    Me and scooby_snacks completed the job in about 8 hrs. I think it came out pretty good, were probably going to do his brothers rims on his x92.

    Please no, that look is getting way too played out. Unless you've got some other red stuff on the car to have some sort of red/white/black theme going on.

    Looks good. Whats with the holes on the front bumper?

    Looks good. What kind of paint did you use? Clear coat?

    The holes are where the splitters fit into the bumper. I was driving on the freeway in the rain and a garden spade fell out of the back of a truck and it hit my right splitter. Destroyed it so i took the other off. Im not really in any hurry to purchase another, there is no possible way to leave my parking lot where i work without hitting the front of my car on the ground.

    2-3 layers of primer then 3-4 coats of flat black. No clear coat.

    you don't want to go too thick because it will chip easily but I would wet sand it and do a clear coat. It will really make it look nice and last longer too.:)

    I hate leaving that parking lot, I might start parking next store in the vacant lot.

    really? I've only seen one white impreza with black/red lip rims. Can you show me some more, I wanna see them. By the way I'm in no way being sarcastic, I just want to see some more.
