G'day my names john, and im a subie owner


i've been a member over at ozlib for a bit now, on and off. i owned a gen2 rx wagon (tuflib) then got a wrx.

now i am in a my05 2.5i liberty sedan.
no real mods to the car performance wise.

all i have done is install a pioneer slimline sub to get some more bass through the stereo
i had it booked for twin tips but the bloke didnt turn up to his shop on the saturday so i have left that idea for a bit, i am thinking of saving up a bit and getting a set of magnaflows for the rear.

here are the pics





and yes, i am in the process of taking the black strips off

Hey John,

The car looks really nice and clean. Got any plans for the appearance?

Welcome bud. Nice clean car... but I really dislike those bumper strips Makes it look like a granny-mobile... no offense

welcome to the forum mate ... let the modding begin haha

thanks

well i promised myself no modding of this car, i've stuffed around with every car i have ever owned and am losing too much money. although this car is a long term keeper i hope.

i'm gonna mod the grill, doing a mesh conversion.
i've taken the back strips off and the front ones i am doing this weekend

other than that the cars a pretty good looking standard, maybe once i get some cash together a lip kit from im will be on the cards

Get the lip that Ultrex sells

You know you want to

i would like that lip.

hmm maybe joining this place wasnt such a great idea haha

i cant help myself. i wont go and build a motor up or anything. engine wise i might just do a stainless intake, i sell the stuff so materials are pretty cheap.

i think what i meant is i wont go to the extent of my 2gen wagon.

pain stakingly hahah

nah, i just used a heat gun to warm them up, just becareful or you'll burn the paint. then just peeled them.
as for the residue, i used eucalyptus oil and then gave the rear bar a cut and polish. still havent done the front as i've been flat out.

it left me with some nasty yellow marks on the paint where the tape was, but after a few days of being parked at work, they have gone miraculously

ah cool, thanks for the tips

them bumper strips are rank!!!!

i dont know anyone who would think they look good.

still havent had a chance to do the front, massive cbf factor with all the rain down here in melb.

i finished the grille and am mighty annoyed, the guy didnt mix the pearl right and its turned more silver so it doesnt match.


cant afford to re-paint so i have a mismatched grille on my car now
