What's up guys. I've been around the car scene my whole life. I am a auto body tech in the twin cities. I used to be a metal fabricator at a custom hot rod shop here in MN. This is my second suby that I have come to own. I had a 03 2.5 rs for a matter or a few months. I've always been interested in boosted 4 bangers. I had a very clean SRT4 for about 2.5 years it was a e85 can that I did all the work my self. Car was fun on the highway but spinning really gets old. Then I picked up a 01 audi a4 with a frankenturbo setup it was a fun car for the time I had it just wasn't quick enough. Looked into evo 8's couldn't find a clean enough one for a decent price so I test drove a 14 wrx sedan at the dealer and ordered my WRB WRX 5 dr in October and I received it first week of December and couldn't be happier. Mods Exterior. Transparent candy paint on tail lights (overlay look) Blacked out the headlamp housings JDM black fender badges. Debadged the gate other then the WRX 3m 15% window tint all around Rear wiper delete. Drivetrain Kart boy STS with bushings Cobb shift knob. Future mods 18x9.5 rota g force with 265/35/18 nitto invo's Invidia race exhaust Perrin intake/turbo inlet ID 1000cc injectors Dw 65cc fuel pump Grim speed up pipe with EWG. Cobb v3 access port AEM wide band Defi boost gauge. All performance mods will be done at one time with a pro tune. Either Ron at RS or Shane and DB performance will do the tune until I order a dom 1.5 xtr for a fun DD I'll get photos once it's finally warm out side. Alex
Welcome to the forum! You might want to rethink that rear wiper delete...that thing comes in handy, esp during Minnesota winters
Thanks guys. I wont be using the wiper it scratches the soft tempered glass over time and im super OCD about my vehicles.
Its just house of color candy brandywine we had at the shop took some home and tinted the clear coat i was to use and preped the surface with a wet grey schotchbrit pad. Actually did some for a customers 13 black hatch about a month before my car came it. Iv always sprayed tails or anything for that matter out of a gun.
The final product. This spring i will wet sand and buff the tails. Seeing how i did this about ten mins after getting the car home. Also going to shave the anttena and paint the roof/top of spoilers black and shave the front license plate mount when work slows this summer
Its 15% bravo productions in wayzata did the job. Great guys over there and phenomenal work. One of the only things i wont do personally on my car.
Those tails look fantastic. Do you do this for others? PM me if you would be willing to do this for my 2012 DGM hatch, and what you might charge!!!
Haha yea i just got used to using my mirrors. If you have the rear defrost on during the rain it helps a lot.
Yea i would be interested in doing that. I do a lot of side work when ever i can. PM i cant figure it out. Im a mechanical person tech stuffs not my gig.
Added a little red carbonfiber to my radio bezel for the time being. Hopefully ordering some alacantara soon to start "softening up" the interior.
Wheels coming soon. Also some custom one off interior upgrades from my upholstry buddy. Getting ready for spring early
Got wheels from a member on here last weekend. This weekend i got around to repairing them. Getting powder coated and new tires to be ready for spring here shortly
Also in the future, fabricating strut tower bracing and a front splitter. Wondering if anyone else would be interested in buying one after proto type is made and tested. Will be able to get in a large variety of colors.
Would you be interested in repairing my 2005 Legacy GT Limited? Some coward hit it and drove away. IMG_4925 by philethier, on Flickr
