well I'm a little confused...

But the car looks nice. I am not sure how i feel about that gold looking weave on silver, but it is for sure different than all the other subies. Looks good man.

The gold weave looks pretty sweet. Not sure about the undercarriage shots. Looks like you cleaned up some stuff.

Arn't the lateral links coated with some sort of protectant from the factory? Just like the frame of the car? Its that real thick almost rubber like dry goop.

, that is kinda what i was getting at. what finish was removed in order to achieve this 'bling'?

this could be sanded, and buffed with something similar to triboly (sp?) compound... but it will just rust in like a week

.

let us know what you did please.

thanks guys

the lateral links were sanded down,what was under the dirt and stuff was that. When you start sanding it down, you'll see the silver "bling".
then polish it.

this is for 05 STi's only im pretty sure,
