I like that. If u actually do it let us know what all was done, might have it done to the wifes lift back

puetato89 · 06-23-2011, 11:41 PM

ooOOOooo that be nice lil gift there partner ;)

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-24-2011, 12:26 AM

A lot of people mod and use a lip from the Impreza. Just a thought. hahaha

wildmongoose26 · 06-24-2011, 01:09 AM

why is that LOL? that could be an option.

I think once one person does it and figures its not that hard or how hard it is. it will be more common for us to do it.

puetato89 · 06-24-2011, 01:11 AM

that is true, he has your there laz ;)

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-24-2011, 02:02 AM

I was being serious. hahahaha. Those Impreza lips really looks good on most cars.

As someone pointed out before, I need to stop laughing on my posts. hahahaha

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-24-2011, 02:02 AM

Dang it! Need to stop that!

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-24-2011, 02:04 AM

I believe it's this lip that people are using:

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-24-2011, 02:11 AM

I found this kit a while back (it's for the pre '08's tho), and if you're going for a VIP theme, I think it would fit the style

puetato89 · 06-24-2011, 02:47 AM

+1 def a great bumper!

Prime example last Sunday. Pur Blu's car has a stance like the OP's car.
He drove through the mountain with 4 of us following him. Drove back the same mountain on the freeway with a bunch of potholes and dips.

Its drive able...its not an opinion, its a fact. If you cant see that....well then, I dont know what to tell you. You might be better fitted into the category of people who buy expensive cars but dont know a thing about the damn car.

Sorry to put you down like that, but ignorance doesn't work well, especially on car forums where people are showing you prime examples. Whether its safe to drive as a daily driver....that varies from one person to another so i respect your opinion there.

To the OP:

I like the stance on your car, if you look at a members car - Pur Blu (check out the NCVC thread meets in California section),,, you can go even more wider and more camber all around. Overall nice work.
I'm just not digging the rear bumper trim below the reflectors, but hey it is what it is.

Kaotic Lazagna · 06-28-2011, 04:24 AM

Here's Pur Blu's car:

Here it is being driven:

Kioshi · 06-28-2011, 04:29 AM

And we werent exactly going...following posted speed limits through that short windy road.

I think they are 8.5 or 9s..Pur Blu can chime in on it more~

Thanks Kaotic.

wildmongoose26 · 06-28-2011, 11:29 AM

Not bad. I know you can go ALOT wider on the rear. Cant remember the orange car guys name that had the c-one kit but i now he has 10" on the rear. Probably something like a 15x10+38 or something with factory bodywork. With the amount of extra width on the rear of my car I could probably do a 16x12+38 or something along those lines. or a 16x10+0. The fronts would be the fun part.

As for Pur Blu's car it looks good. Its what he wants. My wheels are 16x8+0 and have very little poke and very little stretch. That was the point. I wanted less mexiflush and more flush on mine. Props to him on doing it though. Also if you look at the pull in the rear it doesnt flow with the rear bumper. A pronounced different between the 2. Mine is a smooth transition. Looks pretty much factory. Different strokes for different folks.

If/when I get new wheels i have alot more options for the rear.

That's Peter(Daddie Y) you're talking about...and his c-one kit is getting prepped for my car as we speak. :)

Those rims he has were custom modded stock steelies. I forget the specs, but they are pretty slick and look great.

I already explained my definition of driveable. You don't need to tell me anything. LOL@"don't know a thing about the damn car". I repaired all of my old cars many years ago while still at school, even whole cylindre heads, valves and stuff like that. Not to mention all kind of usual parts like brake calipers, brake shoes, suspensions, water pumps, timing belts and all kinds of fluids.

I know my english is not the best so sometimes people get me wrong or think it was some kind of offense. It is not meant like that. I am still learning. By the way don't forget i am from Germany. Car modding here is under strong regulation. Many things you do are not allowed here for safety reasons. So i put my experiences here as my measure.
