crazymonk8-8 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's your car. I'd paint match the flares. Those flares are sick though. What brand/model are they? I know you said 240sx flares on your first post, but any particular brand? They are the 4 inch wide ZG fender flares in fiberglass. The other reason I am holding off on painting them is I might wrap them in carbon fiber. Which I would prefer over body color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooKz Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Carbon fiber would look nice, but I'd still rather body match it. That's my own opinion though. You're entitled to your own as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slim101 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 i kinda like the flat black look. makes it look more raw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 There's a 370z that runs autox near me, who has carbon fiber flares. Just clear-coated. The look is a bit stark, but I like it. Then again, maybe its the huge tires he has stuffed under them. This build makes me wish I had gone ahead with flares on my car. Looking forward to seeign the completed car.

MooKz Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Which airlift kit did you go with? The 08 WRX one? I don't see an option available to Legacy owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazymonk8-8 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Yah I went with the 08 wrx airlift one. It requires minor slotting of the strut towers. But I am going to try and talk Airlift into making the legacy ones so that I can get more people into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooKz Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Word! I am pricing bag kits. I may go with the manual though. Just to save 600-700. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWSPECB Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Woah. I'm usually not a fan of super low or bagged anything but this is pretty damn awesome. Glad you're local-ish too because I might get a chance to see this thing in person some day at a meet or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazymonk8-8 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hint: I'm not really in Tahiti Haha I figured as much. Well I recieved my rear struts last night. So those will be going in tonight. These are the last parts I was waiting for to get my car on the ground. Plans for tonight: Install struts Check system for leaks Upload new map from accessport Check for fuel leaks or vacuum leaks Hopefully test drive car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooKz Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Were you just buying the kit piece by piece or do you have to buy a different set of rears instead of what comes I'm the kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoXlgtDan Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 im liking this build! good job on the flares, the wide track width really makes it look mean as hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazymonk8-8 Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Were you just buying the kit piece by piece or do you have to buy a different set of rears instead of what comes I'm the kit? So I bought the wrx front and a universal kit for the rear. The universal kit would not work for the rears. So I bought the wrx rears as well. The top hats are wider for the rear so you have to drill and slot the strut tower. The bottom of the strut also has to be drilled out to fit the bigger bolt for the legacy. If you are interested in the setup I can take detailed pics and explain everything that needs to be done. I will also try and hook you up with some better pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MooKz Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 That would be wonderful! I am most likely going to go the route you went. I am perfectly comfortable with the drilling. If you can get detailed pictures and everything, that would be phenomenal. Maybe even start your own "DIY WRX AirBag" thread to keep this build thread smoothly.
