looks really good. Get rid of the injen sticker though... whats the point of debadging it and keeping on a cheap injen sticker?? once u take it off, it will look really clean and sharp IMO. Other than that... looks really good with that drop and those painted rims...

give it a good wax and phone me and ill take some better quality pics of it lol... becuase its HAWT!!!!!!!!!!!

Use whatever solvent you use on your car (i used turtle wax bug and tar) let it sit on for about 5-10 minutes. heat it up with a hair dryer and use fishing line. Then repeat the process on the left on glue only wipe the remover off with a damp rag, then heat, then push it off with the heel of your thumb. clean, wax and live happily ever after. I removed all my badges without a single scratch and about to do the same for my exterior trim.

Here is a how-to by some subaru drivers:

BTW... Leclair.... car looks really sharp... good job bro! I'd say remove those rear headrests and see how much cleaner it looks as well as the better vision in the back.

What tires are they? Looks good. I just debadged mine this weekend I like how it looks now. Much smoother and sleek looking I think. Plus they don't need to know its supercharged.. might scare some away.

Someone on the site used to sell these little covers that stuck over the truck and door key holes, and they could be painted. Wish I remembered who, because I would love to get them for my ride.

X 2 If anyone knows please let us know.

Altiery - Check the How To's I used 1500 sand paper to take the light finish off then used some adhesion promoter from Auto Value and some plastic high gloss paint from Home Depot and a clear coat - according to the how to and my experience I did 1 Med coat and 3 light coats and then 2 light clear coats.

I just used some red spray paint, just went easy on it. Didn't over load it so it would run off or run down.

Haha i get people asking me if it's the LT or the LS, such morons....

They are Falken tires, dont remember the full name, they are wider then the stock tires thats for sure. Definitely sticks to the ground much better then stock...10x

Did it all myself. My Srt4 friend gave me a can of the tint ****, it costs a lot but i can get it again. Like 20$ a can..retarded... but maybe hes rippin me off haha. And for the wheels i just did it myself. I want to see if i can redo them with some red in the wheels. we'll see. I hate the rocks in this city. If u need any help lemme know.
