Thanks for the replies guys! :D and yes denot, it looks better without transformers lol
was going to remove the rear mugen power as well (maybe just leave the kanji) during my next wash, but the contractor got overenthusiastic and washed my car for me and buffed it all up. its sooo smooth right now

the subaru is for my uncle (its his retirement car! lol) he is trading "down" his peugot (he intended that as the "one classy european car i drive before i die", since he didnt want to buy an overpriced fuel guzzling, high maintenance bmw) for a "fuel efficient, safe handling grocery hatch"
but we found out that the subaru sedan costs the same as the hatch (after haggling for 3 hours to get the "last special edition R hatch in australia" and ending up with special edition 2 with sunroof but 3 month wait.
When the guy gaves us a sedan to test drive...my car nut brain ticked into action and thought...hey that body kit looks awesome, if my uncle got the sedan i could buy it off him 5 years down the track and rice it up, so i asked the dealer and he was like "oh why didnt u say so earlier, i have plenty of sedans in stock at the same price" LOL
anyway the subaru is freakin awesome, i have never experienced handling like that before in my life. Defo buying the car off my uncle.

when i test fitted. it actually didnt (i have test fit pics on imageshack account) but that cud be because i didnt have teins yet.
but when i stick my hand under the front. i can feel that it hangs a bit lower than stock...so SOOOO scared of scraping.
actually for some reason, the front right of the car (when looking at it) has a crease on the bottom underside (u cant see it in pics cause its dark down there) it looks warped. but doesnt look bad cause just makes the car look lower lol
but to answer your question. i had trouble clearing my driveway with stock body + teins. but now i cannot clear my driveway at all with lip Lol

btw yungquan, where did u get your rims, how much did they cost and whats the model/specs?
thnx

As for the rims, how much you willing on spending is the question ;) (on just the rims itself, no rubber) haha

On other news...I should be getting my new bumper this week...will keep ya all posted :D

lool dont tempt me man! when i was taking the pics i was like, if i had a mugen wing right now... *drool*
as for grill i wanna get it as badly as the wing, but ive been itching to do that custom grill. im just scared of taking apart the front myself and i might as well paint calipers too. was planning easter break but gf wants roadtrip zzzz -_-

and yes its the china one i bought. i had issues with fitament but i stuck with it anyway (trimmed the top edge and it fit fine) i like it better than Paul's because paul's is missing an upflap at one end.

the thing with the skirts is that. i dunno how to jack the car up now lol

maybe turn ur wheels a lil more?>

EDIT: omg pics wont show up,,

funny theyre my favs too lol. its my wallpaper now
i took a better one on the first day (but my mum was in the pic inspecting my car lol) but the lighting was awesome so made the sideskirts show up really well and made it look so low and wide. so i took those 3 to see if i cud get the same effect
ended up being different but very good neverthe less

so gunna bring out the SLR this weekend! :D

Anyway. in regards to rims. Looking for 19-20s but as ive never bought wheels before in my life. i dont know what a realistic price range is. Im very happy to buy second hand, but dont know what good brands are for hondas
budget is 1-1.4k thats stretching it (coming out of mugen wing budget lol)
1.4k easily if i can resell my OEM rims

Mugen wing if i can sell OEM modulo wing.

I've driven the new STis an they are a beast of a car, haven't seen or driven the Special Edition R though...don't know which one I like better though, EVO 10 or STi...I think STi handles a little better where the EVO 10s are a bit quicker...but not sure hey...Oh and can't forget the Golf R...that little thing is an absolute beast! Took one for a test drive when I went to get my car serviced hehe...

Anyways...the custom grill is quite nice but looks way too time consuming my for schedule at the moment. I might just get mine sprayed black and possibly stick a red Honda badge on it (I've seen someone do this and it looks epic good on white).

Yeah that's what I noticed too with the side skirt, the 2nd upflap part is a more accurate representation of the real Mugen skirt, was pretty disappointed Paul's one didn't have it on both ends =(.

I'm waiting for stock of the ROTA DPTs at the moment, about 1.5mths to go. About 1.1k for a brand new set plus tyres (prob another 1k on top). The size I'm looking at is 18x8.5, +44 5x114.3.

They're Volks CE28N Replicas.

p.s. still haven't got my damn rear bar yet! It's been over a week...sigh...

else it'll look like an X5 with 20".

Hi guys! Since tony (kwangstuh) brought up the topic of wheels. Jusf wondering if you guys can tell me if these wheels will fit my car. And what size tyres i need to buy to fit them.

Heres the link of the wheels that i want:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au:80/ws/eBayISA...toredirect=off

They supply these at a local wheels shop called 'the tyre factory' down here in melb but ive been told i can save alot of money by buying these online cos of the strong aussie dollar.

Thanks guys!
Simon.

EDIT:

Here are the wheel specs for those who are too lazy to open the link:
They are 18x8 with an offset of +48.

hey, good choice Simon, I once was looking at the same Enkei wheels too. I think the +48 offset and 8w width will be fine, but we need a bolt pattern of 5x114.3 (or 5x114). the one listed is 5x100
