Shift Knob.
You should have put that on the hand brake! It looks so nice though. Cool idea!

Like that sort of, just with mesh in the front end, maybe a few layers to prevent too much crap from getting in. That's what I ended up doing.... Worked well enough, I think. Until the raccoon "modified" my bumper.... Stupid raccoon... |

Are you the one who posted up a pic of the bumper with "stitches"? 'Cause that looked freakin' badass.
I have the OEM fogs in right now, so maybe I'll sell them and put the hellas there. Then again, it'd be almost the same as having them in the lower grill area in terms of problems during the winter. By the way, does anyone have a good way of removing the brackets that comes with the hellas? I run a 300 PFT and I'm having problems getting it off.... As for removing the bumper, I'll get around to it eventually. Was in a hit and run about 3 weeks after I took delivery...some prick hit my car in the parking lot and didn't leave a note. There's a 12"x1/8" streak of paint missing from my front bumper... A bit off topic, I was trying to record a video of my '11 WRX's clicking clutch problem, and in the middle of it it developed into the "broken firewall weld" squeak problem. Daggon 3G WRX... |

Could always mount the lights down there, but that would remove some of the uniqueness. It'd still be cool though, just like most of that dudes build. Bunch of nifty but inexpensive mods. I took the brackets off my hellas using a concrete step to hold them in place (horn off the edge of the step) stand on the bracket and break that bitch free. Sucks about the bumper, at least my destruction waited till almost a year into ownership..... Lead to some good times, and some great learning experiences though. |

Oh **** you're the guy with the mad max WRX on dirty Impreza! Big fan here. Been wanting to get mine lifted as well. Would you mind posting your suspension/wheel/tire setup?

That's the one! And thanks, my goal for 2013 is to have that suspension setup when I hit the backroads in Maine.

I'd probably skip the 1" spacers if you enjoy sticking to the road though, mine slips around turns pretty bad now. Then again it's probably a combo of large floppy tires, higher COG, my endlinks being essentially ****ed, and just generally needing to go through my entire setup and do adjustments on stuff. it was pretty stiff and tight at first though..... Oh, and no problem, glad to help.

for those of you that remember, i purchased a set of LED lights and the seller sent me some blue ones. today a correct set arrived that are actually white.
the bonus on these is that the lens comes off with 2 screws from the front, thus when winter comes i will be able to pull the front off, wrap the lens with tinted yellow vinyl and easily but them back on. |

self-important = a person who overestimates their own importance and exhibits arrogant or pompous behavior You're just one more schmuck on this forum, but through your posts it's clear that you have appointed yourself arbiter of what is "unique" and therefore what is worthy of being posted in this thread. You also appear to believe that you have the power to compel others to leave this thread or stop posting on it. Wrong on both counts. Ask for whatever you want... |

Dale, you've been added to the ignore list, since you are obviously a pompous turd who can't get the hint. Good luck, hope you figure out how to grow up and add to the discussion. |

Lol, I understand there is a big difference, so I need to decide what I will need them for in the first place. But regardless I would like to eventually work on something along those lines.
I'll have to look into those LED's. loving the ideas though. |

I though I'd try my hands at making halos for my headlights to accent the red eyes. plus it was a cheaper option then buying the kit from the online stores. Here are a few pics of the progress.
materials: LED's = 4$ Resistors = 2$ Blind adjuster rods = 4$ Heat wrap = 6$ Lead free solder 5$ Total Cost: 21$ Tools: drelmel oven tape wire pliers screwdriver socket wrench gorilla glue spent all night but I think it paid off. I will get better pics of them when it gets darker. Last edited by ravenlunatic; 10-06-2012 at 11:07 AM. |

That's pretty slick. So you just heated up the blind adjuster rods so you could bend them into a circular shape, then stuck LEDs into either end?

Relocated the GR's clock pod to the 2nd din compartment instead of my cubby hole. |
