I would personally buy JDM projectors, the USDM lights leave a lot to be desired. And I would probably just get cheap mudflaps because I think Rally Armour mudflaps are a little pricey.

I second the projectors; they are worth every penny. Having good light when you need it is invaluable.

Damn, I was going to say go for the end-links and 'flaps, but I guess I'm out voted.

well i managed to scrap up an extra $100 so it looks like the endlinks(kartboy) are gonna happen...shouldnt be too hard to scape up the rest for the flaps :smt023

I dont like spending money, so if I was you I would look at the DIY mud flaps that have been all the rage lately ;)

RA flaps are so overrated it's unbelievable.

Come to think of it, I second the DIY flap idea. It isn't that hard to buy a couple pairs of full size truck flaps, trim them, and mount them. I've been thinking of doing that on my own ride, but I can't seem to find inexpensive flaps without the Dodge, Ford, Chevy, or John Deere logo on them around here.

Try Walmart... I have a set of truck mudflaps with a "mountain" type illustration etched into them. $20. Don't really even need to trim them much!

You'll probably be like me and wonder why you didn't make the purchase sooner. Wise choice.

nah, i have a pretty good reason for not getting them sooner...im paying for collage out of pocket, so school is first...then my car...but all the holiday hours definitely paid off!

Projectors are great however based on your threads you like to 4wheel and get into ridiculous situations with your Outback. I do too and for that reason I have opted to NOT get JDM projectors because I know that a tree or branch would break them sooner or later. Already one of my headlights is held in with a screw and two zip ties. I've already got $200 worth of Hella lighting on the front of my car, I'm not about to add another $200.

nah, ive stopped all that. yea its fun but ive already done some damage to my headers and minor frame damage. maybe ill get a second outback and lift that one for offroading...maybe a 3.0 H6 swap

EDIT: just got a email from the seller, they wont ship till monday...how long does it usually take to get parts in from Japan?

Could have bought them from andivic for $200 shipped in the 48 states... would have arrived in a week.

i sent him a PM last week and he never answered me, i wound up paying 195 with shipping from japan anyway. i could have saved a bit because he is local and i could have picked up, but alas

ok...so the headlights were shipped sunday(monday in japan) and they are here today...man that was ALOT quicker then i was expecting...they are at the post office...so i have to get my ass up and over there now hahaha



EDIT: ok this is a bit odd....i think my car has a mind of its own. i went down to the P.O. to get the head lights, i get them, get in the car and start her up...and the passenger side headlight decides to die...kinda wierd but the timing was great
