Hey all,

Got my MY06 2.0 Liberty in New port Blue, and I have unfortunately been bitten by the mod bug :lol:

So far I have done nothing, it is all stock, however here is what I have planned so far:

Interior

LED Map, Dome, Courtesy Lights - Done (PS: viewtopic.php?f=68&t=20008)
LED footwell lighting (DIY) - Done, looks nice!
Aluminium Sill Plates (Either Blank, Subaru or Liberty)
JDM Coin Holder
JDM Clear Courtesy Light Panels - Done, must have for LED changeout, I have 2 sets for sale, PM me! Gone, I can order more if you need.
USDM Side Cargo Nets - Done, they come in handy!
Rubber Boot liner
Carpeted floor mats Bought a pair off a member
Window Tints
New aircon filter - Done!, I have some for sale, hit me up for info

Exterior

LED Break, Reverse and Plate Lights - Done, Bright reverse lights, plates might need tweaking though.
LED Indicators (Eventually)
LED Parkers - Done, but going to Xenon, the LED's keep blowing!
LED Foggies
Xenon Headlights - Done, installed a HID kit, couldn't have been happier with the results.
New Wheels, have my eyes on the Rota Gravels
Reverse Camera
Black Mesh Grill (or I might plastidip my current grill to black) - Done, Plastidipped, eyes open for a mesh grill though
Club Lib stickers (of course) - Done, of course!
Smoke the tail lights - Done ^_^
Eyelids (perhaps)
Front Lip Spoiler

Audio

2 Din Fascia and Dual zone aircon controller - Its here, need a headunit now
2 DIN Unit with Satnav, Bluetooth, DVD, something like this..
Swap out the speakers
Amp + Sub, either under the seat or in box in the boot

Engine, Performance, etc

New break pads
New Tires (need!)
New foot pedals (STi or other aluminium ones)
Coilovers
HKS panel filter
New Exhaust System eventually

Someone please call an ambulance, this modbug infection is bad!

I am looking for any advice or suggestions you have to offer, I based the list above on what I have seen on other Lib's, I could be missing out on a lot of awesome stuff

Show some pics of the beast!!!

by **Joshy** » Thu Feb 14, 2013 7:27 pm

PICS and lots of them!

Camera: Canon EOS 30D
Lens: 50mm 'nifty fifty'
Accessories: A bath towel so I didnt get dustry when laying on the rd, LOL

Yes the car is dusty, yes I drove it down that gravel road, yes I had fun doing it ^_^

Pretty happy with how the tint worked out, now I just need rims, more low and a lip spoiler (will steal Kody's)

HID's are 8000k, Fogs are normal

LED Tail lights and licence plate lights.

Overcast afternoon gave me some fantastic lighting and contrast!

Nice pics!! Car looks great!

Funny though, how you start off saying, "just a lip, just some wheels,"

Then you go, hmm, wheel gap is noticeable with new wheels. So it goes to "just suspension".

By the point of just a lip and some wheels, the mod bug is already in your system. I'm sorry, there is no cure.

Fixed. I think that way sometimes, then I take my car for a drive and come back here to get more ideas....

Its not bad, being on my P's I have little experience with other cars so I can't say oh yeah its got power,

In comparison to the XR6 Turbo, not close, however it seems to go better then the CX9, and the 87 Corolla I drove LOL

Friday is my day off, and also my weekly cleaning day

I used niteshades from Repco, about 4 coats, it was $16 a can I think

For now, STI boot spoiler, front lip, and new wheels, maybe coilovers down the track, not much I can do performance wise on the 2.0R :/
