Lots of pics, so buckle up.

Havent posted up any details in a while, but this one is worth posting up. Unfortunately didnt get to many beauty shots after, just some in the drive way, but this bitch looks so good now. By far my favorite subi front end now. Owner had me remove the STi decals on the fog light covers in addition to obviously correcting the paint. This is probably the coolest black paint ive seen on a factory car, the flake is UNREAL for factory paint. Anyways, enjoy-

There is no photshopping to help with saturation or contrast. These are all raw images, that is how great the paint looks.

if you are referring to the rocker panels, there was only so much i could do. if there are more, they dont show in the sun, and were probably just really deep.
