    I agree. I edited the first post cause yeah, tint is needed.

    Tint and then I remove the roof rails. :D Or, I remove the roof rails first... dunno, we'll see. :eek:hnoes:


    Thanks. Yeah, the ride is MUCH stiffer now. I had oversized tires on the stock rims before, and I didn't realize how much roll oversized tires would create. I almost went with oversized tires again, but I realized that my car is no where close to lacking acceleration grip. AWD, duh! :rofl: I can take corners at vastly increased speeds now. Its pretty awesome. The car is much more "tossable" now.

    I definitely like the wagon. Black and gold is nice. I am in the same boat, just need the tint to "complete" the astetics. What % where you thinking about for tint?

    Probably going to go with the darkest law will allow. It would really complete the black look. :wiggle:

    Looks good Andy! Thanks again!!

    Legal is 35% and looks great, any darker and you'll need chrome 22" wheels. :p

    The scoop is pretty outrageous but it seems to work on the car. I like it!

    Yeah, its a little big but if the car wasn't black I wouldn't even think about a scoop that big and carbon fiber - it would be an eyesore to me. Every once in a while I think I should remove it, but form follows function for me and the cooling has got to be great.

    Back from the dead with this thread.
    I bought the same car back from K. Marx and he took really good care of it.
    Came back with a 6MT from an STi, a stage 2 tune and all the supporting modifications. He also swapped out the gold BBS for some Silver, but I don't hold that against him. My family has always been against the gold.

    To get a baseline I took the wagon to Top Speed to get the dyno and it made 237 to the wheels. Which is pretty damn good for a stock 2.0 with 150K on the ODO...

    [​IMG]

    and here is the video while on the dyno. (loud)
