Same! Did you photoshop adjust the color? It's much more blue than I've seen in other pictures. Looks awesome! Is it that blue in person?

I didn't photoshop at all. It was just a Q&D from last night. Maybe it's just a weird camera effect because of the low lighting conditions. I'll post more soon. The halos are incredibly cool though.

Post pics of the fixed wheel arch! I want to see how well they fixed it. I called Dan today to start the financing process. I want everything squared up so I can ride down there and just sign the papers and go.

That color is easily the best looking grey I've seen on a car. Great choice!

I like that they are standing behind the touchup w/ a lifetime guarantee. $250 for gas ain't a bad compensation in my opinion. I'm glad it all worked out.

Sorry for the delay. Will post pics and write-up soon. Yucky out today and I also just had tinting done (30%) and the car is a bit dirty now. Looks like it's gonna rain later and maybe tomorrow. Hopefully there will be some sun because you really gotta see the car and paint with the sun out!

The folks at Fred Beans were great to deal with. I think I met Dan...a younger guy? He was telling me how awesome the car was to drive when they all flew down to New Orleans. Are you financing through Subaru? I went through PenFed and got 1.99%. One guy at the dealership mentioned he thought Subaru could have done 1.90%, but I'm not sure if that's really true.

Penfed is the way to go...can't remember who originally posted about them, thnk it was tripjammer, (thanks) but it is a really good rate. I am so glad things worked out to your liking, and you did pick the best color!

Isn't penfed a govt employee bank? Im probably mistaken. Yea Dan is a young guy. Really nice he puts up with about 500 phone calls a week from me lol.

Cool. Definitely have to check that out.

Yeah it was very fast and easy. You can even donate $15 to one of the charities to become a member (there are two options). Then you need to open some account with them for $5. I did GAP insurance with them too (which is an option they give you at some point in the process), but I'm not sure if that's a waste.

I think its valuable. No matter how underwater you are on the car value, you won't have to pay a penny if you total it and need to fulfill the car loan. Do you remember how much was it?

NYC BRZ · 06-02-2012, 08:49 PM

I joined Penfed. I have to fill out the loan paperwork this week. On Monday the dealer will call me back with the final numbers I need to finance.

Here are some pics of the fixed wheel arch:

I don't know if the pics make it look like there's something there, but honestly I couldn't see anything looking at the car carefully from all angles.

And here are some shots of the car from today:
