^+1 just be very, VERY careful with what you paint red. There's an SRT-4 in town that did a similar white and red theme that came out VERY tasteful and subtle. Then there are the Honda clowns that thought red and white was a good idea too. There's? not so tasteful. Point and case is, it can go either way.

you toss the headlights in the oven for about 15 minutes and they pop right off, got the idea from a wrx forum. i'll look for the site for you, there's a diy

i painted it with the duplicolor spray paint.

i should be done with the exterior before the end of the month. i still need to :

1. mold drivers side sideskirt
2. remove ding in the hood
3. redo the rims with another coat or two of white
4. get the eyelids/ cuda spoiler and mold it to hatch
5. pay the painter lol


after the exterior is done, i'm going to finish the interior (some of those diamond plate floormats i think, some bride seats, paint interior to match outside) then work on the engine, buying all supporting mods then a 2.0 and doing the swap. i want to keep with the 1.8 tranny since i've been told it's got closer gear ratios correct? so it'd be quicker with it, but not have the same top end correct?
