Front plate hanger is soooooo gone.
Side molding and 2.3 badges gonereally??
I will have to see some examples of that...


Tint will come when the warmer weather hits.
I will be doing some light moding.
I had a WRX back in 02 and had fun moding that...
There aremany, MANY examples of this treatment, but since you seem like a nice guy, and I am SUCH a nice guy, I'll let you see mine!!

Very nice very nice.
It does give it a cleaner look along the side.

I like the painted front emblem and center caps that looks sweeeet...

Hey Ken!! Thought we'd lost you. Welcome back!!

See,Ken (Siber Express) is one of those members we were talking about having a PPM cars... and a HB to boot!!

The pic of my car is older. I still have the painted emblem, but new wheels/tires. The center caps were actaully taped in red. It takes about 3 hrs to do and the sun beats the crap out of them. I did them over approx every 3 months, so be prepared.
A newer but still inaccurate picture.... (My current picture program sucks and I've reinstalled the factory grill w/red emblem.)

If it snows bad enough to actually stick on the roads, I stay home, since I am in Swimming Pool Construction we are not working in the snow.
But I still have the stock Badyears(Virgin1's namefor theGoodyears) on and the one ice storm we had they did pretty good. I made it to work and I was going by the dumbies in the ditches with their 4X4's. I guess learning to drive in the Blizzard of 1978 in Billerica helped [8D]

I hear you on driving in the snow.
With front wheel drive all season seem to work pretty good if you are even half a good driver.
