I like it but if I may, could I suggest also painting the door handles the same color?

I think just that little detail would make a huge difference. Just my two cents, but I love the look!

I kinda like the color. Have you thought about black wheels?



Side question. How much of a pain was it to take the headlights apart?

The headlights are easy. I think Josh put them in the oven on 150 for a short time, but I used a heat gun on the lower setting as I pried the lens gently with a wide screwdriver, then pulled on it with my hands.

I did my '07 STi headlights in the oven and it worked out very well. I am pretty sure it was at 150 for about 12 mins.

The pictures dont really show it well, but there was a lot more to the headlights then just baking and painting.

As far as the wheels, I was thinking about paint matching them with the yellow, cant really decide. (maybe a dark metallic? Black always looks spraypainted to me)

It needs to go lower, a lot lower. Who ended up with my coilover sleeves, and are you using them?

I really think paint-matched wheels would only look good if they had a polished lip or something. A gunmetal might look good.... but I think white would look primo.

Um, the white is pretty sweet, I hadn't even considered it!

Thanks for the P chop, can you do yellow?

Do tell.








I do like the black two-tone with black wheels. All business.

i like the yellow with gunmetal rims the most, then the yellow and black on black is a close 2nd.

what are you plans for this one?

Ding ding!

That was a total PITA, and I dont think I'll ever do it again!


Jake, no big motor plans for this one, but the plans do include the use of one of these. :lol:

Why did you sand off the fluting? Did you put projectors in? They look fairly clear in the photos, but so did mine even after all kinds of polishing. Are the lenses a little cloudy in reality?
