Pretty much a straight forward direct fit..

Just make sure you get everything needed to complete the job, unlike me, who has spent a bit more than I anticipated getting missing pieces..

I can't see

Door cards are 2005 flocked items, out of Craigs car, (as are most of the interior parts for now )

Going picking some seats on Monday..

Needed a bit of motivation, so got it on its wheels to see how we are looking..









Not sitting too bad, and once the engine is in, it should have that slight nose down stance I am looking for..

If i have any critisism... it would be the wheels are a bit "Bling" for such a hardcore looking body.

Overall mate it looks kin' awesome though.

LOL...

The wheels are Team Dynamics Pro race 1.2, with the lip polished..

I simply could not make my mind up on the Compomotives.
Ideally i would have a set of MO's in anthracite, bronze and white.


No rear spoiler planned on this boot lid, although I have a spare boot lid..

I think the TD PR1.2s are an awesome rim... but all black would look hard as nails

Big props on leaving her wingless too buddy... such a phat look thats hard to accept here in the UK.

Personally... I love it

I looked into them Revolution wheels early early on, but they are too skinny, and not available to suit my width..

I also contacted them about making a set, but got no interest, so their loss..

Stunning thread mate!

Personnal favourites are the under body shots of the white/blue sections... absolutely stunning!!

Don't know how some of the guys in here find the time to do any of the stuff they do... I barely have time to drop the car to Mocom, let alone build anything!

Best of luck for the remaining jobs!

As I said, they are too skinny, and they are the wrong offset..

The TD's are 9", with a non Subaru offset...
