Keep the silver wheels and go black calipers with silver decals.

yep! +1

or vice-versa. dark grey wheels, body colour matched calipers with dark grey decals

Yeah black callipers are a little boring though That's exactly what cruisn used to have Simon, looked good but again, dark wheels make me want it lower.

Thanks Mark, I think all silver is a little much and the black doesn't really stand out as much as I'd like...


Found this picture, in the process of photoshopping it now

[cruisn]

Put them up as its very easy to decide with the real pic in front of you.

I just finished a front set today in gloss white with black decals. Freakin' sexy but I dont think white works well with silver.

Silver car, silver wheels, blue calipers work extremely well.

[mynameisdaniel]

Yeah thanks does help a lot

Would love white on pretty much any other colour

I think I'll give the blue a go, something close to the picture/a dark Subaru blue. Worst case, I don't like it, end up painting them bright green

Those lighter blue ones you photoshopped in are actually growing on me Daniel (sorry guys). I would have traditionally stuck with gloss black or another relatively neutral colour to keep with the black/silver theme, but the blue is not bad at all IMO...

Yeah I like the blue, although a little bland with the silver wheels. Should get another track day out of my current brake pads so I've got until then to decide on a colour.


Also got bored of uni work the other day, not a very good video, this car runs out of space very quickly so didn't get quite as good a run as I would've liked but I am liking the exhaust note with the dump pipe.

Not quite, got the mesh and cut the centre out of a grille but that's about it. The mesh is pretty close to matching the fog light covers so if you wanted to make some new surrounds up it might be viable. I read those fog surrounds are only like $25 each from Subaru so might be possible to get a spare set to cut up

Installed a HKS panel filter recently (Thanks heaps sbv). Noticeably louder blow off valve sound and possibly quicker response from the turbo at lower revs... Also added a bit of vinyl to the front end which is why I haven't bothered with the third grille. And as always, more photos.

Ok so im going to do the same to my grill now. Another member had done the same thing to their grill and i liked it but your car is the same as mine so im going to black out the centre section of the grill to. Did you just viny the chrome or the hole centre bar?? What vinyl did you use and where did you get it??? I had bought some of the stuff to cut and mesh the grill but i was worried how it would turn out, so i will do this and see if i like it.

I just did the chrome bit. If you take the grille out there's 4 little screws and some clips on the back holding the chrome bit on. Take it off and wrap it in vinyl, folding any excess behind it. Then screw it back on and it'll look perfect. I just went for some cheap black vinyl as it was purely to see how it looked. Turned out to be very good stuff, easy to work with and a very nice finish. Here's the link, it's more than you need but it's only $8
