OK, your car looks very nice. That OEM kit with that wing, tint, side markers and of course the wheels gives it a very clean yet agressive look. Nice.

i see i am not the only one whose bodyshop guy didn't paint the little piece of plastic between side skirt and wheel well

it would look that much cleaner fortunately i have a MBP

jux·ta·pose - If you buy the sides allready painted, thats the way they come, so no body shop work.

ianalex - No rubbing that I ever felt, even with people in the back....but I guess it could happen. As far as losing acceleration, I can't tell a difference just driving around, if you had some heavy chrome 18's maybe...

I dont know about the bronze, but i did the gold battles on my WRB 2.5 and it looks abosolutely perfect...everyone who doesnt know anything about subarus tells me they makeit look like an m3...anyway, i thought the bronze might be too dark, but ive seen gunmetal wheels that look good and they are dark...especially the 18"s on suby dudes ride...those made me wish i had gotten the gunmetal...but then i looked at mine agian...

"Web Friendly" sized pics (or at least as close as I have) of my Smoked SDRs on the PSM 02 WRX wagon. The STI Brembo front brakes do a nice job of filling out every last inch of those Rotas :)

I had the Formels in Silver for street rims, and Slipstreams in 16x7" Flat Black for Autocross rims before I got the Brembos. Since those wheels won't clear the Brembos, I had to sell them and get new race wheels (Gold SDRs I got locally on a good deal, no pics of them on the car yet though).
