Got the car back from Subaru finally, put on clear side markers with amber bulbs, swapped the fogs to amber leds, and installed the tapturn relay.

That hood is awesome!!!! So is the back deck lid. How much did it all cost you??

God, I wish I hadn't have seen that hood. Just when I thought I was almost done putting money into my car you had to post that. I gotta have it!

Some people requested night pictures of the Diode Dynamic Stage 2 Fog Lights. Here you go. Also wanted to include pics of my dipped wheels. Just finally got around to dipping them a few days ago. It's hard to capture on camera, but in one picture you can see that the Diode Dynamic LED is a little blue compared to the factory HIDs. I think it looks awesome even though it's not a perfect match.

BTW, this is Plastidip Glossifier. 5 coats of matte black, with 4 coats of Glossifier. In all honestly, the glossifier made very little difference. It still looks matte black, which is what I did not want. I'm not very satisfied with the look of the wheels, so I think I'm going to be purchasing black 18" Enkei M52 wheels in October.

850 is not bad at all. How much to install it? or did you do it yourself?

Is this the hood? SEIBON® - TS-Style Carbon Fiber Hood??

How's the sun glare like with the rear deck when you're inside? Is it blinding or tolerable?

The factory HIDs are going to be a 4300K color. Our white LEDs are a close match to a 6000k color.

...We sell 6000k replacement bulbs for just $39.99 a pair

Looks awesome though, thanks for posting the pictures!
