Don't ruin your unmolested series blue by painting everything.

Please don't tint the lense itself. Buy some second hand headlights and paint the interior. That way they will function correctly, and still look blacked out, and you won't ruin your series.blue.

^^^ this would be the good way to get what you want. It won't sacrifice any light output at all

It's not a Series.Blue, it just has the kit and wheels. Unless Canada got the Azura Series for 2013/14

DO IT! screw all the haters in here. its your car.

I'd say 5% tint on the front and back. Tint the windows too, even the front windshield to get everything matching.

Then take a hard drive on a backroad at night.

Go to a craft store and buy black felt. The textured look will go great with some mudflaps and a big STi badge.

Nah, we're off plastidip. Chalkboard paint is where it's at. I can use red chalk to draw in some brake lights.

From a distance it did look more like blackboard paint. I must say it did grab my attention as it looks even worse from far back then it does in the close pic.

Yeah, I see that every once in a while around here. It's the worst.

Yes - I gleefully stole your photo. It seemed so appropriate!

soulreapersteve · 10-13-2015, 04:42 PM

Screw that! Remove the tail lights for maximum effectiveness!

I'm having deja vu right now...

Vincenttam · 10-14-2015, 12:36 AM
