Can you share more pictures/review on that extreme dimensions front bumper?

From what I've seen from the pro-detailing videos, they recommend consistent pressure with both hands on the orbital. You were probably doing a quick pass to spread the compound/wax in the video and I didn't see what you did afterwards - but the end result looks good!

Are the tail lights painted or are those vinyl overlays? I'm thinking about trying vinyl so I can try both red and amber turn signals and see which I like more.

It is painted.

It was just a wax, so I did not need that much of pressure

This weekend I did some vinyl on the tag area of my trunk lid. Pretty straight forward.

I pulled off all the emblems and the trim piece with the tag lights in it (whatever you call that bit) and completely wrapped it. Then I laid out my line in Knifeless tape (which, by the way, is FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC) and applied the vinyl to the trunk. The last thing I did was reassemble everything and stick the emblems back on.

For anyone who might want to do this my only suggestion is make sure you prep the surface really well and, if possible, do it in a garage or at least where there isn't much dust in the air. I washed the area (with Dawn to remove any wax) then clayed to make sure I got the cleanest surface I could before I laid down the vinyl. I still wound up with a tiny wrinkle near the trim piece (and a few behind it because I was getting lazy and they would be covered anyway) and a couple pieces of something (I think from cutting the backing from the vinyl) under the vinyl that left little bumps, but they are hardly noticeable.


I think I'm going to do the little bit of the bumper that's peeking out behind the trunk lid, as well, just to make it blend better.

Are you running spacers on the rims? The more I see those TRD wheels the more I'm liking them

I recommend reconsidering the placement of that "SUBARU" lettering. Just my $.02

Was going to use glossifier, but I really liked how it looked without. It's more of a satin finish rather than flat. Looks better in person than in pictures.

These wheels look 10X better in one solid color!
