I'm planning on covering the whole light, not going for cutouts. but originally i was thinking red with cutouts, just like yours. The overlays i have are really rather light looking, & i also cant wait to see how they look, just dont have time to install yet. Hoping to get it done before i'm away travelling again. Was your install tough, did you need to use heat to make the overlays flexible? I just noticed the outer lamps have a kind of bumpy bit on the corner, that looks to be a challenging part to cover without bubbles.

My smoked tails are done, and i'm loving them. pics are up in my journal,

I recently purchased a set of Rally Armor Mud Flaps. After my spectacularly inept attempt at installing them myself (I failed to get past step 1...yes, step 1...damn I'm handy), I had them installed by a local shop.

I think they actually work really well on the car. Here are some admittedly dirty pics (during snowfall in sunshine...go figure):

looks great man!!! i'm putting mine on today when i get back from church. i'm also gonna be slapping the kartboy short shifter on too.

[hairlesswookiee]

looks good!!! i put mine on this weekend. they are a pain to put on, but once you figure out how to get the first one on its a breeze with the others. the blue logo matches our cars great!!!

I noticed in your future plans for your car, you are getting Dunlop Sport M3's (Winter Tires). I got those tires 1 month ago and they are unbelievable! You will be amazed.

Just thought I'd let you know.

Arrrggggghhhhh!!!! Why do I keep visiting the 08 forum? Everytime I come here, I start thinking about getting an 08. Can one of the Admins block this section for me?




Just kidding

Your garage is super sexy.

Nice looking STi man. I'm thinking about getting another blue/gold once I get out of the Air Force. I keep looking at the other colors but blue/gold still looks the best to me.

I recently (like...months ago) added a Lathe Works Copolymer Shift Knob (with brass insert) that I picked up from a fellow user. I think it's a significant improvement over stock. The shift knob sits much lower than the stock knob, and the feel is significantly improved. I used to have a JDM Titanium knob in my old 04 STI, but I hated the way it was ridiculously hot in the summer and freezing in the winter...this knob shouldn't have that problem...

Here's a pic:

Continuing my trend of "rather late than never" updates, I thought I'd post a few pics of iPhone integration setup.

I found a cheap iPhone/iPod holder on eBay (it's actually an FM-modulator/charger, but I just use it to hold the iPhone in place) that plugs into the 12V adaptor. It works pretty well...I can balance my hand on the collapsed ebrake to press the buttons...the iPhone functions as a secondary screen:



Here's a "full-size" view:



I run a stereo AV cord out of the armrest cubby and up to the 12V outlet by tucking it underneith the center console. The end result is that the cord is fairly obsured without me having to do any drilling or serious work:



Finally, given the ridiculous price and spotty reviews, I opted against the OEM Bluetooth microphone. Instead, I picked up a BlueTrek SurfaceSound unit for about $70:

It works exceptionally well, plus I can use it in other vehicles:

sick ride man, I want a WRB/GOLD someday but im still working at it.

the tail tints and mudflaps are about the only mods I would do, so thx for giving me a hint of what to expect.

software development ey? I was gonna guess logging, lol.
