Kalien32 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 I don't plan on leaving the spoiler all blue. I've been messing with a few ideas on how I'd like to paint it.. I laid out two options the other day.. but I'm not sure I really care for either one.. Next thing I'm going to try is doing the entire thing white, but leaving the bottom exposed, so you only really see the carbon when you lift the rear gate.. I'm open to suggestions, and I'll try them out with wrap, before committing to paint.

Kalien32 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 Are you still planning the partially exposed/fade paint job on the carbon spoiler? Yes.. I don't think I can handle that much blue... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX USA Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Something like the reverse of Option #2 with sides like this might look good. The issue I see is looking from the side is that transition along that long body line from paint to carbon, right at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madrig Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 i like the idea of the bottom blue only . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalien32 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 I agree... the side view is the problem area... I like the idea of having the center exposed. I really enjoy the center seam, and it would be a shame to cover it up.. Maybe do like your suggestion, and also have underneath carbon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalien32 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 i like the idea of the bottom blue only . Yeah.. right now I'm thinking that would be the cleanest look.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkinslow Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I like option 1 and the idea of bottom only. Bottom only continues the subtle understated theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalien32 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 I think I'll mock up bottom only, and blue center today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX USA Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Option #3 looks good and the exposed top section somewhat mimics the look of the sunroof, in regards to a dark section on the roof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madrig Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Option #3 with the bottom done as well. yes ! later you can still repaint and keep the bottom only if you feel is too much blue . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalien32 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 build thread was great until it turned into rice man. Lol. What exactly makes it rice? The one large carbon part, that I'm trying to figure out how to cover in a tasteful way? Pretty much everything else is OEM... Genuinely interested in your opinion..

madrig Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Im still leaning towards painting the entire top... is the best option ! in the end i love the seam on the top but is too much blue that unbalance the car . keep the blue under is a nice touch !

Kalien32 Posted July 23, 2018 Author Share Posted July 23, 2018 Had a tire blow out on my car. And I figured I'd do some maintenance while I have the car on jacks.. 1st thing on my list is to clean up the exhaust. GooGone was a life saver... had a bunch of tar stuck to the exhaust. Sprayed GooGone on it, let it sit for a couple hours, came back and they wiped right off.. http://i.imgur.com/i48wUpB.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Pb7Zk9z.jpg http://i.imgur.com/JkoYYFl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4MpgQJO.jpg http://i.imgur.com/uHf29fq.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
