Looks great!
Where did you get your CF eyelids from?

Thanks Nathan

i got them off ebay, they are cheap chinese ones.
fit and finish is OK, not as good as the Japanese stuff you pay more $$$ for tho

[paggaz]

Ahh right, yeah I've been looking around at both the branded ones from Jap which PhatGT can source and a few cheaper ebay ones from USA or china.
Japanese would be the way to go for quality but from your photos, yours look like the real deal hmm, still decision making..

if you go with Phat, pay the extra money to get them painted, it will save you a sh*tload rather than getting someone over here to paint them for you

[paggaz]

Yeah that's all been part of my decision making, thanks for the advice!

Coilies and new wheels? SPOILT.

Now all you need are some uprated sway bars and your trolley will handle like it's on rails

ahhh okay, only because you are all pressuring me for an update. but no pics, havent got the car back yet, let alone the coilovers or the wheels...

The car is at the panel beaters at the moment getting the outback bonnet i purchased of Mat04 repaired (great bloke to deal with, and he has a killer build on the way too for his outback ), the front bar from IM is getting fixed up, my front lip is getting put on and the whole front end is getting re sprayed for $1300 which im pretty happy about.

I have some bonnet struts to go on too

Managed to find a buyer for my old bonnet for $250 which brings the cost down even further

I also have an OEM custom mesh grille on the way from Japan via IM which im eagerly awaiting

Last week I dealt with Bryce from KiDo Racing re KiDo Coilovers ordered them a week ago, so about another 2 weeks till they are in my hands

Im ordering a set of Ultrex RS's in gunmetal grey, most likely monday week, and i have some R40 locking nuts to accompany them on the way. The tyres for them will just be what i have now, until im ready to buy some Kumho KU36's. My reason for that specific tyre is because from the reviews i've read they are one of the best bang for buck ultra/high performance tyres.

I also have a full set of LCA bushes that are made in the whiteline factory but are sold under whiteline's "homebrand" name... so they are cheaper

Oh and to those that dont know (most of you) when i purchased the car, it never came with factory car mats, so i've been rocking some el cheapo $9 kmart mats. they are shit house, move around a lot but they do the job. I managed to pick up a 2009 Gen4 full set for $80 del. off ebay

After all of the above, i plan for a major service

What did you get - carpet or rubber? I find rubber to be better because you can hose the buggers off.
