Impreza Sport project "murdered out"
Hi all, not had an Impreza for a while and was looking the other week and found a 97 sport so decided to have a play around with it.
Heres how she stands atm only things i've done is fitted the splitter, Fitted 8000k HID lights, used a piece of etched effect vinyl to make the rear lights look like sti lights and fitted a cd player. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P4280330.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P4280317.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P4280319.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P4280320.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P4280321.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P4280322.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P4280329.jpg Things i've got ordered are Orange LED side light bulbs (US Style) Unequal length headers Facelift grill V6 sti bonnet with 22b side vents and large scoop Getting a full system all the way thru and may change the silent hi power for a nice Jap can i have sat here High level spoiler Im getting her in the bodyshop in the next couple of weeks and im going to spray the whole car satin black along with the wheels having a refurb and also having them done satin black. If anybody has seen another murdered out impreza please post it up so i can get some ideas, thanks for looking |
What does "murdered out" mean??
|
|
Done properly, it could look good on a classic!
I'd suggest tinting the rear lights red as opposed to that daft STi look-a-like vinyl and doing the alloys gloss black (imho of course ;)) |
there is a murdrered-out golf estate on south-west dubs, looks great :)
|
Your plans sound good, the terminology sounds like yank wank :p
'murdered out' lol shizzle my nozzle :lol1: |

|
Very nice fella, im going satin black all over, i will update a couple pictures later im just smoothing the splitter into the bumper atm
|
Abit of an update on some bits i got done today
When i picked my bonnet up the other day the bloke offered me a c-west front bumper and some side skirts for next to nothing so had to have them, quickly fitted the sideskirts as you can see in the pics and started refurbing the wheels. dropped my scooby off a curb i have going thru the middle of my carpark (as you do) just so i could see what it would look like. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/248.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...ooby/247-1.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...ooby/246-1.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...ooby/245-1.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/250.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/249.jpg after inspecting the scoob abit more i found it has had a tiny prang, so decided to take all the front off and see what im looking at http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/254.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/251.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/263.jpg Damage was very minimal so just played about with it abit and all sorted now. Wheel that i did today http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/255.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/256.jpg I really like the way this turned out, i decided to break the car colours up abit so im doing all the wheels satin black and then a clear coat on that C-West bumper put up to my car, i think it will look awesome with some mesh and the lights fitted http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/267.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/266.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...scooby/265.jpg More progress tomorrow |

if i was to fit it i wouldn't just bolt it on, i had a C-West bumper on my first scoob, with a little work they look quite smart, this is how mine turned out after i retrofitted fog light brackets and lights
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...by/scooby2.jpg Does anybody know what make my side skirts are?? |
At the end of the day mate its your car and you can do what ever you want to it. I have that bumper on mine and it looks great. Obviously youl get lovers and haters just do you own thing though.
Here mine fitted with all the lights in place... https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...-new-here.html |
quite liking that :)
|
Not a big fan of it De-spoilered, Doesnt look as mean
|
cheers for the comments guys, just going for the smooth and sleek look
|
Got the roof, the rear quarter and the passenger side rear door done today, all went well apart from i had finished the door, just going to bolt it back on, picked it up and it slipped out of my hands, smashed the window and put a great dint in it, just got a window but got to live with the dint until monday but im slowly getting there.
piccy of now http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...o/P6010469.jpg Does anybody know what make my side skirts are?? |
Bit more of an update today,
Ive got the drivers side rear quarter finished, i also decided to do a couple engine dress up bits, after peering thru the side vent in the bonnet i thought it was time i did something. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030470.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030471.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030473.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030478.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030479.jpg Wrapped my petrol flap in carbon http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030472.jpg Here i used a degreaser then roughed it up with a scotch pad. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030480.jpg Used a white base so the green really shines http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030481.jpg This is rover tara green http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030483.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030484.jpg And a shot thru the vent, first of many to come http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030486.jpg Ive not been into doing engine dress up before but im going to have a go. Here are a couple shots of how she is now http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030475.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030476.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030477.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6030488.jpg Thanks for looking |
Looks good to me mate keep up the good work
|
love the no spoiler look one of the drag cars on here has a little Audi TT style spoiler on the back that would finnish this of a treat. Ive been looking at matt finishes on my wheels o want a bronzy/browny colour for my race car. how does it cope with muck and grime?
|
Looking good :thumb:
I'm a fan of the 'smooth' look (have a nosey at my project thread in my sig ;)) Glad to see you kept the oem bumper! I think the rear lights would look awesome if they were all red :thumb: |
i nearly switched of when i saw the c west bumper, but seems like you are moving in the right direction again :)
|
update:
Got the passenger side door and wing painted, also took the front bumper off again rubbed it down and repainted it. Shes looking alot better and almost ready Heres a couple of pics i took today http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060506.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060507.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060514.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060518.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060520.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060522.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060524.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060528.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060531.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060532.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y11...y/P6060533.jpg Most of you may be thinking "What the hell has he got a CD in the grill for??" well i saw it on a max power show car about 10 years ago, it will look better when i cover the centre with a carbon ring, it reflects loads of luminous colours and looks better than a horn. Anybody will know the amount of time and skill it takes to work on a project like this, please note i have not used any air equipment such as sanders or guns, this is all done by hand, with good old sandpaper and wet and dry. im using aerosol satin black to paint the car aswel. I know myself from working in a repair shop for a year the effort in getting panels prepped for paint even with the most up to date equipment. cheers for looking |
good work mate, like your hard work, one thing though, watch out for the dibble, they will be clocking your HID's........
|
Cheers fella, there not to bad around here to be honest, im out in the sticks 12 miles from any police station its the boy racer type lads they go after, ive done the speed thing, im into the cruize thing, lol.
|
Nicely done mate, not my cup of tea but a lot of hard works obviously gone into her!
in my opinion an original main bonnet vent and a set of wide 'concave' gunmetal rotas would set it off a treat.. just personal preference though.. |
