soldierguy Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Here are a few pics of my new 08 OB that I picked up on Saturday January 12th. I wasn't too thrilled with the two-tone at first, but it's growing on me...I really like the deep bronze metallic color! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laz Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Interesting combination. Congratulations! X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberwagon Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 welcome!!!!!!! Same color combo as the loaner I'm driving:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewLegGT67 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Nice color combo. It's nice to see an Outback/Legacy that has colors that are not as common. I'm probably the only person that has Wu-Tang Clan and Paul McCartney on their mp3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldierguy Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Interesting combination. Congratulations! X LOL! I like the way you put that! I found my OB by looking at dealer inventories online looking for a 2.5i with a manual transmission. Found a dealer with two, both listed as deep bronze metallic (no mention of them being two-tone), so I asked for a price quote and told them when I'd go by to look. When I got there, I was disappointed...my first impression of the two-tone was not good. But it has grown on me, and I like it more every day. I'm glad I ended up with this color combo...not very common, and it looks great to me now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdoggydog Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 4th pic is very "Subie-ish", especially for the mission/intent of the Outback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberlegacy Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Nice, I love that 2-tone colour combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalleeharvey Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yah I like the two-tone also...I reminds me a little of the first gen OB's but classier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldierguy Posted February 1, 2008 Author Share Posted February 1, 2008 Thanks for the positive comments! I need to get some new pics, but the weather has been lousy and cold so I haven't washed it in a week. I had the windows tinted, installed a hitch, had a clear bra installed, and pulled the crossbars off until I need them. The hitch is the Subaru hitch, and the windows were done at 35% on the back doors and cargo area windows. 35% isn't very dark at all, but I wanted some tint that I could see through at night when backing up, and I didn't want tint on the front side windows, also for night visibility. I had a car once with 20% tint all around, and I ended up pulling it off the front side windows because I couldn't see out the sides at night...drove me nuts! This Saturday it goes to a stereo shop for some Boston SL speakers and a JL Audio amp! It'll be great to have better sound quality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I think that color combination is very classy - way better together than they would be separately and gives the car a very upscale, sophisticated look to it. Imagine what it'll look like with a deep, deep wax finish. Enjoy all the compliments I'm sure you're going to get. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homegrwn97 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Im digging the tail lights!!! You guys think they will fit my 05 lgt wagon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Power Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 I have pearl white but if they made that combo in 07 I might have went that way. Both me and the wife love the old two tones but in 07 saw nothing we liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldierguy Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Im digging the tail lights!!! You guys think they will fit my 05 lgt wagon? They should....they're the exact same shape. Subaru changed 2 things for the 08 taillights: the clear lens for the turn signal paired with an amber bulb (the obvious change), and they also added a small running light to the side of the taillight that is visible only from the side. I know the extra running light comes on with the parking lights and headlights (just like the main red taillight), but I'm not sure if it comes on with the brakelights...probably not, but I'm not sure since whenever I step on the brakes I'm inside the car.

soldierguy Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Ok I checked...the extra side light in the taillight is just a marker light that does not come on with the brakes. I snapped a pic...not great quality, but it at least shows where it is at on the taillight. The pic was taken with the parking lights on and no flash on the camera. There's a reflection on the taillight of one of my garage lights...can't do much about that, but again, at least the pic shows where the side marker light is.

homegrwn97 Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hey good deal soldier! Thanks for doing that. The 05's and up wagons have that little side marker light as well....but the JDM tails do not. I want to get some JDM's but I dont want to spend 400 bucks on them. Maybe if I can find some XT tails cheaper I'll throw them on my SWP wagon...but who knows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soldierguy Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Sorry...my mistake. I didn't think the 05-07 tails had the side marker light on them...thought I remembered reading somewhere that they didn't. I've seen the JDM taillights without the side marker lights...maye I got it screwed up in my head and thought the US versions didn't have them either. Oh well...I learn something new every day!
