Took off and painted the side emblems too last night in satin black to match the rest of the trim and now headlights on the car.
Came out great, just be prepared to have blisters on your fingers from taking the glue off the car if you decide to do this! |

The LED's are sweet but an additional 6 OHM, 50 Watt resistor will be needed to avoid the hyper flash problem. |

I got one of these for my LED signals. Works like a charm. Simply unplug from stock module and plug into the LED module. Works up to 4 LED's on the car so front and rear signals are all LED's. Last edited by ScoobyFreak86; 06-07-2013 at 11:02 AM. |

Did you prime the badge before you sprayed it?

As I write often in this thread, I love to help others like I've been helped over the years by others. I never one word answer or make people feel bad for asking the same questions that are many pages back. I want people to feel comfortable asking for help or advice and I hope that I'm doing my part to make this thread a valuable resource for future WRX owners. Cheers to you mate! - Jason Nope, just sprayed right over it. Used mineral spirits and warmed it up to about 110* before I sprayed it. Did one light coat that dried instantly, than a heavier coat. Then baked for 2 hrs at 125* in a convection oven and let cool overnight. Hopefully it'll hold. If not, ill get the oem black ones, lol |

What process did you use to tint the DRL yellow? I've tried searching but to no avail. Your car looks fantastic

Still love your car man. I was going through my browser bookmarks and laughed when I saw I bookmarked this build page. How is that for a compliment. I know your detailed write ups have saved my ass more than a few times now. Keep it up man, we need more people like you on these boards. |

I haven't put much thought into the fact that it was black on white, lol. I think because I will be going with a gloss black roof soon I didn't pay much attention to how it looks now. I plan to experiment with where the black will be on the roof, I may go all the way back with through the wing or just stop at the roofs edge. We'll see, either way I'll be doing it in vinyl first, than painting once I find the look I like better. |

To me, option 2 looked the most coherent. 1 just looked like it stopped short and 3 is hard to transition with all the complex curves of the wing. I'm still debating a matte black to match wheels or gloss black to simulate paint. Hard for me to choose if I never see it in person haha. I could throw the quick photoshops in here to better illustrate what I am saying if you would like. Figured I wouldn't since I don't want to clutter your build thread. Also you are 100 times better at PS than I am |
