Today I started to paint the trim/doorcards black, but I only got the rears done. I am hoping to have the interior completed by next week, I'll post pics of the progress. I'm also picking up Neil's RS front+rear black checkerboard seats at some point, which will help bring together the black/gold interior "look" better as well. I'm holding off mounting the 2 pot calipers, and on painting the wheels until spring, when the weather is nice and I find some 16" used summer tires (please get ahold of me if you have some you are willing to sell/trade). I'm going to try to "borrow" my girl's rally armor flaps for this car, since I know damn well she'll never see dirt!

Pics from today:

Thanks to Gabe/Mike with the selling/welding of the dual tip exhaust. It's not loud, but I can hear it, I really like the way it looks too! I do however, need some urethane exhaust hangers, it's rattling against something.

Future plans: Black RS seats, full black/tan interior conversion, urethane exhaust hangers, front+rear WRX swaybars, STi black carpet mats, fog lights, Rally Armor BU flaps, different non-shitty stereo, drivers side fender, etc...I don't plan to heavily modify the engine or suspension, I'm going to try and keep it mostly stock.

Looks good homes, to change the title of your thread, go to the first post and go to full editor.

Update:
Today I drove to the land of the over populated and overpriced Scarborough, to a small cul de sac neighborhood where a young mischievous brat Neil Suchechi used to spend his summers, usually playing street hockey, and running around with boogers in his nose. Long before he ever saw his first "rally car", witnessed the southern Maine drift crew annihilate Lowe's during snow storms, or dreamed of owning a swapped GC8, and doing awd (smoking) clutch drops.

Pulling into his driveway, I didn't know what to expect:

Just kidding! I was already familiar with his three cars, and only one that drives:

Neil came out scheming to steal my 2.2:

But, he quickly got sidetracked with projects of his own...kids with ADD these days *sigh*:

At some point during the past two weeks, Neil's car was acting up, so he punched a cute sized dent in the quarter panel of his only operational vehicle...*sigh* ahh to be young, I can still remember those days fondly:

This pristine RS became the focus. We started going in on this hoe like a dynamic duo of honey badgers attacking a bitchmade king cobra:

As you can see, the P.O. left us an immense amount of human waste, to which we were delighted to find:

I decided that instead of choking on my own vomit from the stench, that I would go into the garage, listen to some Morrissy, and try my hand at some artsy camera phone photography. This sexy shell with no rust that you see before you, was sourced from none other than the legendary GARFACE of RS two five fame:

Midway through my avante garde imagery, Neil came in to remind me of why I came over. I came out to help, just in time to hold one of the doors up, while Neil had the privilege of swinging a hammer at the cotter pin; what a good friend:

Now, I'm not going to name name's here, but a certain hater on these forums assured me that there were no size 13mm bolts on Subaru's. These size 13mm bolts did not appear to be from the after market. They appeared to be from the before market. The images that follow were not altered in any way, shape, or form:

With Easter around the corner, we were both excited to find the egg that the P.O. left in the car for us. It is safe to say we won the Easter egg hunt...

We stripped every usable piece we could out of one of SOOCH'es car's. We decided to do it big money Scarborough style, and do lunch at Amato's. After that, we decided my L's dated interior needed an MTV makeover:

It's not completed yet, but my vision of a black/gold interior is coming along well.

Directly beside the rear speakers, over the trunk. Underneath those black plastic pieces, there are two size 13mm bolts.

Type-RA
hahahahahahahhahahahahaha

PS that photo of the human waste is AFTER an entired trash bag was filled with shit...... It was mainely hard ice teas and pbr cans. Im assuming that many a road sodas were consumed on this cars daily endeavors. Maybe that's why the accident happened??

PSS also have the lady's license that previously owned the car, lived in freeport, may or may not have lived in the car at one point.
