Shipman's 06 STi/08 Legacy/03 Forester

[Shipman]

Thanks guys, i was thinking about plastidipping them another color for fun but I think Ill leave them as is right now, and yeah I ordered the license plate delete like 30 minutes after I brought the car home, I cant wait to swap out the tails, take off the tint and then drop it on some coils. I just ordered some Rally Armor flaps last night at like 4am

Some sloppy cell shots of the process...from this

pokemon cards lol ???

they do look alot better black for sure

[Shipman]

Na, theyre like some superhero cards and some NBA players cards I think, I was looking for playing cards but these were the first things I found when I started digging through my hallway closet, fun things you find when you forget what you had

[Shipman]

So yesterday I had my tint removed, and today got my rall armors in the mail along with my 05 tail lights, a friend just bought coils for his 05 STi so Im trying to buy his lowering springs off him, Im waiting for a nice day to put on the tails and Ill put on the flaps when I lower it

nice pick-up with the 04/05 tail lights!

Do the "JDM" tail light mod while you have them off. There's a write up on NASIOC you can look at HERE

[Shipman]

Yeah Ive seen that, I dont know if Im a big fan, Ill see what it looks like normally then I may take a crack at it, thanks for the link though

[rocknrace03]

this is my dream combo, love these generations, but I'm glad you picked up the 04-05 tails, i can't stand the factory lights, straight out of fast and furious haha

[Ej6Mike]

Nice STi, what a great start your off to!

[Shipman]

Thanks guys, and Im about to go out and do my tail lights right now, Ill get pics up when Im done

nice hawkeye and what a great improvement to the wheels. The tails looks great also,i still have my stock tails since i don't think they look as bad on SGM

my first mod was BC BR coils and a front lip. which is a MUST for hawkeyes.

hey hate to be a pain, but could you measure who wide ur front lip is...i like the look of it and was looking into options of putting onto my car due to the limited available products now

You want me to go end to end or just the width of the front of the car? Have you thought about a home depot garage door sealer lip?

[Shipman]

Eightplustwo: thanks buddy

[lownslow95]

The wheels look 10x better since you plasti-dipped them black. Also like the 04-05 tails on this. Keep up the good work (coming from a mitsu owner lol)

[Shipman]

Ha, thanks, I think Im gonna redo them again, give them a better coat, Im getting a little peeling and bubbling but I only did like a coat and a half cause I was rushing, Im gonna take time this tuesday or wednesday and redo them but Im thinking maybe a different color, I dont know which though, Im considering white

Keep them black, it looks great on AW. Love the way the 04/05 tails look. Great job so far, man. Can't wait to see it in person this Wednesday.
