sweet shots. i want that rear bumper add-on.

morning eye's failed me yet again.

1041 5th gen LGT's, correct? So the 1000 Launch Edition '15 STI's really aren't that rare then?

its the factory rack. interested in buying them? =p

...if they aren't aftermarket, then don't post them in the AFTERMARKET thread....

ya...get a BBK and never track it.....

rubysue...nice pic...but your car isn't GGM...

I can haz snowz? http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/d819264d-a8ee-466e-8ce3-8d0542b58aeb_zpsef69d82f.jpg

The before picture is 6 months ago (I didn't take a profile picture before I started working. I got a little excited.) The front is at the max height within their defined limits (160mm), the rear is at -5mm from max height(125mm). I wish I could go up another 5mm on the front. =| Before: http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/For%20Sale%20LGT/20130507_185841_zpsa8d84ec9.jpg After: http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/whiteline%20paint/9f95bd64-e0b0-4a63-95c4-30b7c816c30d_zps2085c311.jpg

Installed some kw v3 coilovers a couple of weeks ago. (no good pix yet), and this weekend i added these (mind the mess). http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/whiteline%20paint/rollcentercorrection_zpsed889890.jpg

Looks pretty darn good. Well done. Those DRLs don't looke like LEDs. Do you use some sort of diffuser? Do you have a DIY or pictures of the build process? =p also noob question: what does SAP stand for?

gimmie gimmie gimmie. where to get? diy? very interested!

DeltaSniper, if you ever want to sell your wheels, let me know. I love them. =D

previous LGT owner doesn't know what the color is of his new one? lol

Its an empty rack only because I have the bike rack for it resting in the garage. lol http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/rack1_zpsa9030fa9.jpg

I'll have to take closeup pictures of the rack, but its just oem. Looks like what you see in the brochure. front shot: http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/Lip_HL_up_zpsb233e6ce.jpg

Adds: jdm spoiler, front lip, headlight mods, roof rack. http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/jdm_spoiler_up_zpsfd7a22c2.jpg

ya...you might have missed "reasonably" priced. Those Enkei RS05's and O.Z. Superturismo's aren't cheap.

I was quoted $250-$300 to paint my jdm spoiler....that's more than the spoiler itself. -.-

start at the corners, imo.

I started at the middle and tried going back, thinking that I would be able to easily pull the ends together. The lip didn't seem to have the right form...as if it was made wider than the fender. The pictures were with the middle held in place with painter's tape while the ends rested there. If I tried to bend the ends to their place, the middle moved away from where I expected it to line up. http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/20130203_003720_zps9b5fe758.jpg http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/20130203_003743_zps9741eb47.jpg (ignore the toes, my photography skills are lacking) So I started at the ends, and I did my best to pull the lip as far forward as possible so that the middle part would line up. It came within 1/2 inch of lining up... http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/20130203_011108_zps0c8240c4.jpg http://i964.photobucket.com/albums/ae125/kaijubei/2012%20LGT/20130203_025827_zpsefc9eae8.jpg It's kinda meh...but holes are drilled, its installed, and it was fairly cheap. I also added a "skirt" to it. No pictures of that yet, though. I'll get a picture posted after my bumper cover is reinstalled later this week or next. Maybe I'll like it more when its installed.

So...um....the front lip I got (the smaller one) doesn't fit even though others of you have managed to put it on. What gives? ; ;

First off, thanks for the good info, Scooby-GT. Even if I don't consider a wrx strut swap, the spring rates for the LGT springs were useful. ^.^ In my experience, and I'm sure others can speak to the other side of this, most shops can't do the job right. They mostly get it right...sometimes. Too much complacency these days. Strut swap can be easy, but it can quickly become a hassle. I like working on my car, so the time it takes to do a strut swap isn't a problem. The problem comes when I don't have the tools to remove a bolt tightened by a demi-god. $635 on labor is better spent elsewhere, imho.

sexy

Did you say what color stoptech's your getting or is that secret? =p Anyways, I'm looking forward to the results.
