Looking great dude. Have to meet up and do a "black and white" shoot around town somewhere.

We will probably end up at C&C together at some point. Though I'm not sure when.. Next Sat is out, the 23rd is possible depending on work, but the following three are out.

You could come by the Byers meets on Friday nights.

I heard about the byer's meets.... Is that on sawmill or hamilton. Might go to C&C saturday.

You get your bra done by julius yet?

It's the Byers on Billingsley off Sawmill. Under the windmill.

Julius did his thing last Wed. Pretty much the same coverage as you. Bumper, half hood, fenders to match, mirrors, a-pillars, 6" of roof, headlights, and rear bumper at the trunk opening.

Will call them up tomorrow, How long did they take to do the job?
Did you leave the car there or waited ?

Thanks for the profound analysis! Both your cars are amazing, I cant wait for my CBS limited!

Only a couple hours. I waited.

Best part was I could get in on a Saturday and didn't have to schedule out to mid July.

That was a great comparison to read Draco.

With my '06 WRX, I noticed the same thing with the clutch - going to other cars, I nearly slammed the clutch pedal through the firewall. Then going back to the WRX, it felt like a leg press. My '08 STI clutch seems quite a bit lighter though.

With the STI it's easy to get crazy with power - cheap and easy - it's easy to forget how hard it pulls in Stock/Stage 1 form. I remember someone saying the best mod they ever did for their STI was to get a low-power daily beater car.

I dig the smoked corner lense.. looks real nice!

I'm going to get some clear lenses when they hit the mark at affordable prices. But I've got WRB.. Smoke looks excellent on a black car.. i'd do the same thing.

Glad you guys liked the writeup.

The clutch does annoy me, and I'm wondering if a master cylinder from another Subaru might work.

It was a necessary mod, IMO. Looks so much better now. I did a really bad job of it though, so I'm going to try and source some more, possibly darker, tint and do it again with the markers off the car.

dude the smoked out side marker looks so good! idk why i didn't think about doing that, but thanks to you, I do now!
