I'm not sure if it's intentional, but your photos are art! Something about the poor quality refection, and the ambience. I think it's the BSM blending with the surrounding infrastructure too. Either way, I'm saving it for a future project. 
 

How did you go about getting carbon in the DAMD wheel? Where did you send it? Final costs including the wheel? How long did it take?

thank you!! i do have photography background but ironically, i havent taken professional photos on the legacy yet. all these photos u see are all from my camera phone, so i try my best to capture something that i see given my phone limitations. if you see my forester and 4c thread (under the build list), there are some pictures on there that ive used my camera for. the silver color certainly helps blend in any urban surrounding for sure. i tend to edit around that factor.

here is where i got it from. i ordered it in June and it took about 3 months for damd to make it and ship it rhdjapan i suppose. then i had to wait another month due to their shipping delays. there are going to be some import fees from UPS or whatever carrier though assuming youre also in the US.

Are you going to be keeping your steering wheel stereo controls? I ask because I picked up a damd wheel that came without the silver switch blanks that I need. I'd be willing to take the damd blanks off your hands if you're keeping your stock controls!

I have also been wondering where I could find satellite control blanks, for when I do get a DAMD wheel. 

Depending on the year wheel you get you can use the buttons from a stock wheel. I would suggest going to a wrecking yard or buying a stock wheel to get the steering wheel controls maybe Facebook marketplace from a partout.

#LGTSTi is still cheaper and nicer then an equal year wrxsti

Dude, I'm telling you, you've got the industrial look down! The aura reminds me of The Matrix, because for the colors and quality. Thanks for sharing!

Your photo (immediately below), and my version (2nd below).

I edited this photo (edited further, from your already-edited photo) for a direct comparison. I edited this to have a similar green filter that the scenes throughout the movie seem to have. Your original photo above has more red/blue processing. Obviously, there are not any modified Spec Bs in the series. Perhaps the photos below will help you understand why I say what I say.

Yeah, same. It doesn't make sense to me that you don't just carry it around with you daily. It's worth it, even for a 2min parking garage pic at the end of your errand/work day. No reason to wait. Send it!

pure laziness lol and im not motivated enough because i dont think my legacy is at its final form yet. however i do want to photograph it with my forester together because theyre very similar right now in terms of looks.

Got some goodies from boxer/beauty. Older subarus like the gc8 sti/22b have the sti tire pressure sticker on the door jam so i wanted to replicate that cuz why not? I did the same when i had my '09 civic si and used the jdm fd2 type r tire pressure sticker as well lol and 2nd gen legacies, i think, have the caution sticker on the passenger door card but im not gonna put it there. Ive always liked the sti sticker around the sti titanium shift knob in the 06-07 sti, example pictured below, (so many sti in one sentence) so i wanted to replicate that as well. Surprisingly, the whole sticker wraps around subieflow cf shift knob completely. I chose the black and silver to match the silver console and the t/b sti door sills as well as the color of the car. The other sets of stickers will go on the forester.
