so what colors and what wheels would u suggest for a 03 black wagon? i was thinking maybe some 04 gold sti BBS if i can find some

Do some searching for keywords: gold, BBS, wagon, black

I did some searching before I got my gold STi BBS' and saw a photo or two of a wagon with sti golds.... it looked AWESOME! Very aggressive IMHO.

BTW... my car is on the previous page. Good luck finding gold BBS' though!! That's a whole other story! :LOL:

hnd-kla, what exhaust is that??? btw, your car looks like it would eat my children, haha. what kinda drop?? looks sweet

Amazake · 03-27-2005, 08:09 PM

The old exhaust is a Bushur Racing 2.5" and the new exhaust is APS 2.5" with a 3" tip.

Currently, No drop SPT suspension kit.

i like the before much better than the after

Amazake · 03-27-2005, 09:37 PM

Can I ask why?

ride height?
spoiler?
wheels?
grillcraft grills?

piker28 · 03-27-2005, 09:40 PM

spoiler and wheels mainly

i didnt look that closely at ride height

Amazake · 03-27-2005, 09:50 PM

That's cool. I think the spoiler is going to scare the "rice police" but I sort of like it.

kcook · 03-27-2005, 10:08 PM

i like the before look better ..

Same here, not a fan of the S202 style spoiler, the legacy wheels are nice though but I think your car would look better with the stock spoiler.

Amazake · 03-28-2005, 07:36 AM

I thought the before look was just to dingy

MPREZD · 03-28-2005, 08:06 AM

Here's mine a little while ago....but a little bit different now as far as suspension and catback....

Gator GT · 03-28-2005, 12:33 PM

hnd-kla, I have to agree with the "like before look more than after look"....as much as I love the Legacy GT rims....the look you achieved with the subdued rims and the all black motif, worked much better than the GT rims......well, if you get them finished in black or charcoal or steel grey then I'd change my mind.

And even though the STi 'S' cars are supposed to be the pinnicle of Subaru perfomance and looks, I don't like the 202 wing. I just don't like it. I think the car would look better with nothing on the trunk.

And on a side note...the tail light covers kind of make the rear look like a super-hero with a mask on....just looks funny.

Otherwise, keep up the good looks! Love the morettes.

Amazake · 03-28-2005, 05:14 PM

Batman!

I am getting it from the NESIC crowd for being a ricer. The before look did win a Best Apperance award @ the New England Dragway meet hosted by Exeter Subaru. I just felt it was getting old and wanted a fresh look.

Ride height-Too tall, needs to be lower.
Spoiler-I like but does not go with wheels. Wheels look stock, but you have a big spoiler. Doesn't flow.
Wheels-Might look better if powder coated/painted black, bronze, or gold and if the car was lowered.
Grillcraft grills-kinda ricey, and not my style.

It's your car so mod it how you like. If you are looking for your car to fit in on this web site you have to have a carbon of somebody elses car. Just know people will give you "Feedback" on how they feel you should mod it.

I'd say lower the car, and paint the rims graphite or bronze. But hey that's just me. All my cars are lowered and I have bronze or dark colored rims, go figure.

Amazake · 03-28-2005, 06:49 PM

Going back up to stock height kind of bothers me too
I would like 04 Tanabe Gf210 springs or sti pinks but I already had two alignments this year. One when installed aluiminum control arms, pressing in bushings and adding subframe bolts. The other switching from oem struts to the sti setup.

The grillcraft grills actually serve a purpose. My A/C is removed and the grillcraft grills are protecting the radiator.

I wasn't really looking for advise, and I appreciate the feedback. I wanted to post pics because the new look is NOT a carbon cutout of NASIOC cars. I think only silverrex4 and I are the only ones to paint the ends of the sti spoiler.

Once I clean the car, I am going to have some real pictures taken.
