Gold wheels, on white looks great. Especially on the around 05 blob eye.

Thanks! It's amazing how different it looks with the gold versus the stock gunmetal/anthracite/greyish color. The Aspen White blob eyes are such a beautiful color.

Looks good. I'm planning on doing the anthracite metallizer on my GTI's phone dials.

Nice! This is probably my favorite generation wagon, and Kartboy makes some seriously good shit, totally transformed the way the transmission in my FR-S felt.

Yeah, for sure, the bushings and shifter made a huge difference. I'll probably upgrade all the bushings/engine&trans mounts / end links over time with the kartboy products. How long have you had the FR-S?

That would look awesome.

Thanks. Yeah, she's fast as hell stock. The summer tires have so much grip; it's a pleasure after riding on the winter rubber from November to April.

About a year now

And if the engine/trans/diff mounts on the WRX are anywhere near as soft as the stock ones on my FR-S were, then some stiffer upgrades will make a world of difference!

just clean real good and spray? Did you use a white base?

Looks great! I like the gold rims. Best part is it's fast and will seemingly never depreciate! Seriously, when looking for my car I tried to find one in my price range but that was impossible. Well there was one, except it had a power steering fluid leak. These things are just impossible to find.

Cleaned really good then dried and sprayed; I used a black base.

FYI i unshared your comment to oppo just now. there is no need to get into who's right and who's wrong in that debate on car buying...but bringing a fight into oppo is a no no. just so you know.
