Off camber turns are hard
This was the coolest autox course ever. There were elevation changes and banked turns. |

Last bit of pictures before I put an JDM STi Front Lip on my newly repainted / repaired from bumper. I had a freaking pick-up truck back his trailer hitch into me front bumper and drive off when I was parked. I hate pick-ups. I repaired the damage and all other minor imperfections and prepped it for paint myself with the supervision of the best damn body man in Miami. Still had to pay $120 to get it painted. Final product to be posted soon. Stay posted.

Okay, here is the story. I went out for the night and parked my car in Coconut Grove. Some redneck with a pickup trunk backed his ugly truck's trailer hitch right into my front bumper. The following picture of the damage makes it look better than it was.
I wasn't there to see it happen so Mr. Drunken ******* got away scott free. I filed a police report anyway hoping for the best but expecting the worst. After getting some body work done on my old Prelude, I made a good connection with one of the best damn bodyshop guys in south Florida. The shop happens to be right across the street from my apartment, European Automitive). This guy fixes all those cars you and I will never afford (Lambo, Ferarri, Maserati, Porsche, Bentley, Rolls Royce) at all hours of the night. He can fix these rides so you would never even know it was repaired. I convinced him to let me use the shops tool and materials to repair the damage while he supervised me. And so it began... ^^^ I repaired main damage with sand paper and bondo. ^^^ I repaired all minor imperfections and rock chips and primered almost the whole bumper (left the sides, where to bumper and fender meet, blue to allow for blending). After a lot of sanding, re-sanding and cleaning I finally had the bumper ready to paint. ^^^ In the mean time, I ordered a JDM STi optional front lip accessory from another WRX owner who no longer wanted it. I got tired of waiting for the painter to work me into his schedule, so I test fitted the lip on the unpainted bumper. ^^^ I worked out a sweet deal with the painter for paint, clear coat and labor all for $120. Note that when I originally went to the manager of the shop for an estimate, I was quoted at $600! I saved a hell of a lot of cash by working the repair myself and I got a lot of experience out of it. |

I have offically gone wingless. On the day of the trunk swap my EZ-Pass malfunctioned and I got 2 fine letters in the mail. Take a look at the toll booth photos. Mad funny.
Anyway, check out the real pictures. The first batch was taken at night. Last edited by S1MPSONS; 03-05-2006 at 02:30 PM. |

Thanks everyone! Tints are next on the agenda. I sent an email last night to Lee Berbs to schedule the tinting. He came highly recommended for tinting from everyone on the NASIOC Tri-State Forum.
Opinions? 20% or 35% As far as dropping it goes, I wouldn't mind doing a moderate drop, may 1 to 1.5", but I won't do it until I can confirm that ride quality won't be totally sacraficed. Also I have to be sure that I won't be hitting the bumpstops on hard turns Last edited by S1MPSONS; 03-06-2006 at 02:03 PM. |

You get an "A" for the write up. I would have given you an "A+" but the there are a couple of typos.
Seriously, I gotta give it up for doing the bodywork yourself! Nice work. |

Awesome story man. I love the front lip......sexy. However, I would have kept the stock STI rims, they are hot.....but thats just my oem flavor.
Nice job! |

Nice car! And great write-up! Did you have to stuff the trunk with sound-deadning material? I would imagine that the wing might rattle an awful lot without it. That's the only thing I don't like about sound systems. With a small, clean system like that, it's not the weight from the componenents that makes me not want one, it's all the extra crap you have to put in to stop the rattles.
