Nice man! Not wild about body kits, but yours doesn't look too bad. I love the tail lights though. I'm new to JDM Subaru but I used to have a JDM Civic. Are they actually JDM tail lights or a mod you did to the stock ones? Also how did you the the turn and reverse part amber? It looks soooo good

Thanks! The tail lights are tinted. I do plan on sending to this guy in NY that spray tints them, makes it look way more OEM looking than putting a Tint Film over them like mine are. The tail lights are mod'ed to be like the "JDM" ones. Check this thread out, it should tell you how to exactly do the same on your car. I love the look better than the way they looked stock. The circls light up as you are just cruising, which looks sick (GTR style'ish). Here is the thread: JDM Taillights

Are those just the smoke covers or the dark/stealth smoke covers? And are those the only thing that give your reverse lights the amber tint?

They are the smoke, not the dark. Yah the tint is what is making the reverse lights "amber'ish".

Update:

Just stopped by the body shop to check out the goodies....wow, they came out great. A little wet sanding here and there is needed, but no big deal. He hopes to have them on today, if not the car will def *crosses fingers* tomorrow. He is working on my car ONLY, no others today, thats how focused he is on it. We shall see!

Billy, for the rear, I plan on buying the Ings+1 Hybrid Aero rear bumper. I still have plans for the front fenders, hood, B & C pillars, and an area on the rear of the roof. After all that, the only thing I could think of is the Ings+1 CF Canards,rims, and the headlights! Its getting there.

For now I will focus on the exterior so it ties in with my scheme of plans. A little interior pieces here and there, and get parts for the turbo! Little by little, aslong as I am still saving for the apartment move, I am good on ordering parts.

Also picked this little sucker up from a member who was parting out (Subaru JDM S203 Hazzard Button):

I love the INGS kit. Can't wait to see how the whole car turns out. Looks great so far, although I'm not really feeling the grille...

Looks Great!

It also looks low. Did you ever get corner balanced? If not, now may be the time to do it for the sake of your eleventy billion dollar body kit.
