Looks so good! The paint matched fog bezel and hood look way better to me.

Thanks. I agree with the fogs and hood. Now that it's off, I have to admit, I never really loved it. Always thought it looked funny, and not in a good way.
Looks great man! saw you at the 780 opener, car looks amazing in person.  :o
Thanks

Dang that looks hot.  Congratulations.

Do you like your fog lights black?
Thanks, to be honest, I don't know. It was something I wanted to try. It looked good last year, this year im not sure.
Ah, I was curious, but I can respect that.  (But get some matching ones ;))


Been looking at the car a lot the last couple of weeks, been debating whether or not I should keep the black wrap or remove it. Lot of pics on ig are making me rethink the wrap. What do you guys think

REMOVE IT

Quoting these so Dan can shut his face about me having bad taste. 

Shut your face Dan. 

Yes, I am butthurt.

Also, car looks awesome.

Yay, a little more time to play with the car.

Finished the tire lettering


Had some issues with fitment on the rear diffuser. I'm going to blame it on trying to rush and get it all done for the season opener. Anyways, there was a large gap on the passenger side on the little foldy corner......bad description, so here's a fixed picture. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture before. Gap was between the rear spat, and diffuser fin. It's still there slightly. Had to add another screw. The ones that came with the kit were too short. Now I gotta find another screw that looks like it but longer. Just used a generic hex socket bolt. Not very pretty, but it'll do.

Your car flows well, front to back. From the scoop to the lettering to the tail.. everything flows nicely. Looks really good.

As some of you may know, I had my car up for sale. Well, it sold and was delivered to it's new owner on Monday. While I am a little sad leaving it after so many years of blood sweat and tears, I can finally move on to something else.

This community has helped me in more ways than I can imagine. Met some people, gained some new friends along the way. It's been a great journey, and for that, I'd like to say Thank you.

Some day I might find myself back in another Subaru, but for now, I want to play with other things

Crap. I was hoping it wouldn't sell. Congrats :(
