Those wheels are... distracting.

Otherwise, pretty clean build!

They are hazardous to other drivers, they seem pretty distracted by them, and thanks!

How many bags of cement?

Careful now. Can’t post any mods that aren’t performance related. This one hurt your lap times so you are now banished from oppo.....

In all seriousness, it’s a nice look. Orange isn’t a color I see too often for forester wheels. Any other plans for it? I used to drive around in a static dropped jetta with beer labels and rust so I know the joy/pain.

Took about 2000 pounds to get the desired height.

Next few things on the list:

GR STI quad exhaust
Forester Sports front bumper and grille
2008 Sports tail lights maybe a hatch spoiler
FMIC + Scoopless hood

And I have an axle conversion in the works that will allow me to run way wider wheels and tires.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM DAT FITMENT!

......I miss my jetta sometimes. Such an awesome little shitbox to cruise the city in. And it was a ton of fun buying the car and modding the fuck out of it for a total cost of 2000$

Kinja'd!!!

YES! That looks really good. Plans to paint the box? That logo is not doing it justice.

Surprisingly I’ve taken almost no photos since installing them, fitment is a little whack to be honest, before it poked a little bit but after it airs out I tuck all 4 really hard. I need a little spacer and maybe a tad less camber, at about -2.5 or -3 and honestly I could get away with even less.

It’s just a sticker, I want to respray it or wrap it or something because it’s pretty sun faded. But I’ve been pretty occupied with other things lately, barely finding time to work on the car, I have tons of vinyl wrap for various trim pieces and I haven’t even touched it in weeks. So busy this time of year with work.

Oh I meant more like the future will give good fitment with proper axles and whatnot.

I was thinking about your rig the other day and how far you’ve gotten with it. I know busy. New job and a new baby and I barely get any time to check Oppo or sleep.

Yeah I have a set of 18x10 +18 Works I have to fit sometime, ideally I’d love to not run more than -5 degrees of camber. Eventually I’d also like to run some super fat tires for some meatier fitment.

Jesus! Is that orange photoshopped or just some actual traffic cones in there? Is it plastidip? I'm trying to think if putting that on the silver of the roof rails would be too much or not but photoshop crashes my computer.

So busy it’s crazy, I used to have so much free time and now I work 6 days a week and I’m exhausted by the end of the day.
