Randoms after a fresh wash




From the last Dyno Day

 

NICE!!!!!

All you need now are black wheels

 

was going to suggest the same thing..looking good brother

 

i like what you did with the headlights, never thought about that when i did mine, i did the whole outside aswell
nice

 

Thanks! yea I was going for the whole angel eye look....I was pleased with the way it came out!!

 

I liked the blacked out look (see Milo's ride!), but it seems like bad luck naming your car "death wagon". Unless you're providing hearse services?

 

neg on the hearse services, it just looks like it should be carryin bodies:naughty:

 

I know!! I need to get the guys number that did yours....

 

I'm going to drop another wheel with them sometime next week.

 

if I can find some other stock wheels I will take them in with ya....

 

how do u do the roof rack delete? I wanna take mine off my wagon. I see you still have the rails in the pic, did you do it after?

 

no I haven't done the roof rail delete yet, I got the parts from subaruparts.com also check this out http://www.egansworld.com/oldsite/RoofRails.html

thanks dude, it's a working progress!

 

That'll look just like 7wolf's car when you take the rails off. Lemme know if you've got any questions regarding that install, its pretty straightforward.

 

Thanks bro, Probably going to install this weekend hopefully....

 

Your wagon is looking nice Mike. It will look so cool with the roof rails deleted. I was so happy when I got mine off. That is some really nice tint btw....

Mark

 

thanks man

 

:coolugh:Looks Sweet!!!:coolugh:

 

how much you want for them?

Thanks bud!

Thanks guys.....it's a working progress......

So when are we gonna do the wagon pic day? I wanna see this thing in person...

I know a good camera man!

 

:bowdown:Congrats man, sweet ride !

 

let do some photos then!!! FTW

thanks man!!!

 

hey Michael, I see your right below me on the list for the Subaru Challenge. You also are located in Norcross which is where i work. We should catch a lunch at the Sonic on Jimmy Carter some day. I would like to check out your wagon.

 

As for a good camera man, what are you looking to do? I am a pro photographer could definately be of service.

By the way, how come I keep seing these large avitar and signature photos when I was limited to a certain size? I want a bigger photo too!

I took half of these in norcross. The rest are from a ride to the Tail of the Draggon.

As for a camera man, yeah we need a good one. My friend Jenn is a pro photographer and she will be coming to the Subaru Challenge to take some pics of everyone. So they should turn out good.

as for the avitars thats probably a question for alex or milo is probably due to the fact that your a junior member i'm guessing.....

nice site BTW.....

 

Very cool! Yes, I got a chance to meet Jenn. She is very cool. She had asked me where I got my press pass and I was like, um nope, no press pass here. It was not that formal of an event thank goodness. Otherwise I would have needed to break out my AJC badge. I have not seen her photos from the event just yet. I don't think she has posted them yet. Here is a link to the shots I took. I am planning on doing a stop animation to some music with them. I should have that up in a couple days or so.

By the way, it was nice getting the chance to meet you in person. Loved the ride!

 

yeah she's a cool chick, she said you took some 700 photos, I'll call her tomorrow and she if she has uploaded them to her site yet and then I'll post the link up to it! I told her I wanted her to photoshop a couple ones for me so we'll see!!

 

email me what you want photoshoped. I am a member of NAPP (national association of photoshop professionals). I am a pimp in that software. paulperdue@perduevision.com What is it that you would like to see happen with the photos? Color corrections, colorizations, BW, Sepia, custom digital tweaking, you name it. Today is looking slow at work so I might have some time to hit em up.

 

I was your starter at the Subaru Challenge. I loved your wagon. The black wheels really set the whole thing off.

 

I saw your car at SOG for the pre meet, That thing is sexy bro.
I give you a big :bigthumb: up.

 

buy some RE01rs

 

well actually you don't have any pic of me, but once she's get's them up I'll post them up.

Thanks man!!

Thanks bro, it's still a working progress...

You said it bro, dam did you see me slidin all over the place?

There on the christmas list!! (for myself)

 

Well if you plan to come out to this meet

http://www.wrxatlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16607
