Danteneon Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 That is true. Seems like every time I get time to take pictures, I'm at home and the sun is going down behind my car Let me see what I can do this weekend. I need to get some night shots of the HIDs and LEDs I installed that I forgot to mention. And my STI pedals. And my SPT battery hold down. And my STI rad cap. And my Cobb AP cord routing. I'm such a slacker. I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty more pics of that car, so if you are interested in something specific, just let me know.

Danteneon Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 What HID's did you install? And do you like them? I installed the kit Diode Dynamics sells in both the headlamp and fog lamps. I love them I am a firm believer in doing retrofits, but honestly, the output and cutoff using the stock projectors is quite good. I really need to make some time to get good pictures of them.

Danteneon Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share Posted May 30, 2014 My Outback is a flamethrower! http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0400_zps1rl3pmqh.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0398_zpsicodtjcd.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0399_zpsd2pd6pc9.jpg Seems as though the bumper only lightly melts on my >2mile commute. Going to Pittsburgh at a healthy rate of speed is a whole different ballgame. Now I have some pretty expansive exhaust cut-outs. Time to get the JDM bumper methinks I also broke down and replaced my tires. I had chunked up the drivers front pretty bad because I didn't roll the fenders like I should have. Then I picked up a nail and drove on it for just under a mile...just long enough to compromise the sidewall. Here are the new meats... http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0389_zpsqfcgbrep.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0388_zpspb4s8shk.jpg Even stickier than the Kumhos I was running. The drive to PA up the turnpike was a absolute blast! It was the first time I got to really drive it since I installed the 93 tune and cat-back. Power with ease and so smooth and quiet (minus the beautiful exhaust note of course). Now I need to get off my butt and finish the grille! I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas.

Danteneon Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 No fitment issues with 245s on the Legacy GT struts? You should take a video of the exhaust sound I am using SpecB struts which have a slightly higher perch than the LGT units. I have some pics on page 2 that show how close they are, but no rubbing there. That's funny as I run 245/45/18XL tires on my LGT and I love how it fills the wheel wells. Yep! I really wanted to keep the stock tire diameter and this size is it. The 40 series would have been too low for the stock SpecB springs IMO I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas.

Danteneon Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 OK, these should be a bit better. Click them for the uber full size http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0421_zpsf44odhlz.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0422_zpsz8jaaea2.jpg http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t36/danteomni/Car%20Pics/OBK/IMAG0419_zpsfqnm9c7h.jpg I don't know why there are purple splotches in the pictures. The grille surrounds are the factory chrome pieces painted OBP. I cut the grille insert, sanded it, and sprayed it with black Plastidip. I also painted the condenser, bumper reinforcement, and other bits behind the grille flat black so they don't stand out. The next step is to make an extension for the upper grille frame to push the upper center portion of the grille out so it isn't quite so overshadowed by the hood trim. I'm also thinking about adding a small SpecB emblem to the lower right corner. I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho.

Rhitter Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I think once you push it out and add the SpecB emblem it will look really good. Right now it just looks a little empty to me. Have you thought about blacking out your headlights? My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danteneon Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 Funny you should say that. I was talking to my counter guy about painting my headlamps The more I black out on the front of my car, the more all that chrome in my headlamps stands out. So I need to open them up and paint them. After that, I will order the JDM rear bumper. I like to cook my pets and my family. Use commas. Don't be a psycho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureFicus Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Danteneon, thanks for tackling the grill project. I've been curious what it would look like modified. I think it's coming along really nice! I might have to look for a spare grill to go this route as well. I agree with the blacking out headlights, it'll really tie everything together. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't done any mods to the grille yet, but I have an idea once I find the time/materials to try it out. I need to get some pictures up of the lighting upgrades and such.

Rhitter Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Any updates to your grill? Curious what it looks like if you have made the changes. Bumping for the same reason again.

Danteneon Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Wow, been a while! Work has been a lot busier, so I don't have nearly as much free time as I once did. The grille is still just like it was, but that isn't a horrible thing since it is holding up great! That said, I don't think I will have the closure panel made up because I am embarking on a new project. Installing a Legacy hood! For those that may not know, when the Outback was re-designed for 2008, Subaru decided to make a unique hood not found on any other model or country for that matter. That would be fine, except the 2008-2009 Outback hood is made out of steel. The Legacy was still made out of aluminum. I want a lighter hood Preliminary measurements show it should be an easy (hah) matter of using a Legacy hood and grille, and then modify the bumper cover next to the headlamps to match the new hood. Cake! And yes, I will be modifying the Legacy grille as well, but should be even easier because I don't have to worry about the lack of a top frame. Stay tuned! I like to cook my pets and my family.

kaitanium Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 blacked out headlights would look good with this setup for sure. Mine are blacked out. Not sure why suby went with the chrome route after coming out of the black 05-06s. Dont they usually try to make cars meaner looking instead of flabby?
