Pics of the wagon by request - Now with tinting goodness!!

Thanks for the wheels Trey!







Its on a hill so the front wheel gap is larger than when its flat.

Next is tint.

 

oooh very nice!!

 

didn't think STI wheels fit on the wrx.... looks great though!!!

 

the 04 sti's had the 5x100 bolt patter like the wrx' have

 

very nice indeed! gold on black looks awesome!

bugeye wagons rock!!!!!!!!!

 

looks sooo nice....

 

Looks really good.

 

congratulations... not only do they look good but they are light as hell and very high quality :bigthumb:

 

tint your windows and that will seal the deal man!! nice looking bugeye dude!

 

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

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

 

mmmm black and gold my fav combo!

 

get 20% legal is even worse.

I didn't think those wheels fit on an 02

 

That wagon is so badass, very similiar to Effrem's....except he has silver rims..I need to post a pic of mine as soon as I can get a digital camera...Nice pics...

Looks good Andy! Thanks again!!

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

 

Did you ever get those wondows tinted ? The reason I bring it up is I was thinking of doing so but white might be different.

 

Looks great man I trying to save up enough cash to buy some gold BBS's!

 

sexy for sure!

 

Very sexy man. + 1 for the gold.

 

Pics of the tint!

Thanks to MVP for the tint job on their "grand opening" day gathering.





Next is removing the roof rails. (yeah, I go slow)

Edit: these pics dont show off the tint... brb with better pics...

Better pics! Oh, and I got legal on the front windows, and 20% on the rear windows (I keep junk in the trunk)

 

Put the new hood scoop on, and I'm 50/50 on it... :hs:

Its HUGE, but its not really over the top.

 

clean wagon! i like it with the bbs!

 

:bigthumb: I won't your car....Wagon FTW!

 

Car is looking good.

 

Represent

 

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...



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