I think I found the wheels I'll be buying this summer

I believe CreoSTi is selling his perfect set with tires.

It turns out that the bezel originally had some kind of varnish applied to it...and if you attempt to put primer over, the primer will dry out with creases and wrinkles.

Its more of a rubbery coating. My installer removed the vents from the bezel, sanded the rubber coating off, and then sprayed primer, texture and dye with no issues. This was of course after trying to apply primer to the stock bezel surface and getting the same ill-effects as you.

This is still relatively a new model but the rubber bits are now beginning to age.

I don't think it has anything to do with age, rather an insufficient bushing durometer vs. increased power levels that seems to be exacerbated by cold temperatures.

Has anyone used that texture base in a can? That would hide alot and probably be a good idea for me.

 

I'm pretty sure sebbery used a color out of a can that he said matched well.

Worse case scenario, sand it off if you don't like it. But you're exactly right, the texture hides alot and gets rid of some goofy shadows that imperfect contours can cause. It also helps the bezel match the rest of the OEM trim. Those pieces are covered in that goofy rubberized stuff and it looks different than a well sanded glass/bondo job. The texture really helped my bezel look more OEM rather than really good.

Lol I was about to ask: what paint to use ?

 

I think FWEASEL once mentioned in qa thread about some graphite something color.

My installer used a texture base and then dyed the bezel with a color who's name means nothing really. It was mixed to match the OEM trim.

Classic :lol:

 

Glad no one pays attention to that law

including most CPD that I see on the cellie while driving...

Passed by a SWP LGT today on my way out to lunch. I was also in my SWP LGT! You were sitting at the stoplight on the Pfingston and Lake Cook in Northbrook. Looked like a younger driver, and I know you definitely noticed me. I tried to wave, but it was a little late, but I checked out the car. Nice ride!

STFU

^ ?

Was STFU not in your dictonary of online terms?

red lgt, with personalized plates on peterson and cicero, at the edens plaza building.

Did the plates say yellow wrx or something to that effect? I see that guy every month or so.

It may be Weasel. He said he's going out east for Christmas, New Year.

 

Hold that thought...maybe he did put his new wheels on - but he had stockers when I saw him Tuesday, smoked tails...I do not thinks so. Not one of ours me thinks.

Out east? I'm going to Schaumburg for Xmas and Missouri for New years.

RGP GT Sedan 05-06 model with tints and Illinois plates "YLW WRX 1" headed SB Barrington Road in the Hoffman/Schaumburg/Streamwood area. Was alongside you with my Subie for a few blocks.

He lives downtown near the best buy on CLybourne. I see the car parked in that neighborhood all the time.

Guessing from the Mini Disc player, I'd bet it's JDM. I don't know any other country that loves their mini-discs as much as Japan.

tru dat

There needs to be more 'cool' subie owners around me. I might see two in a week and no one waves back, but they usually look WAY too 'proper' to acknowledge a car like mine……

They'd probably get a long with the old lady dring the SpecB here in Chicago:lol:

I've known the local teenage heart-throb (aka fweasel) for a while.......

So that's where all the recent sh!t people have been giving me came from.

Ooooh, another thread to whore my wheels in...

Prodrive GC-05 18x8 +46 in british black with 235/40/18 tires.

I put my xm ant. under the plastic trim of the hood scoop.

FYI-I get great recption with the ant. mounted here, unless I'm driving east, away from the sats. Then its a little choppy, but a I'd rather have a little less reception than an ant. mounted in plain view anywhere on my car.

Interesting idea. I put my GPS antenna underneath the 3rd brake light cover, no real issues with reception there.

diversity/clark/broakway

Diversity? Does that run through boys town?

The de-badged Spec-B is me.

Debadged, see, I knew you couldn't stay stock. I knew you'd crack:lol:
