I've put almost 3k miles on it so far. Here's a link to a photo album, one picture as the car is now, one picture the way it looked when I bought it.

I'll post further pictures as I do more on the car.

Thanks.

I wanted to tint 5% all the way around, but unfortunately state law limits the driver and front passenger window to 35% tint. I wanted to have the same level of tint all the way around.

TECHNICALLY, 35% film is illegal. 35% total transparency is the limit. All windows are slightly tinted from the factory for UV protection. Most shops will look the other way. If a cop really had a hard-on to give you a ticket, he could pull out the meter and check the transparency.

Slick looking car though man!

I don't have the Legacy badges under the rear quarter windows...

Very nice. Looks good.

BAC5.2, the badges under the rear window were discontinued after the 91 model year, so our 92-94's don't have them.

Yeah it does depend on were you live. My tint is legal, except for the front. It's pretty dark too.

Your car looks Freaken nice man.

I think the badges at the C pillar are an interesting design element. Obviously something that didn't catch on... with anyone, as far as I know. As a matter of fact, the only other example of that that I can think of is on some SVXs. I think it's kind of stylish and unique on both cars. Maybe I should have bought that bright red 96 SVX that was at the dealer last year. Or not.

Can anyone come up with any other examples of that kind of badging on other makes?

Thanks for the postive comments, everyone. I'm really happy with the car, for the most part. I do have a few things to do... I'll let you know when things happen.

I think it was part of the redesigning. If you notice the 92-94's have less chromand look less boxy-looking. Either that or just subaru getting cheap liek they ddi to the interior.

I keep forgetting that there is a world outside of Maryland, lol.

Thanks for the info Matt. I saw the Legacy badges on Jason's car and on all the 91's I have seen, and I wondered if the previous owner de-badged (but there are no signs of it). Good to know.

The original Legacy design and the SVX were done by Giugiaro, so there's your similar design detail. I wish there were room on the bottom of the front fenders to mount the Legacy badges like my old Zs had for the DATSUN badges.
