That's a bummer. Why are you having the doors painted separately? Looks like there's paint peeling on other parts too. Seems like it would be more consistent if you had the whole car resprayed at the same time. Also, I'm very jealous of your outback bumper. Those look fantastic on lowered wagons. I've thought about swapping my GT bumper for one.

A couple recent pics of my GT. She's basically stock but I still enjoy it this way. Only major changes have been a fully upgraded sound system.

Thanks guys it has it's fair share of dings and scratches but shines up pretty nice. Some day I'll get it PDRed and get some paint fixed. About 130k on it.

Sedans look nice, but I'm in the wagon mafia for life. Third car, third wagon.

Obligatory gas station cellphone pic. Still pretty much a stock LGT but I like it.

Dang...well done....That is beautiful. As much as I love my 01 and 09, I'd love to have a pristine 98-99 LGT like that.

Thanks

 

To be honest, there isn't much on this car that I would want to modify from stock and will probably keep it looking this way. Subaru really got it right with these ones - other than the headgaskets haha. She'll get the tint on the driver's window replaced and headers/exhaust done but other than that I think I'm just going to keep up on maintenance.

Looks like they just jacked up pricing on the replica headers in the last couple days. It was $128 a few days ago and now it's up to $198.99. Funny how they slash out the MSRP of $175.99 in red next to the new price lol.

Great thread btw. You're helping me find mods that I never knew I needed but now I must have

i've got a feeling that you arent going to be too happy with the light distribution/pattern when you're done

 

If you do it right, it's identical to the stock bulb.

Thanks for the awesome write-up 'stang. Alldata hardly has any repair manuals for these cars so it's nice to find great guides like this with all the pictures. I should be re-doing mine tomorrow. I'm just going to wire new bulbs into the old twist-in housings and put the green caps over them. I've done that before with lots of success when redoing lights in factory radios. Saves a bit of money over buying from the dealership and if you keep a stash of the baseless 12v bulbs around you can use them to replace a dash bulb in just about any size of neo wedge housing.

 

Snip the wires of the burnt out bulb here (circled in yellow) on both sides

Untwist the wires and remove the bulb and any left over wire.

Remove the green gel filter cap from the top of the bulb. Be very careful because the rip easily.

 

Thread a new 12v generic bulb into the housing and wrap the wires through the grooves using needle nose pliers the same way the old one was threaded in. Cut off any excess wire and put the gel filter cap over the new bulb.

Now you have a new neo-wedge bulb.

 

I can probably post actual pics of the process tomorrow if there's interest.
