts, they came with my car until i bought oem fogs to replace them since mine is the L version. I guess you can either get them through junk yards or dealerships

[STIdarkside]

Love the way your car looks, everything on the car gives it a clean style. A couple questions, what color and type of brake caliper paint did you use and how well has it held up? Also do you have any issues with the o2 sensor code from having borla headers and catback exhaust? Thank you very much for the info...

[subaru_terrence]

The caliper paint is some sort of dark gold colour. It is some jdm paint but I am out of town so I won't able to check till couple days later. It is the brush type of paint. I've had the paint for over 3 years and it been through the nasty winter but the paint is still holding well. Only few stone chips from driving but overall it's still looking good
I do have the code from the headers every once in a while when I am cruising on the hwy. Since I have a scangauge II in my car, I just clear the code quickly while driving

Your interior looks almost the same as my interior, seats and all, before I removed that 3M vinyl. Its good stuff, and looks awesome, but I had someone install it for me. Although they did a good job in the beginning it started to peel back in the places that it didn't adhere to properly because it was stretched too much when it was installed.

[stu-nami]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/

Not a big fan of the gold/red combo, but the darker wheels go better with the amount of black trim and what not you have.

I've always thought a set of Rota P45F's in silver on a BE would look real good.

Where did you get that grill at or what style is it by chance???...I know this one in the pic is diff than the red l7 one in your others....

One other question is how did you get your headlights so crystal clear??...iv3 been nervous to pop out the orange in mine but that looks like what you had to do...can you tell me how you did it???

[subaru_terrence]

wow this grille and pic were long time ago....

it is a custom grille i made by cut off everything with the stock grille, bondo, put mesh behind and badge.

look up the DIY section for the orange piece. I polish my headlights every once in a while to make them look clear

To Buru in the Burgh:
No, no cutting is required to fit the cobb muffler
It is an integra lip and it is on pretty solid. However, you have to be careful when you go in and out parking

['Buru in the Burgh]

Link for the integra lip? I'm not worried about parking, I'll be careful with that. I do drive on a few rough roads and I'm wondering how it would hold up if the bottom of the lip nicks the ground a few times a week.

[subaru_terrence]

i hv no link for you bro... you just gotta go to whatever local store that you guys have over there and pick one up

depends on the material that you are getting, the lip might crack if you scrape it hard. I went through couple lips this summer...dont ask me how

['Buru in the Burgh]

the one you showed me specifically wont work...

you have to make sure the lip that you are buying will have a piece flat out on top so that you can put screws through the lip to the bottom of your bumper

[subaru_terrence]

I am thinking to either spray bomb or powdercoat these black rims back to gold

[rougeben83]

You can probably get gold rims and sell those as they stand and not be in the red too much.

I liked the gold combo better also.

what color code is your car? 18x?

[ScaryFatKidGT]

Are those seats way more contoured than the USDM seats or do they just look like it? And do you know what your putting down with that tune? You already have a ECU you should do CAMS! and you only need 2!

[subaru_terrence]

may be? i think so... its the regatta red

the seats are more contoured and more supportive than usdm in my opinion...

I never got it dyno'ed after the tune. My car will put back to stock in the beginning of next year so no more mods!!! :smt019 well... at least i will try not modding hahaa

['Buru in the Burgh]

Yeah thats 18x...same as mine.

Yours always looks more red than mine haha

[subaru_terrence]

i spent a LOT of time to polish and wax my car to bring out the red.

Also, choosing a right wax is very important too! different wax or sealant will bring out slightly different red

['Buru in the Burgh]

yeah mine kind of shines through more purple late in the evening...

getting that sucker repainted after winter is over though, still going with 18x. I'll take better care of the paint then : )

[subaru_terrence]

Well I found a new shot for the calendar!

['Buru in the Burgh]

The HDR looks the best (obviously) but with me being a photographer and whatnot, I hate them. But for cars and such that seems like the popular option to go with when photographing them.

Not really feeling the lugnuts. Why aqua? And don't do mudflaps! Someone just did mudflaps on their BE on here and it looks like hell.

oh ya? what type of photographer are you?

This is my first time taking HDR shots. Personally, I dont like HDR either simply because they dont look real. However, I was just trying to prove someone else if I wanted to take HDR, I could do it too! :P Hence, I only took 1 shot.
My main focus is still doing rig shots for my clients and friends.

You dont like those blue lug nuts? When I had the black ones on, the car looked so plain with black rims and nuts. Yeah, I am not quite sure with the mudflaps either but I got these rally armor ones for free. :D May be i will only run them in the winter since I will put my car back to stock anyway.

['Buru in the Burgh]

I do weddings, senior portraits, and lifestyle photography.

Yes I agree with the fake look of HDR I honestly hate it so much and people that are ignorant to photography think they're so cool. It's ok though, all opinion on everything and I respect that.

I think it would have been better if you went with Regatta Red lugs, you can get the 18x color code paint in spray form from Subaru for cheap. Or maybe match them with the calipers? There just isn't any other blue on the car, IMO it looks really tacky.

Just my .02, love your car though!

[Cervantes]

man, your car is the business! really digging the color....the gold rims and the black rims really set it off.

[rougeben83]

I still like the gold wheels better.

[STIdarkside]

I really want your headlights... I need to clear mine and get some of those turn signal bulbs...

[STIdarkside]

Quick question regarding the silverstar turn signals, do they last just as long as the stock amber bulbs? Also where is the best place to buy them, seems like no parts stores have them in stores... Thanks

Oh, are you still going back to stock or did you have a change of heart, it would be sad to see this project end.

[subaru_terrence]

I've been running the solaris chrome bulbs for a while... You can buy normal silver bulbs on ebay.

I am pretty sure I will put the car back to stock sooner or later...either in jan or a little later in spring

I thought you had the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs... How do you like the Solaris bulbs?

[subaru_terrence]

Solaris last a long time but they aren'tthat bright

[STIdarkside]

I think I'm gonna pick up two sets for the headlights... Since you say they aren't that bright, are they close enough to stock that it isn't that noticeable?

[subaru_terrence]

Barely noticeable during daytime...pretty weak

[STIdarkside]

Hmmm, that's kinda disappointing, how about at night?

[subaru_terrence]

Seriously, even at night...I think they are pretty bad.
You know how we have 2 bulbs on each side. The top one I use half chrome and half visible. It is much brighter than the solaris on the bottom

Yeah I know we have 2 bulbs on each side, where did you buy the half chrome half visible (i'm assuming that means you see some amber) bulbs? Thanks for the info

[subaru_terrence]

mine is actually white instead of amber.... MUCH brighter...

i seriously cant remember where i got them anymore.

No worries, I think I am gonna try the Stealth Auto Bulbs, they seem to get very good reviews... Thanks for the info.

[subaru_terrence]

i just realized i never showed you guys how clean my engine bay was :D
the only change I have is I replaced the air filter box since the old one was cracked badly
