Carp's Exterior Redesign

[carpenterltd]

Edit: 06/13/18

 

As of 2:45a.m. last night, after re-wrapping my trunk since I hated the c/f wrap I put on it *yes I'm anal and impulsive*, I am pretty much done with the exterior aesthetics. Notes: I decided against going with a face-lift after finally receiving my bumper and having to return it due to improper "gassing" creating a fog appearance in the paint...besides, it is pretty aggressive looking now already.

 

So after I finish glazing my fab'd duckbill spoiler to remove the pinholes and possibly a few other small things, I will be finished and have WAY OVEREXCEEDED my project goals (and budget). Many of these mods I made design, tested, and fab'd up myself...very proud if you can't tell so here's my pat on the back.

 

Quick Exterior Mod List: (b/c why not right? Note: half these things could be on a whole new list of just itself as a project

 

15-17 Roush hood heat extractors (fully functional)

K2Gear scoop (clone) w/matching WRX style canards

DAMD front JDM splitter w/hanging rods (fab'd to fit)

DAMD skirts

Gialla Sportivo front garnish

13-14 Headlights (PP RGB Halos, Demon Eyes, LED's - custom C-Light DRL's)

Eyelids (fab'd)

Eyeshadows (new invention I created = fab'd)

Grillmax MX grill (sold the Gialla clone I fab'd) > red trim'd

Hellahorns (red)

Forester XT signal side mirrors (wrapped in c/f) > need to wire up

WRX front bumper vents > not sure if I want to install these anymore

Gloss black trunk vinyl

Retro-mod taillights (removed tinted tails) > still want to do with rings

Ducktail spoiler > need to finish

Gialla Sportivo rear under spoiler (will add reflectors soon)

Tire lettering kit > not sure if I want to install after text fitting

VRS rear window spoiler

20% window tint

Subaru windshield banner (fab'd)

Shaved rear badges > Brennan rear badge w/TS emblem only

eBay luggage rackin' it up

Goodyear F1 Tires

Avant Garde M590 > 19x8.5

KSport Air Basis suspension (decided to sell; not going to install)

Tein Street Basis coils

...and of course some stickers good for +5hp each.

 

Front end pic 1 is current...

Pic 2 is few months ago...

Pic 3 is a year ago?

Pic 4 is 18 months ago?

 

I have a million pics of the changes, work, etc...but this is a good sampling.

 

You get the idea.

Man that grille looks great, and I can't WAIT to see that spoiler finished. Best part is, everything you're fabbing looks able to be duplicated. You could start your own 5th gen business.

Thanks man! I've been on the facebook group discussing it a bunch and forgot my roots for a while now. Back to catch up.

I always wondered why no one added vents in the hood like the GTk. There are cutouts already in the hood on the underside.

I noticed that...which is what got my mind working.

Ken Hirsch did similar vents on his, a bit larger though.

 

[Scubaboo]

That's pretty wild! If you are going in that direction I think the STI rocker panel extensions like on Ken Hirsch's above, and something for the rear bumper like a Gialla or better yet, TK quads exits, would look great!

 

EDIT: I are dumb. I only saw the front view pics, you already have all of that.

Whaaaaaaaaa

[Falcor]

When did you wrap the trunk lid?

[Humble Rumble]

^He finished the hood vents too.

[Falcor]

That is one Legacy that does not fly under the radar .

[carpenterltd]

When did you wrap the trunk lid?

 

few days ago...just re-wrapped it last night in gloss and put in some OE lights. Guess it may be time to update this thread

[carpenterltd]

BUMP: Updated.
