Well, it is a start and we all started somewhere!

Good luck with the build and there are still a couple of Gen 3 RX on this forum, Absolution is the one I know without looking. Be sure to check out his build thread if you have not already.

I bought them pre-tinted. My old garnish and tail lights were full of moisture. The reverse lights were much worse then they are tinted :P

Yeah, it appears to be just a light coat. They'll look better when I eventually polish them.

I'm trying to find brighter lights, but LED bulbs as brakes are useless, CREE LED reverse lights are expensive and I need to source a reliable Flasher Relay for the indicators to make them LED.

Yeah LED's would look awesome, I want the B4 tail lights really bad but for time being the tint wouldn't hurt, installing LED's on the oem tail lights would be a challenge for me lmao

The B4 ones aren't any different?
Unless you mean the Legacy ones?

Jack_Keaka is looking in to installing proper LED's in to the tail lights.

Hi all!

Back from the darkside I have come.

Missed my Liberty and had to come back.

It's a 2003 MY03 Subaru Liberty B4 sedan in 01G Silver.

Car's build to date:

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN:
Converted to single VF34 turbo
CP Forged Rods & Pistons - Engine built by Toys Garage
Heads rebuilt
3" TBE
Equal length headers
Massive ebay-spec TMIC
Hyperflow CAI
02 WRX ECU
Tuned by MSR @ ~215kwatw
Exedy HD clutch

WHEELS/BRAKES/SUSPENSION:
Slotted front rotors
Cusco Zero 2 Comfort coilovers
Cusco H-brace
Whiteline HD ALK

EXTERIOR/COSMETICS:
JDM HID headlights

INTERIOR/ICE/GAUGES:
Gen 4 5-speed knob
AEM Wideband UEGO gauge
Defi BF Boost gauge
Defi BF Link
Pioneer AVH-X5650BT
Pioneer TS-D1720C front speakers
Pioneer TS-A1675S rear speakers

The plan for this car will be with minimalist in mind, I will keep modding it, but rather then doing the whole "Look at me!" thing I was doing on the Bug, everything will basically be black or hidden on this one. The aim is a nice clean "stock" looking Liberty that can give people a shock when you put your foot down.

At the moment, the plan is to get my Inner-Cruisn on and give the car a much needed strip, clean down and re-wire.

Then my way shall begin!

Have already sourced a Gen 3 specific front mount kit to remove the bloody bonnet spacing haha..

Holy shit!! I spotted this beast while I was working around your area. Distinctly remembered that plate! This was ages ago, I had no idea it was you. Nice build mate, hope to see more progress soon.
