xluben's 2011 WRX: Spec B 6 Speed and Rotated PTE 6266 - Page 54

Minnesota is unseasonably warm this year. It was torture using the winter tires the last couple weeks. Now that you mention it, this the first set of brand new wheels I've gotten too (besides my steelies).

Function FTW. People seem to forget that track cars aren't slammed. If you are only worried about how your car looks in pictures, then slamming it is cool I guess. But if you want the best handling car you can have, it isn't a good idea.

I like the height you have it now.

xluben · 03-22-2012, 07:32 AM

Thanks. It is a pretty good height. Could be a touch lower but then I'd probably start scraping on things.

Also, it probably looks higher because of the low shooting angle. I am literally laying on the ground to take these.

excellent

rsutton1223 · 03-23-2012, 09:46 AM

Have you thought about debadging at all?

Yes, I have thought about it, but I haven't done it. I think it looks clean, but I don't like the idea of trying to make it look like I have something I don't have (ie. STI impersonator). Seems pretty dumb now that I think about it.

I think you'd only have to worry about being an STi impersonator when you replace the current badging with STi ones. And reading through your thread, I can safely assume you won't be doing such things. lol

Celery GT-5 · 03-23-2012, 10:28 AM

why does debadging make you an sti impersonator? lol

having a 2011-2012 wrx pretty much makes you one anyway..lol

are your tails overlays or painted?

I left the WRX as the only one on there.

IDK, makes people not know if it's a WRX or STI in hopes of them assuming it's an STI? Dumb, I know.

My tail lights are vinyl overlays.

LMAO you should do it just for a quick photo to mess with people.

xluben · 03-23-2012, 11:15 AM

I wish I had one.

Celery GT-5 · 03-23-2012, 11:27 AM

I have an SE-R badge..lol

I think RSX type S too..lol

xluben · 03-23-2012, 11:31 AM

Put them on! Throw a GT and SS badge on each fender too.

Celery GT-5 · 03-23-2012, 11:32 AM

I was gonna do it, then remembered I'm stuck with the civic today..lol
