I also know which weds you're referring to, I was just stating that it is possible to be below the $2k mark with the top brands as well

^^^Nice car T3h_Clap, Love Aspen, however I got WRB this time on my new one. I am in St. Louis now but I just noticed your location, I had an Aspen white 2006 STI with some spec C type R.A goodies, roof vent,wheels,logos,etc I wonder if you ever saw it around the Pompano beach area ? As I lived in Lighthouse point when I had it..

Cheers.

thanks,

yeah I'm familiar with the car.

I tried chasing you down one day at the hooters by the Pompano Muvico but we were on foot, and it would've be tough to catch ya.

Good taste my subie friend, so far so good (I voted on the second advanīs too ).
I liked your overlays so much that I will be ordering some soon (as soon as I get a response from Blue Batmobile).
Did you installed them yourself?
Was it hard?
Any tips...
Thanks and keep up the good work.

Thank you, I think I will be getting the Advan RS is Gold 18x9 +29. Let's hope it works!

As far as the overlays, they aren't that hard. Be sure to clean the lights and wet them before you apply the film (I used a water/baby shampoo solution). I don't recall what the ratio was, but it was a very minimal amount of baby shampoo.

Start with the overlays on the rear of the hatch as they are flat and pretty easy to apply. Just be sure to get all the water/air out starting from the middle and working out. The corner lights you will need to be patient and you will need a heat gun on low or a hair dryer. You need to heat the overlay up to make it workable and then you just stretch it over the curves using your fingers. If you know a shop that can do it and do it for cheap, that might be your best bet. I'm not sure how experienced you might be doing something like this. I've done some tints and overlays before so I was somewhat confident. Good luck!

18x9? Why not go wider? Hasn't it been shown that 9.5s with nicely sized tires fit fine?

I am going aggressive (+29). I'm not looking for wide wheels or tires. I just want something other than stock that is aggressive. This is my DD for the time being.
