Last of my Black Friday parts finally showed up on the Friday before Christmas.

Moroso Catch Can for the PVC side. Was able to get this Installed over the weekend. Excuse the horrible install pick, garage heater broke and it was too dam cold to care about taking decent photos.

Make sure you drain that catch can pretty frequently on colder days.

Are the FA setups less prone to condensation/gunk buildup in the lines than the GDs? Just gotta have the lines routed so they don't freeze up?

10secdream · « **Reply #82 on:** January 05, 2018, 11:08:00 am »

I don't think so. I mean if I parked my car outside all the time I might consider removing the separator in the winter.

Haven't had any freezing issues yet but I'll keep an eye on that.

Washed the car today after getting back from a ski trip at Big White. Also was able to get the new fog light bulbs installed and removed the red lens tint and replaced with clear.

I really like the look of the fog lights without any coloured film....hmmm....
How did you find the output on asphalt in the dark? I find in rain, the asphalt tends to soak up anything around 6000k

I found this actually too recently. I clean my headlights almost every day when it's snowing / slushy outside because I drive on Deerfoot and want to see, but when the slush / snow melts and it becomes just wet asphalt, even after cleaning my headlights they don't seem to light much up

Subie's looking really good bro. The red pinstripe looks so awesome on the black!

I haven't really had much of chance to try out the fog lights yet, but I've never really had any issues with the headlights on wet asphalt. Never really felt like they were under powered or not bright enough, maybe because the headlights on my last car were POS that it was such a drastic change that I don't notice any issues?

Picked up a few more parts over the last week or so.

H&R Lowering Springs. Forgot to grab a pic so a stock will will do.

Perrin Gurney Flap

And the BIG ticket item the Ebrake button

IMG_1333 by sheldon hunt, on Flickr

Decided to install gurney flap last night.
Excuse the horrible pics... it was cold, late and to be honest didn't really feel like taking the time.
The car was clean until the drive to work this morning....

Looks aggressive. I like it. Do you have a side profile shot?

DaDuke99 · « **Reply #90 on:** February 13, 2018, 05:24:15 pm »

Did you paint the hardware, or is it just dirty? Looks way better blacked out...
Nevermind, I see now that the silver is without hardware lol
It's rather large, the hardware. Personal preference comes into play, but I think I'd try to find some slightly smaller stuff that fits

I'm not sure how much smaller you could go as the holes in the flap are slotted so you need a bit larger hardware to cover the holes.
The only option would be maybe to go with a larger head bolt and lose the washer. might give it a cleaner look ?
I thought about switching them out for some burnt titanium bolts but I'm thinking it might be a bit much.

Oh rats, I don't think I like the way it looks as much from that angle

I agree, the black keeps it clean. Titanium would draw too much attention to it

The side view is not quite as appealing but I think I can deal with since I really enjoy the look from the back. Also I think it wont be as noticeable once the car is lowered and I have the summer rims back on.
The black hardware will be staying for the time being, might play around with a few ideas in Photoshop.

Thank Man!

Since it was a bit nicer out today I decided to install the Prolightz fog lights bezels. Was a pretty easy install, other then the right side bezels was dam tight going in.
The Color is slightly off from the Diode Dynamics C-lights but its hard to tell in the photos. I also decided to wrap the stock Turn signals as it seem redundant to have 3 turn signals.
Wasn't sure what i wanted to do with them so for right now I wrapped in them black vinyl to match the bezels.

Overall I'm pretty happy with them.
Old VS New

I'm a fan of the color theme. Installing the lowering springs in the spring?

Yeah I’m going to be putting them on when I put put the summer whees on most likely.

hunts_13 · « **Reply #99 on:** February 28, 2018, 04:00:45 pm »

So I'be been looking at buying new summer rims,as I would like something that fills out the wheel wells a little better. I'm am undecided on what color to go with... suggestions?
