Very nice. I see you love your vinyl work. What are your near-future plans for it?

And JDM tails included? That's awesome man!

[dodik]

nice ride how did you get that scoop in there i have my scoop laying on the shelf waiting for warmer weather. do you have any pics of the install process?

[SilentRacer]

Very nice. I see you love your vinyl work. What are your near-future plans for it?

And JDM tails included? That's awesome man!

Those are EDM not JDM.

[02legacygt]

Um no i have no install pics im sorry, um but it was really easy, if that helps!

and im sorry about the taillights, EDM, JDM, USDM, CDN, ADM,

SOOO MANY "dm's"

I just thought it was cool that they where different, and the fact an edlery couple owned the car before me makes it even better!

and yes I love carbon fiber, i would cover my dog in cf if i could and since im too poor to afford real cf, Vinyl CF will have to do!

My girlfriend always say, " You'd only love me more if I was covered in carbon fiber."

[BE-Fresh]

Um... lemme buy your taillights

[_RM_]

Not a big fan of the scoop :/

[rougeben83]

Is the scoop cut in bolted into the hood? Underside pics would be great :)

[02legacygt]

hey guys the scoop is a stick on ebay special ... sorry to dissapoint, thats why i was kinda confused when you asked if i had install pics....>???????

Well that means i did my job well and at least it looks real!

[dodik]

holly crap you had me fouled there i realy thought it was impreza scoop that was cut in.

[02legacygt]

hey i did my mirrors today cause it was nice, and i wanted to take pics of my new gauge

[subaru_terrence]

how did you paint your mirrors?

[Reason]

Looks like the same way he painted that scoop ;-)

[02legacygt]

i got a can of paint for the local sherwin williams auto. store, 10$ for a 5oz spray can, not bad by my book, i used soo little painting the scoop I have to use the rest!. So mirrors where next on my list!,

First there is a little triagle plastic trim piece on the inside remove it!
then you have to remove your door card
then there are 2 rubber gromets about where your mirror is on the inside take of the lower one, this will reveal a screw! gold in color, now there is a another rubber piece blocking the third screw, just move it, by looking at the shape of the mirror you should be able to tell where im talking about

disconnect the power to the mirror(if you have PM)
remove the mirror
clean the mirror housing with rubbing alcohol
sand with 1500 grit sandpaper or higher
clean again with rubbing alcohol
tape off the areas you dont want painted
spray with your choice of color!
let the paint dry

reverse the process to re install!!!!

no to hard I'd say about a 1 on the difficulty meter!

[Huffer]

you need new rims!

I second that - would you like to buy some 16x6.5 "snowflake" wheels as a trade for your stock wheels?

[02legacygt]

[BE-Fresh]

[02legacygt]

[99gtlimited]

forester wheels?

[Reason]

Fancy steelies :lol:

[02legacygt]

dont know my fiances brother works at Dunn Tire, and someone came in and bought aftermarket, and left these there, they are in perfect shape! I only paid 10$ a rim, and with his discount 45$ a tire for contienental (spelling) tires
which were 120 $ a tire a begin with!

so all and all i figured it was a good trade up, !!!!

[Huffer]

You should paint those black or gunmetal. They'd look great!

[02legacygt]

if anything id go gun metal!

[02legacygt]

here are some update pics of my "new -ish" exhaust & my HIDS.

the muffler was done with :
cut the flange from the midpipe
go to advance auto parts and get,
1 2" 45 degree elbow
1 2" straight pipe, sometimes call a "resonator"
3 2" clamps
1 2" Thrush Turbo Muffler
Needed from home:
Welder
misc rod to make hangers

so cut the flange off, the take the 45 and install with clamp, then goes the straight piece then the muffler, take off and cut and weld hangers.

total cost 45$ and 2 hrs of my time... it was b*tch to bend the rods for the hangers

[rougeben83]

Your mufflers on crooked...







Like mine :twisted:

[02legacygt]

yeah, the drivers side hanger is a tad to high, i just need to unbolt it and rebend it. I second guessed myself when i was installing it....

however if it was a fart can you wouldnt be able to tell!

[02_Legacy]

How are the HID's, I want to get some for my car so a few questions.
1) Are they in the stock halogen housing? How's the spread, do they blind oncoming cars?
2) Hows the quality of the DDM HID kit? are they easy to install?

[02legacygt]

the lights took about 20 min to install, if you are going to get them spend the extra and get the bi-xenon kit, with high /low, i do alot of country driving and im missing the high beams... however city driving they are great, i lowered the lights a little so i wouldnt blind anyone, ... and no one has ever flashed me or anything!

i went with the raptor DDM
