Nice! White is an awesome color on BE's. Glade to see another Pacific Northwest member on here. We are going to have a PNW meet soon, you should think about going. http://www.sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?t=11155

[Wagonista]

looks great... Love the painted bumper.

[BE-Fresh]

Lookin fresh..Kinda jealous haha

[scubydu]

Thanks guys. I was pretty happy with how the pics turned out, for just using a pretty cheap basic camera. I LOVE this car. Still deciding how far I want to go with the mods though. so many ideas so little time & $$$

[99gtlimited]

yep definitely eastern washington. welcome!!

[Ryan]

Wow, nice job. Hard to get a good shine on the white birch but you did a great job. Your last pic is now the background on my laptop!

[Airgne]

woot another PNW!!!! nice BE. welcome to the site.

[scubydu]

woohoo im famous :lol:
ya, i'm pretty religious about washing and waxing, but I was honestly blown away by what a difference the claybar made. It's like having a brand new paint job.

[scubydu]

sooo... you think this will come out with the claybar??? :smt009

got backed into this weekend.
Anyone have a front bumper for a BE they want to sell?
I'd prefer a 03-04 or a jdm
I'll post this in wanted also.

[legacyB4RSK]

I'll give you my front bumper from an '01 LGT. Just pay for shipping which would probably be too expensive anyway from Canada. Just a thought. It's been sitting in my shed for a year.

[rougeben83]

airgne switched to an outback bumper, he may still have his 00-02 gt bumper and he's in WA...

OR you can go to an outback bumper yourself...I see a couple of them on ebay for around $150 shipped...

[scubydu]

got the damage fixed. Had a friend at a body shop fix it for about a third of the insurance check I got :smt023
Also got a custom shift boot and ebrake boot from redline goods. Awesome product, really dressed up the console area. Also put in led lisense plate and backup lights-not to happy with the backup's, might put the stockers back in. Thinking about window tint and yellowing the fogs next.

[scubydu]

Quick little update. installed wrx pedals also. here's a couple pics of the interior

Got my Home Depot rally flaps on. Easy diy and looks pretty slick I think

Looking good bro, sorry I didn't get the pics/information up before you did yours...I'm super lazy.

[scubydu]

Finally got around to meshing out my grill. I used gutter guard screen and epoxied it on. Then painted with Plastidip spray. Seemed to work pretty good.
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/04/DSCF0971-1.jpg

I'm debating debadging the trunk and using the GT badge on the grill. What do you think?
Quick chop on paint-

[T_F_E]

gt badge there would be awesome!

[dplacencia]

Very nice GT! The last pic on the top is priceless. :wink:

[RomanTaylor]

I love white color! I wish mine was white and manual. Otherwise our cars are same :)

[Airgne]

there are holes behind the gt badge. tape them up from the inside so you dont get water in if you do take it off.

Ya, there's a 4zero1 motorsports decal there for now courtesy of Reason :lol:
I had the GT badge on the grill, but it fell off. now the mesh is falling out. I guess the epoxy was the wrong kind or something. May have to get creative and redo the whole thing.
Now that I think of it, the holes were behind the Legacy badge, not the GT.

[scubydu]

Just realized that I never put pics of my painted woodgrain up here. Here you go :smt023 Switch bezels on front doors are also painted to match, just not in this pic.

The painted wood ggrain looks really good, I hate the look of mine and was thinking of painting it to match the outside,

how did you get the peices to the left and right of the steering wheel off? is there a trick?

Thanks, I was pretty happy with it. You can't really tell in the pics, but the paint is actually a hammered aluminum, so it has some texture to it. The trim pieces just snap out. carefully start on one corner and pull. they should come right out.

[scubydu]

Did the big 3 in the engine bay. new Alt - battery wire, and new ground wires from battery - engine - body - strut tower - back to engine. Maybe I'll post a pic later, but it looks about like every one elses who's done it :lol:

[JohnnyC]

Our cars are kinda like twins. Only you've done what I've recently been thinking about doing. Looks very nice and tastefully done!

[YVK]

really good looking car. hopefully get to see it at some meets in the future or what not (i live in washington as well)

[B's Legacy Wagon]

looks great glad to see another PNW car on here.

[scubydu]

Converted all my dash and hvac lights to blue LED's. Looks awesome, I love this mod. Hopefully will convert the rest of the interior to LED's also soon. I will post a pic or two in the next couple days.

[d1giPhux]

yeah.. i def wanna see this. Did you wire the LED's yourself to the bulb bases.. or buy them online?

dude i so need to do that, was it hard?

[scubydu]

pretty easy. I followed Blackstar's DIY thread here- viewtopic.php?f=39&t=14157 (http://www.sl-i.net/FORUM/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=14157)

[scubydu]

OK, here's a couple pics. I also replaced the turn indicator bulbs so they would flash blue. Still have to do the fog and cruise button bulbs. I am super happy with the way this turned out.

[swiftman007]

^^ looking good! I also need to do that. Stock green dash lights are so boring :(

[scubydu]

Put on my new shoes! I got a screaming deal on brand new 2011 WRX takeoffs, and put 225/45/17 toyo proxes 4's on them. I think it looks amazing. here's a couple cell phone shots for now.

[Cervantes]
