Is that the paint on Al's car's wheels? I was thinking of doing mine. Wheel paint?

Yup. Engine paint.

Taken under advisement.

Heh heh...



Thanks to "torreadorranger" I have a new-to-me Perrin catted downpipe! Man, that's a sexy bitch!

Woo Hoo!

So custom grill last week, down pipe, exhaust and tune this week... Ha! Awesome.

I am a happy man!

A nice 250 mile road trip this morning to CT to go get it. Man, I love that car.

But... WTF?




RUN!!!!! lol

T-Rex's loose in Conneticut? What?

I see they fenced him in now.
Anyone thats see Jurassic Park KNOWS that wont work.
Whats that pc with the downpipe?

I just won't look in the sideview and I'll be fine.

It's a turbo heat shield trimmed to fit the bigger downpipe and the thing in the zippy is an adapter to connect the 3" DP flat flange to the stock catback donut gasket.

Hey Guys,

I think while I save for a new set of wheels, I am going to paint my stockers and then use them for winter tires next winter. I was originally going to paint them metallic charcoal, but having seen some bronze painted ones in my searches, it's kinda hard to ignore that now. I think the bronze would actually pick up some of the golden pearl that's in the factory Garnet Red Pearl paint...

If it help in your considerations, I will be tinting the windows and possibly lowering the car an inch or so.

Any p-shop wizards got some spare time? lol (pics above ^^^)

So.... Charcoal? Bronze? Black? Other?

Bronze wheels on subies are overdone imo. I'd do black or charcoal.

Go for the gold.

you got lucky we could never find a red pearl one when i was a salesman at subaru nice score hows she run after the new pipe? and the gold ones look hot on it

Really? I've never actually seen one. I saw one pic of bronze painted factory LGT wheels in a 174 page long pic thread on the LGT forum. ONE! Never had seen it before and I thought it was the balls. I've seen plenty of gold rimmed scoobies around, but never bronze. Maybe I just haven't been paying enough attention?

The more I think about it, the kickassener it seems to me!

LOL. You just like the black better cuz I had to tint the shit out of the windows to make the rims black. Yeah, I coulda made another layer in the chop, but I just adjusted the opacity. Sue me.

I still like the bronze best.

are you using photoshop? damn nice work i didn't even look at tint lol.

I like charcoal. Then again, thats probably because I want to do it on the VW.

Yeah, a very old version of it. And those ones I did are teh total suck. I could do a little better, but not much.

There are some people that are just amazing with it. I are not one of them.

your damn good to me i really suck at that stuff but give me a pencil and paper.......MASTERPIECE lol

I dont like the gold but it might be cuz it looks yellowy
I've seen that scheme out there on something...cant remember...didnt like it.
