Best sleeper Love your car!

 

bump cause i've never seen this thread: i admire your taste... sweet car
my car desperately needs to be messed with...once i can find the time exhaust parts are being coated at the moment...

 

I was just goint to say this. With the WRX hood scoope, fully debadged all around and wrx spoiler and sideskirts, you got the sleeper look alright! the finished product looks very classy too!

 

of he can do just the signals likeMartin's car...




I've been contemplating doing this but wish they made tint that was not as dark.

 

Thanks for all the comments guys. I am keeping the tails stock, imo they look great. Money should start rolling around here again soon and I can keep modding. Been to poor to do anything lately.

 

custom dash:

The pictures show too much glare do to the flash. I need to play with the settings on my camera to figure it out. I swear it does not look that glossy at all and is more of a satin/flat crinkle. It looks so good in person I wish the pics did it half the justice. Anyways not for all but as you can see my stock silver interior bits were SCRATCHED to hell.

Also as you can see I also have an '04 WRX interior with rear seat pass through! Woot. Still have the tale tell blue carpet though hiding under the black STi mats. Excuse the mess

Anyways wish you could see it in person, hopefully I will figure my cam out and get better pics with less flash.

 

i'm sure it looks cool with less light. the black shift trim looks great.

i really love this car lol.

 

This one is the closest to how it looks of all the pics, I covered up the flash with my finger.

I need the black s203 HVAC buttons now.

 

ok figured out how to turn the flash off, still not like it is in person but you can get the idea better with these pics. Also figured out the close up and tried to sit still enough to capture the texture, it's really crazy when you look close up, it has a nice feel to it also.

i think i heart your car as much as you heart flat black! lol

 

Well new rear bumper coming soon. Probably getting the Syms rear. Some chick hit me last night at a stoplight.



I h8 people.

The Syms that will be mine.

 

man o man I FAWKED up my interior last night. I went to paint these peices again, to take some of the shine off. I got a semi flat black called Landau Black by SEM. It's actually a good paint meant for interior work.

So all went well until the final coat. It was still looking shinier than I wanted so I decided to give it one more coat, well for some reason a chemical reaction finally happened on that last coat. The paint mixed with some stuff in the Krinkle paint and it made it bubble up (the paint). Parts of the orginal color were exposed. Then I started to peel it off, it was like rubber. There were parts that would come easy than other parts that would need to be razor bladed off then sanded.

I put about 10-15 small knicks in the plastic from the razor blades but I will be able to sand them out. Got all of it off except one piece (a smaller one) by 2:00a this morning. I will have to get the other piece after work and then sand like a ****. I might half to use the dremel attachment in a few places. GAWDDAMN IT SUCKS. Oh well live and learn. So now when it gets cleaned up I am going with flat black Rustoleum paint and leaving it the hell alone


Cliffs:

I suck at painting.

 

nice wrx interior! hahaha

 

It looks great!!
in Spain people use to do the "opposite", here, people use to buy the 2.0R (non turbo version) and get the look of the STI, to look like 265cv over the 160 they have

but I like the way you use, to hide the beast under a beauty body!!

 

Fixed my interior last night. Finally found the right paint that I have been looking for this whole time. I was going to do the textured paint for plastics by Rustoelum but Humboldt is so county not a store in the whole county had them. I ended up going to a profession car paint shop. Need to clean up my car and snap some photos. It was a ton of works stripping off all that other paint, but it never would ahve been right until it was all off. I even took off all the silver factory paint and painted the raw abs. It's better, yes better than the Spec C interior. I couldn't be happier. Too bad it took me 10hrs of work
