Ditto on what 91legacy_sleeper said: awesome pics! If you're not a professional photographer you're creative and good at it!

Ummm, I'm not trying to be funny and I hope I don't start a war here but I just wanted some opinions. Your car looks great the way it is but do you think the car would look good with gold tinted windows? Would it be "too much" or look classy? (I apologize in adavance if I've offended anyone with this query, and especially to you DutchRedLegacy.)

Now, I've never seen a car with gold tinted windows but I've seen gold tinted windows on a building and it was so, well, gorgeous, that I actually held up traffic looking at it. I was just trying to imagine what gold windows would look like on the Legacy.

I had a friend who had a red Nissan and he tinted his windows a copper color. I wrinkled my nose when he said he was going to do that but it was beautiful when done! I recall thinking, "Why didn't I think of that combination before?" It definitely was a head-turner (in a good way).

Thanks for the nice responses 8)

The car is almost 15 years old but still has its first paint. It's Rio red indeed, hard to maintain in our wet sea climate. I use Sonax colorwax to keep it in shape.

I had to replace the gearbox, it died at 250.000km. The engine is still running smooth, a few oilchanges and warming her up before hitting the throttle can do miracles.

Since I got it a few years ago I did a few exterior changes and finally reached the point where it looks perfect. The license plate is on the left to improve airflow into the coolor. Tinted windows will only attract criminals, so I won't have that done. The last 'mod' will be grey Subaru decals on the rear windows, just like the rallye cars.

The interior is fine, I only changed the steering wheel (Impreza GT Nardi), the gearlever (Impreza GT, shortened by 3 inches) and the fabric under the rearwindow is now stylish black.

The soundsystem contains a Caliber woofer (door) & tweeter (rearview mirror), JVC speakers in the back (custom fit) and a Magnat subwoofer in the back. 2 amps (one under the seat and one in the booth) give enough juice.

My new exhaust makes the car sound wonderful, although I shouldnt drive with an empty tank. It amplifies the noise of the backbox too much. The Austrian made Sebring has a really dark growl, it stunned the people at the carshop :lol:

I'm indeed a photograher, I make pics at raves and houseparties in (mainly) Holland and Germany. Good guess :wink:

Here's some pics of the exhaust (90mm)

I'll made a soundclip later on :roll:
