Stayed up late a few nights, getting ready for a roadtrip to Anchorage. Here's some photos of what I've done to my Subaru lately...

New mesh in the grille, painted satin black and attached nice and secure this time.

Image


Added some fog lights with beefy steel brackets. Painted the trim ring white to match the theme of the car.

Image


Finally installed my Hella horns with a custom bracket. Painted the them white to match the theme of the car.

Image


Put the roof rack and load warrior basket on top for added hauling capacity.
Road warrior mode initiated

Image


This is what it looked like after 700 miles.

Image


Also did this while on the trip. Happy 200,000 1991 Legacy SS! It's B-day present is in the works.

I like the multi-colored wheels, especially the blue color. You seem to be missing a piece off the front. I can't put my finger on what it is, but something doesn't look right. :P

The cars all look good. I can't wait for summer so there will be more car cruises up here too. There are talks of doing a statewide cruise to Denali Park, and staying in one of the nice hotel's there, maybe some rafting and sight seeing too. Should be quite a few pictures with some mountains and nice scenery from that trip.

Open Downpipe :smt007:

Wish I went out to that cruise to the beach, my buddy who sold me my SS went out and took his 2.5GT.

I gave it a wash today and a spirited run next to a 10' WRX. 8)

The car looks good. How did you do the de-chroming? I know a lot of guys use electrical tape. just curious.

I washed the car before I went to a nicely sized meet today. My car is being funky so I stopped and picked up a new fuel filter and plugs. I attempted to change plugs, but couldn't find the right socket size in my mess of tools and gave up. Lol

When I did mine I taped off the whole trim panel and just sprayed all of it with black. Trying to take the chrome strip out never worked for me, it always left the sticy tape behind and was a mess/pain to even begin to remove and clean.

Fired my baby up for the first time in 6 months. Battery was still juiced :-D Let her warm up for 10 mins, and the water pump started pissing on my exhaust manifold :-(

I used some legit electrical tape my buddy who works for a band in audio/visual department. Stuffs strong and perfect size. I mocked up electric tape from autozone as well and it worked as well, maybe half a cm too big which is fine
