That's one of the cleanest looking Rio Reds I've ever seen! Good catch.

Very nice, is that the only pic you have?

Nice! Lower that beeotch! <Grin>

as far as lowering it that will be next

ooohh so thats what my paint used to look like

Definately the best looking rio red SS I've seen.

very nice

FYI you'll need to recirc your BPV, because the stock WRX BPV stays open at idle, thus creating a HUGE vacuum leak.

actually if you take and smack the top of the bov with a hammer it dents in the top and tightens the spring and it will seal just fine i had that problem when i first installed talked to a buddy of mine and he said that is a pretty common mod for dsm mitsu and after doing that it works perfectly. Auto crossed the car yesterday and was only 1 sec off of a 06 wrx stage 2 not bad for a stock suspension and all season tires and about a 60 hp deficite

here is a pic after painting grill black with a red pinstripe and custom painted factory emblem with red background

sexy beast she is, very clean looking.

The grill on the wagon. did you make that one yourself?

yes i made the grille on the wagon i simply cut out all the bars and epoxied the holes on the sides that were left by the main horizontal bar then sanded it down smooth and painted the inner grille black the outside of the grille was already body colored because the wagon is an alpine sport. The mesh in the back of the grille is just expanded metal from the local hardware store cut to fit most of the asthetic mods that i do to my cars are low cost but usually somewhat time consuming but well worth the time in the end

Hey Look!!!! You took the picture next to a Jeep "Liberty". LOL

how did you make the red emblem and or could i buy one from you?

you can do it two ways pull yours off and send it to me i will do it and send it back or buy a new emblem and send it to me and i will paint it and send it back i will do it for 10 dollars plus shipping the new emblem is the way to go due to the age of most of the older cars having rock chips ect. in the face of the emblem let me know what you want to do and what color
