Old NASIOC heads will recognize this car. Paulie's ride isn't the craziest, but hand's down my favorite car over there. Then maybe Ivan's or g0tb00st's.

Looks like a very nice car, clean and simple for the most part. I especially like the headlights.

awesome car. It's amazing how much attention to detail he put into that car

Awesome car.


On a side note....I think the WRC spoiler looks way better than the stock STi spoiler. It spreads out the profile of the car more with the way it hangs of the trunk.

^^ The prodrive/wrc spoiler looks great, although it's $$$

And Buyeyes are the sheet cause you have choices with it comes to headlights

Seems plain to me. Nothing crazy.

One of my favorite ones I've seen in the area (Minus D's) is the guy that just signed up here with the military green one.

I think that's why I like it. Everything he has done to the car is subtle. And I absolutely love the alcantara dash/steering wheel.

If I had an Alcantara steering wheel in my car, I'd drive with two hands ALL the time just so I could feel it haha.

That thing is so nice. The Speedline wheels make it look awesome, I've never been a fan of those TH2s.

Very clean! I love it. Funny how it seems like every company dicked him over on paint not matching. :bigeek:

Paulie's white wrx is built for a typical Subaru type of person, someone into rally racing, mostly what the car was designed for. I will say, everything on the car is done very clean and perfect, he definately takes good care of it. As far as the exterior, I think it's sometimes bland, but the interior is WILD. I absolutely love what stitchcraft did to his interior, but then again it probably costed him a couple thousand dollars.

My car and the green wrx you are talking about are done for a street/show jdm look that the younger crowd tends to love. It's hard to say what they like more, but each time any of us post threads with new pics they usually end up hitting well over 10 pages in the first couple days. lol

I've had that thread minimized on my computer and refresh it every time I sit back down. Hands down the best use of OCD ever.

Dimitri -- while I love you and John's cars, Paulie's seems to be best described as a more "mature" car. Not to say that your car doesn't appeal to everyone - which it does - but something so subtle yet perfect grabs the attention of everyone of all ages. I love rare JDM parts, but I also love rare, subtle parts that no one ever really notices unless their a trained suby feind. There have been several times where I've showed my dad or my girlfriend your car, or John's car and they think things are too showy or loud [and oftentimes I call them crazy] but rides like Paulies always seem to be fan-favorites to non-car people.

Personally, I don't know where I stand on what style I like more, but something tells me I'd never be able to grow out of a car styled and setup like Paul's, whereas your showiness might wear thin w. me over a while [ie. while I pine over your interior, someday I'd just get sick of it]

I don't know -- me FTL when it comes to having a nice car, but my $.02




And for the record, you're in my Top 10 ;)

what turbo is he running? He seems like he put alot of money, just curious to what power hes using also.
