Gainesville, I'm waiting on a sunset for some more pictures there ;)

[Nittanys1]

yeah i can see some nice pics coming out of that area on the right day/night

[GPJamesMVT]

honestly, when you look at it in person... It really looks fake, it looks like your just looking at a huge painting

[WhiteAccord]

Nice ass car... good job...

[IndianStig]

nice car man. that last picture is hott

[Nitro]

[Ericp]

[GPJamesMVT]

Thanks guys, I've got a few more things to install Friday, and then its up to the mountains Sunday

[Sol-Badguy]

That dirt picture is badass. +1

[AnthonyF]

Thats my thinking... :goodjob:

[GTScoob]

Lots of WRXatl guys coming over here recently. I'm 99% sure the STI already has SS brake lines.
Black mirrors would be hot, you can get the cover plates off subarugenuineparts.com for ~$30.

[Tracy]

Nice dude!

[SSMTL01]

Yeah, I was either going to do that, or just trade with someone that has an 06' WRX

[Nitro]

i keep telling myself that i've gotta do 1 of these mountain runs :D


*sigh* always look like fun!!!!

[GPJamesMVT]

Bring it on yo!

[GTScoob]

Yeah, I was either going to do that, or just trade with someone that has an 06' WRX
Its gotta be a TR to have the black mirrors. Install is really straightforward, just pull the doorpanels off and then its 5 screws holding it all together.

[GPJamesMVT]

Yeah, Alex was telling me that he did that... People don't realize that the "JDM" mirrors won't work... They're ass backwards

[GPJamesMVT]

Heres the airbox

[KillTheCrow]

Damn that's nice.

[GTScoob]

Yeah, honestly I like the way mine which are off a black 06 STi look much more next to Alexs which are matte black. They twinkle and glisten whereas his just sit there :D I've done little in the way of exterior mods to my car but I'd say next to the roof rail deletes, the black mirrors made the biggest difference.

[GPJamesMVT]

Hmm... I might do that then

[Maniaç]

very nice man... im planning on doing the same to my headlights asap...
gonna change my tails to 04-05 as well this sunday.

[GPJamesMVT]

Talk to Alex about your headlights, hes a done a few of them and does a good job

[acura_dude]

gorgeous car man wish i had money to buy one

[Maniaç]

Talk to Alex about your headlights, hes a done a few of them and does a good job

yeah i already talked to Alex..... all i have to do is get the money. im acouple dollars short. but first i have to fix all the problems i have with my car.
but from the look of your headlights... Alex is the man to go to.

Very nice STi man, you're the guy that told me about that track day right..

[GPJamesMVT]

I actually did my headlights myself before he started doing it, but yeah, he does do a great job. Yeah, i posted up about the autoX G2G

I wouldn't really say that its hard to do... Its just time consuming, and you have to be very patient and meticulous so you don't break anything.
For the 06', you have to remove the three grill inserts, unbolt the headlight assembly, pull it out, remove the bulbs and wiring harness, place in the oven for 15 minutes at 220 degrees, pry it apart carefully, unscrew the bezel that will be painted, paint it, and then just repeat everything in reverse.

Turbo XS cat that was given to me with 500 miles on it (It reduces boost creep in the 06' models by giving the turbo more backpressure)
