Post by 91White-T »

The Hella fogs look nice. Be sure to aim them well.

Sidemarkers, excellent as well. I don't get why Subaru wouldn't have just put them on North American prefacelift models from the factory.

I'm confused though -- what about your turn signals?

I dont like it, you've no turn signals now. And the reason the didnt put them on north american prefacelift cars was because there was no need for them. The only preface with them are the european ones that dont have a side-shining light in the corner light.

Those corner lights don't work right as turn signals by themselves. The light pattern's different.

They dont have to work by themselves, thats what the sidemarkers are for. I realize that they're not perfect but I think my setup will give people the idea that I intend to turn.

Not as well as keeping actual turn signals.

Impreza GC8 springs, have no idea what the spring rate is... I used to have a similar fog setup with the blinkers, but I got these fogs for free from a friend. Looks good!

Coilover sleeves, eh? I see. Are they at least on Koni Insert struts, or something better than stock? I guess that might be a good budget choice if you want a lowered look.

I'm just curious, that's all.

No... theyre on stock blown shocks. lol This is kind of a temporary car so I dont really care if it bounces a lot or handles like crap. I mean, just look at the pictures and you can tell I'm not gonna spend a lot of money on a car in such poor condition...

I miss my hubcap-less/Hella'd Legacy. The Dremel got quite a work out making the 450's look like they were supposed to be there. I had thicker wires and two relays so I could run 100w bulbs, needless to say they were not very good fog lights....more like noon day sun lights.

duuuuude
Your wagon looks pimp
Stealth's the new bling

Does anyone know if you could replace the bulb with a double fillament and hook up both your wires from your parking and torn signals. Maybe sharing a ground :?:
