Looks good except for the X's on the headlights. Why sell it?

I want something faster and smaller. Gettin' back to my roots with another Honda most likely.

Get an STI and you will be much happier. Last longer and look better and more reliable.

Could be argued that it looks better, but honestly Honda would have it beat for long lasting and reliability..but this is a pretty sweet, unique car.

Sweet BG. I love seeing something new done with an Outback. It all looks really good minus the tape over the headlights... not feelin' it.

Very nice. A swap would be sick in this thing...

Good luck with the sale. I hope it goes to a good home.

awesome lookin ride man... (except the x's.. doesnt that interfere with the lights?)

i may be slightly biased, but i would try a white hood scoop and see how it looks :P

Hey thanks everyone, really wish I could afford a swap. Thats part of the reason why I'd rather sell it to someone who can. Cuz if you ain't gonna do it right don't do it at all. It's really the simplicity and the power per dollar thats bringing me back the the Honda game. In fact this was just my winter car that I got kinda carried away with. (p.s. This is my second car I've had the x's on and I've never noticed a difference in the headlamp performance)

I hate you! - JOKE
I just thought about doing the same thing to a wagon for my Fiance.

I thought I had a good idea, but briliant minds do think alike ^_^

VERY NICE BG !!!

I would keep her forever

This is really weird... it's like someone too my ideas and actually did it...

I originally was planning to color my wagon the same way... black hood and black top half of the car...black handles and bumpstrips.

Dammnit.

Thanks everyone, I just tried to think of how I could make the car look more aggressive, and I always liked the look of the ae86 in initial d and the color scheme of Spoon's street cars so I kinda put them together and it turned out pretty wicked.

your trunk gap is off in your avitar and that really huffers me.

it looks sick, other than the red L7 grill they are over played now, everyone has the red one.

I really am digging the outback bumper though it's rather sexy on that rig
