asked for Floor mate options... cuz interior is all blue.. too much blue :P



overall i am kinda pissed.. where is my frickin Gunmetal ??
and i stil can't believe they didn't email / call me bout the long beach meeting!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

going to Riverside this Sat.. and pray for any STi showing up..


out. and still pissed!!!

 

oh oh oh...

no fog light determined yet..

might be fogs behidn those covers

but Fog can be mos def an option

 

Sounds like a lot of STIs are coming... 1000 + 300 + ~7 = 3100 at least.

but if they really have 40 in cali. soa must know this is going to be big....

 

my bad.. i can't read... 1000 + 500 * 7 = 4500

that's a lot of STIs

 

Richi,

I tink the "gunmetal" rims were a misnomer from the outset. Don't know whether you ever participated in the SOA on-line questionaire regarding body and rim colour ??? SOA showed pics of the two different BBS forged rims and one was gold and the other was decidedly silver (defo not gunmetal).....maybe this originated from one of the auto shows, but I've never (ever) seen pics of gunmetal rims on JDM or USDM cars.

Having said that, there are plenty of nice gunmetal rims out there......sell the OEM ones (or use 'em as winter wheels) and buy exactly what you like (have you seen the BBS RG-R " black diamond" rims.......forged and weigh 16.9lbs for 17x7.5".....they are really nice !!).

Real pisser about not being invited to the "party" though......I'd withdraw my name from the waiting list on principle (sarcasm, smiley's not working !!).

 

roflmao!!

i was looking at the RS GT for a long time..

diamond black w/ polished lips.

very very nice..

i d pick this over the gunmetal anyday..


btw.. so cal here.. no winter.. .... prolly save them as track wheels.

those stock BBS are good too..
which is better.. white on gold or silver?
gold blends w/ the brembos. silver highlights the brembos.

btw..

i am still very pissed bout not getting invited.

 

RichiQY,

Where is this Riverside PR event????? I am on the list as well, and all this is news to me!!! There was a Long Beach event??? WTF??! Nobody told me anything!

Also, when is this Riverside event on Saturday?
TIA

 

RichiQY,

Also, what dealer are you going through, because my dealership doesn't seem to know what is going on!!

Thanks

 

A very subjective decision...........to some people keeping "true" to the Sti tradition would be very cool (e.g. JDM spec C with white body and gold rims or WRC with blue and gold) but to others it may seem like a pimp-mobile...........I think I'm going to camp-out at my local dealer and check out the different colour combos as they arrive......my heart is set on blue with gold at the moment.

 

the Riverside event is at Riverside Subaru.

i need to double check on the time

it came up from this post..
