Jmhm17 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I just took it off yesterday there were some light clearcoat scratches that got fixed by waxing, I did notice there was a small misscoloration on the nose of the hood i could not buff out but its barley noticable. but the front of the car has no chips from the harsh winter we had so it did its job, its just alot of maintince when its on, im sure if i did nto clean it every 2 weeks i would of ruined the front of the car..

Verwilderd Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 I think if you keep the bra off, that discoloration should go away after awhile. That mostly occurs because the sun will fade the paint that was uncovered. You should be ok. It was good that you recognized that you needed to clean under the bra.

LegacyFuture Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I didn't tell you guys but when I had my exhaust done during the fall, the subaru tech was basically was on top of my car... kept saying how he loves the deep bronze color and never sees them.

pre-dent Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I love this color. And that Jetta is beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmhm17 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 only thing that sucks is this color is hard to match up with something else, hard to get a theme going with DBM. DBM/Black?, DBM/Silver? cant smoke the tails or the headlights or even paint the inside of the housing black.. even clearing the corners kinda looks weird in DBM.. its one of thoughts colors you have a lot of trial and error, before you mate it with something that sticks.. Honestly white is my fav color, cause' white/black look SIIIICK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illa2.5 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 hmm. Not to sure about that color choice. I'd say a little darker that way it looks charcoal(ish) at one angle then the sun can bring the bronze out when it hits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmhm17 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Here are some pics like a promised.. all shined up..

Woodstock Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 someone had a blacked out headlight here somewhere on a DBM. Not on this thread though. I didn't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verwilderd Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 I think it would be cool with bronzed headlights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmhm17 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 hmm.. interesting ^^ I honestly think the gold accents clash with the bronze, but its kinda growing on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verwilderd Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Naw....it helps make the bronze look more brown. The silver really tends to downplay the bronze. Think about it...both bronze and gold have more brown properties mixed in them than say silver. I chose my wheels to have them pop out more, then make the bronze appear more brown. From there, I have bronze-ish color lugs to help tie the gold wheels back in the the bronze. I just want to get rid of all the chrome on my car. I think that clashes the most...imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyS Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Hi, I'm new to these forums. Picked up a 2008 2.5i 5mt back in the fall with low milage. Nice and warm this weekend, so took off the winters and slapped on the summer wheels I had sitting in the garage from my previous ride. Tires are abit tall, but I was just trying for fitment before I ordered the right size ones. I find they rub abit on rear inside fender on the top abit from hard cornering, which i hope the proper size tire should fix. 225/50's on there now on the 17x8 rotas, gonna get some 225/45's for em soon real soon. http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv271/snowman_ej25/Project%20Legacy/SDC11709.jpg http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv271/snowman_ej25/Project%20Legacy/SDC11705.jpg http://i691.photobucket.com/albums/vv271/snowman_ej25/Project%20Legacy/SDC11706.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
