Hi Josh,

I think some nice enkei's would suit your car and enkei have released a new rim and awesome sizes to suit gen 4s better :). Or get the GTC01's in 18x8

FYI, the Gunmetal colour has a brown hint to them in sunlight and are darker coloured overall than the Hyperblack. If you want something looking close to the STi Enkeis then you want the Hyperblack colour which actually looks silvery-grey. You can see what Hyperblack looks like in my profile pics.
I was going to procrastinate, but I put it off...

Randomly stalking your profile thread.

I saw you want a mesh grill... Why not DIY it?

Zach showed me how to do it without using bog/fibreglass and I think it comes out looking great. Only cost me about $70 painted and finished.

Got any pics man?

I might do it next weekend if its fairly easy and has good results :)

Going to hold back on bigger mods like doing my whole sound system, etc and start putting money toward my next car once I get off my Ps :D

I'll PM you some pics tomorrow due to the instructions being vague. You'll be fine.

Btw, can't recommend Autobarn paint matching more. 100% match on my car.

Do you need to do clear coat or do they give you a paint that does not need it?

Would you consider leaving the surround of the grill the black plastic? I've seen it in carbon fibre which unless very close looks black, and it looked quite good.

P.s. I looked into the mesh grills a while ago for my car.. I found it almost impossible to find a Subaru emblem for the mesh. There are fake ones on eBay but the stars are different and although most wouldn't notice I'm anal and it would shit me haha

Mine is a bit worn from age, so I plastidipped it a while back, I might do the grill then replastidip it, not sure though :/

I can always strip it back and paint it in my colour if I want later on

Is plastidip that stuff you spray on and then peel off the bits you don't covered?
