    Cleaned up the BRZ wheels and got the paint touched up in anticipation of putting them on. Only a week or two to go!

    Before...

    What'd you get done? I want to get my windows tinted and that was one of the places I got a quote from but haven't decided where to go yet

    40% tint put on our 03 WRX. Was out of there in under two hours and it looks great.

    TIC fender brace installation, larger outback rear rotors/brackets/stoptech pads, and whiteline steering rack bushings installed. Oh yeah, put the summers on. Had to wait til the coast was clear and my neighbors snow pile finally melted. Thank you @Krazylegz1485 for the good times help.

    Took the bugeye out on a spirited drive in the country for the first time this year (yay!). Everything seems to be in good shape for summer, still pulling and stopping strong. Had my 3-year-old son with me for his first ride in it because he'd been asking to ride in "the fast blue car" lately. He absolutely loved it, kept asking me to go fast and never got scared at all, which is good because I can't seem to get out of the house without him trailing right behind me.
    Finally got to test the JDM projectors with LED bulbs too, output is good and the low beams have a nice clean cutoff but they definitely need to be aimed lower. Once I get them adjusted correctly I'll try to post a pic here for any who are curious.

    Tint Pros or Lifestyle Tint. They collaborate with each other so they're very similar on the quality scale.

    I think last time I asked he required a prescription to go below 50% which I don't have

    Never have had him ask me that. He has done both of my cars at 30%.

    I've had nothing but great experiences with Chris. Great guy, honest, and stands by his work. He's done a couple jobs on my FXT and on my Dad's '18 STi and we've been very happy with his service.

    I love the grocery list vinyls! I think I recognize most of which items parody which brands. Are you planning to sell these? While I probably won't put any on my car, I'd love to get a small size set to put on my MacBook. Heck, I think a t-shirt with this would be awesome!

    Took advantage of the nice weather today and washed, clayed, and waxed the car. Took a photo showing the nice shine and my phone decided to make an effects black and white photo. I thought it looked pretty cool.

    HUGE shoutout to @JasonoJordan @Navar Hren and @Mnelson for helping me out last Sunday installing my coilovers (per my post in the DIY Coilover Installation Thread), fixing/diagnosing my Hella Lights that were having electrical problems, and cleaning up my assortment of crappy wires hanging around my engine bay. Seriously, you guys are awesome for going above and beyond with these fixes. Next meetup, beers are on me!

    Images are currently day 3 after alignment with some camber to both front and rear. Might be a little hard to see it.

    Looking good. Where did your alignment numbers ultimately end up? Did you get the new relay for your Hella lights and get them back up and running?

    Without getting that extra part that you and Navar mentioned for additional camber, I've got -1.7 in Front and -2.6 in Back. I might give it a while before I start tinkering with height and camber, really figure out what I want first. But I still need to make my trip to grab that, sometime this week I'd assume.

    Took the 31st and Lake exit on 35W in Uptown yesterday. Pulled up next to a homeless woman and she asked me if my WRX was parked all winter because of how dirty it is...the nerve.

    Used some hand made ramps to get the car off the ground enough to fit the jack under while changing the tires today. IMG_20180503_190239.jpg

    Opened up the headlights on my wrx last night to install LED c-lights, bi-xenon HID retrofit projectors, and paint the internal housing black. Everything went according to plan! Only downside was finishing up at 1:15 am... would not recommend on a week night.

    For mine I use the plastic car ramps and then 2x6 leading up to it and it works fine.

    How did I miss the thread about this wreck happening? I suspect it was there when you purchased it??
