colHolm's Ultramarine 6M
 

So I'm kinda thinking this thread will be a place for me to keep track of everything I've done to the car.

To start, I took it over to Hamza7's place for a proper prep and detail. Pics are here. Before he really got into it, I removed the FR-S badge.

Next on the list was a front plate relocation kit. Thanks to RHO-Plate, I've got one! Not sure when they will be on sale, but here are some pics:

I've got LEDs for the dome light, trunk light, license plate light and reverse lights... just need to put them in and take some pics.

I'm just about to pay my invoice for my Beat-Sonic antenna. Once it gets here there will be more pics.

I've got some other plans that should start coming together over the next week or so. I'll keep you all posted. :thumbup:

So that was your car at Hamza7. Cool. :party0030:

Would you care to share the types or part numbers of the LED's for the various lights? I am interested. Thanks.

So the Canadians finally started getting their cars, eh? :happy0180:

Love the car and the color you chose! Am I the only one though that thinks if there must be a license plate the middle looks best?

Usually, I would agree. I like symmetry on my car. In this case, it's asymmetry lol. I just think that the plate in the middle takes away some of the drama of the grill... the offset plate is less of a visual distraction from the lines.

Picked it up on Tuesday!

A couple little things to share...

I've gotta thank Shinzowerks in Markham for wrapping the taillights for me. Just don't ask them to do another pair! I think I'll end up cutting out the turn signals, but for now I like the red.

I also got this keychain/key rack:

The base is magnetized. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

I want to get the lights wrapped as well but I'm concerned about the condensation issue and either having the dealer refuse to replace the lights if condensation starts or having to pay to have a 2nd set wrapped again.

Mind if I ask where you got one of these? I want one :confused0068:

Not sure when these will be available... As soon as I hear anything, I'll post up.

Keep it up!

let me know too please! that is awesome!

How much was it to wrap the taillights?

Run a bead of silicone around the lens and be worry free.

A couple updates - finished the tails and installed my beat-sonic antenna.

I'll try to grab some pics of the LEDs I installed.

Morimoto Mini H1 HID upgrade coming soon (with DIY guide).

The combination of the sharkfin and the tailight wrap make the car look so much better and not like a toy...nice work!

Now that's an awesome taillight.

Still no word on the keychain?

No, I haven't heard anything yet. I'll ask again tomorrow.

damn we have the same car, colour, and so far most our parts are the same haha

nice love it bro!

Here are some terribly blurry night time shots of the LEDs I installed.

Morimoto Mini H1 install tomorrow!

So I asked today, and it sounds like the keychains should be available soon. I'll post up when they are!

Ohh man, mods are coming out amazing. Keep it up, love the shinzo tails.

So in Canada, you can get the FR-S in Ultramarine but not the BRZ in GBS... that's interesting I wonder why Subaru decided that.

A little teaser... full write-up coming soon.

Appreciate it! If it's not too much trouble, just give me a PM when it's out!

Tell them BRZ owners are interested too :)

The color is awesome. :wub:

In the middle of disassembling the car for the retrofit...

Finished.

Output:

I wish I had some comparison shots of the output... It's soooo much better now!

I'm digging the look of those headlights...it's a shame Scion couldn't make the housing black to begin with...

Would it be possible for you to take a picture of your car a bit further back, and at the top down 3/4 angle you took earlier with your before headlights? I am considering blacking out my lights like you did (as well as a retrofit) but I just want to see a pulled back shot of your car (similar to your picture above with the front bumper off, good angle for comparison)

Love the results tho! Your car may have a close looking sibling in Saskatchewan soon haha.

I actually took some pictures this morning, and I think I've got one like you're looking for. I just don't have a USB cable at work to get 'em off my phone...

Found a USB cable!

Loving the rear fog!

:iono:

Rear light?

http://i297.photobucket.com/albums/m...S/DSC00512.jpg

Haha my bad, I assumed you were talking about the pics I just posted. As you can imagine, I was a little confused.

I love those LED reverse lights!

:thanks:

I see the line I plan on leaving chrome! if I had wifi at work I would do a quick photoshop and show you what I mean. but I am going to try for a chrome line detail...if it works, could look good (I will do a lot of photo shop before I risk doing it for real haha)

damn really loving the black out lights on this colour

looks like our cars will be twins in seperated at birth almost haha

Those lights look fantastic! :-)
