Personally love the look of a white car though.

Still want these Volk Rays G25 wheels.

kyletakahero · 08-08-2012, 06:19 PM

So that's what they will look like on a hatch. Hmmmm.

chanomatik · 08-08-2012, 06:25 PM

Some of those pics came from www.fujicorporation.com. Pretty nifty site. You'll need Google Translate or such.

So I'm trying out Google Chrome and Google+ right now.
Is there a way to save links like in FireFox that you can just click and go?

kyletakahero · 08-08-2012, 07:01 PM

Never mind, figured it out ;p

I know someone on here made their own mudflaps last year. I forgot who, and my search skills are lacking at the moment.

Anyone know where I could get some rubber? I have the stiffy mudflaps for the forester, but I was thinking of making my own that stuck out a little bit more, and hung down a little lower. Was going to use my current RA's as templates, just make them a tad larger.

Alaska Rubber.

Did my mudflaps myself too. You don't want them to hang down too low or it will catch your rear tires in reverse in winter and you won't be happy. Picked up an 1/8" x 4' x 3' for about $50ish from Alaska Rubber.

Thanks. I pretty much figured reverse would be a killer in winter. Plan is to just make it about an inch wider and hang an inch lower.

I'm mostly tired of hearing the disturbing scraping when I drive over a large speed bump/curb. I'm too cheap to spend $160 for floppys from RA, especially since I already have the stiffies.

nasiocjunkie · 08-09-2012, 12:55 PM

Just felt the ground shake.

insane_one · 08-09-2012, 04:28 PM

What can i do to get rid of a bee hive? This hive is located at the corner of my house under the roof. i have a 2 story house so it isnt in a reachable area. Is there someone i can call or something i can do without beeing stung?

AKRS · 08-09-2012, 04:31 PM

Burn it!

AKRS · 08-09-2012, 04:32 PM

I always get a long pole, smack it, and run

insane_one · 08-09-2012, 04:52 PM

wont they come back and try to rebuild it? do they stay in that area and try to find who did it? lol theres alot of kids in my neighborhood so i dont want them to get blamed for what i did lol

Dominator · 08-09-2012, 05:00 PM

A lot of wasp and bee killer sprays are a direct stream, not a wide spray pattern. It could probably reach up to the area without getting all over everything. Or, the poke and run technique would work too.

AKRS · 08-09-2012, 05:03 PM

The poke and run technique works in many situations

_davin · 08-09-2012, 05:08 PM

Borrow a super soaker from one of the neighborhood kids.

insane_one · 08-09-2012, 05:36 PM

size matters? this is like the size of a basketball, maybe bigger lol. im afraid ill wack it and only break part of it and them not leaving lol

ill post a vid of what happens. gunna find a pole long enough to whack it

AKRS · 08-09-2012, 05:43 PM

Try and aim for the top. If only part breaks off, return later for the rest
