no there pretty sick they come with rubber pads at the bottoms so they dont scratch the paint and then the parts that clamp on the rain gutter thing come with like a tap so it doesnt scrath the gutters. ill take some close ups tomorrow.

Pretty similar to my bosal twin tip. Very nice. The black will look good on your car.

finally owned up and installed an auxillary fuse panel so I can stop doing my wiring in stuff gheto. everything got heat shrinking for a quality install. also installed Hella horns in the factory location for now. very load and kind o funny.

wire that attaches to the post
Image
not a great picture but this is the 6 fuse panel. the on wire is for constant 12V and the other runs to a switch, that way I can turn it off and on. Ill run it to the ignition later.
Image
Image
the switch was already there when i bought the car so I just reused it
Image
Image

now I just have to fab up my gauge pillar and clean the wires up a little more

finallt got around to taking pictures of the Black TW interior I put in.

Image

I love this pattern, something that would be found in old GTis, E30 Ms, etc...

And the tint job I did from autozone, 35 bucks. Not a 150 or 300 dollar job but pretty clean.

Looks good but I would get some SEM texture spray and coat it to give it the same type of texture as the OEM panels. Then spray it with SEM classic coat to match the color of your OEM trim.

I built a couple A pillar pods for speakers a few years ago using these products. Actually used 3M rocker panel texture spray but I think it's the same thing.

You still looking for body parts? I came across a pre-lift today and it looked to be the same color as you're ss. Next time you got a day off I can show you what junk yard its at.

Been busy getting her ready for a wintery trip across the country from Seattle to GA. This will be her first trip this distance andd in this environment in who knows how long. Got to make sure she good to go.

Working on restoring struts that I picked up from beatersubi, came with WRX springs so should be a nice touch. Need to get the 92-94 rear top hats.

Getting ready to purchase all new rotors and pads. Will be running )3 WRX setup up front.

Getting a Yakima, Skybox and will be doing a secret fiberglass project.

Grill project in the works as well.

Now for some pics.

That shop looks warm. I lose all motivation for about 6 solid months while it's cold outside and thus just as cold in my garage. Nice work on the struts. Look new. I've got some STI springs I think if you want a little upgrade?

Yea got the top hats. I thing the WRX should be good enough untill I get coilovers. It's one of the reasons why i went aviation in the coast guard is so i could use the facilities.
