Pinky's Wagon!

[somethingpink03]

Ok, so here it is: My 2007 Impreza 2.5i wagon.

Mods so far:
STI axleback exhaust
STI pink painted OEM brake calipers
STI pink painted front badge

Upcoming mods:
Prodrive springs
Rims and tires of some sort (gold or white- suggestions?)
STI replica (aka Ebay) strut tower bars
Swaybars- Front and rear
OEM foglights
Anything else I could possibly think of between now and then.

So enough of that, here are my pics!

Hahahahaha... well I forgot a couple mods. They are:

Debadged rear hatch
JDM Hello Kitty STI badge (biggest whp gain so far! lol)

You painted the calipers while they were on the car?

Nice.

I need Russel to take some nice pro pictures of my car sometime. My photography skills are FTL!

[somethingpink03]

LOL... the paint kit I got was brush on, so there was no need to remove the calipers. 2 part reactor paint FTW! It is great stuff.

I am sure Russell would love to take pics of your car. The first pic he took was right before a huge t-storm. Hopefully he can do some this weekend or something.

[TrickyDik]

Yea I'll have to talk to him sometime and maybe find some free time for him and I to meet up. I am getting my car detailed next Friday so maybe if you guys come over for the meet at my place (the 15th) he could bring his camera.

Where'd you get the kit?

Russell got it for my birthday. It works great! Plus it is heat resistant to like 950 degrees or something. I used it on my front badge too.

[TrickyDik]

Cool thanks.

Since you're looking for suggestions, I guess I'll ask questions.:) You wanted an opinion as to white or gold wheels. Do you plan on using rims for competition or street use? Street: gold, race: white. (I have a soft spot for 16x8 and 17x8 white Rota Slipstreams)

[unsakred]

gold ftw imho

You should join the wagon Mafia

[Gitster]

Dont go White on the wheels, you need the contrast. Stay Hyper Silver or go darker possibly.

If you really want to run with the PINK and WHITE theme, dont go to radical on the wheels, I dont think Gold would go well with pink and white.

You could paint your Badges Pink !!

Might be awesome?? Depends on the wheels.

Nothing wrong with Gold. I am selling my current Gold wheels too ;)

No theres nothing wrong with Gold. There is also nothing wrong with Gold and White.

BUT, there is something wrong with Gold, White, and Pink.

She needs charcoal wheels.

Those look best with white IMHO

[unsakred]

I would say a good dark color wheel or gold will look best, the gold might contrast w/ the calipers way too much.

Yes, and Yes.

Definitely consider the badge idea though, or at least get a spare badge to play around with, if your sticking with that scheme.

[somethingpink03]

I did get my front badge painted the same pink as my brakes. It was really easy and the paint has lasted very well.

As for wheels, I have decided to go for a set of 06-07 WRX 17" stockers. I think they'd look really good once I lower my car as well. They look clean, and would really set off the pink brakes, without being too crazy or expensive for that matter.

Speaking of which, who has a set they are willing to sell me for a good price?

[Gitster]

Yes that would look very classy, and set off the Pink nicely. I like those wheels alot. If your front is Pink, you gotta match the rear !

[TrickyDik]

I'd love to sell off my stockers but they will be used as my winter wheels.

[Nate8409]

Photoshop it Brandon. My copy of CS3 broke already otherwise I might give it a shot.

It actually doesn't look all that bad lmao

[Bu11dogg2]

If they were 17's with low profiles it would look good

[unsakred]

If they were 17's with low profiles it would look good

agreed, but color wise it doesn't clash as much as I thought it would

[somethingpink03]

Looks good! I might think about goldies later on, but I think my best bet is a set of 17" WRX stockers. I'm too poor to afford anything else.

where did you get the badge?

The Hello Kitty STI badge was a gift from my wonderful b/f for my birthday, along with the brake paint ~bounce~

I think he got it on Ebay... you can check there.

I agree with the gold the more i think about it. I think a hyper silver or white would look best. Or maybe dark rims once I can afford it.

Cool thanks Im looking for the rx8 one so I'll check it out.
I would def go with the dark wheel you will hate white ones after a while. Keeping them clean will suck

[angelasweet]

Gold looks good on every car. If anyone tells you otherwise, bust 'em in the teeth.

:)

[Nate8409]

Good Call.

Not a fan of gold on cars. Bring it...

But really, I don't think gold wheels look good on subarus. Just not my cup of tea.

[Nate8409]

Just like you didn't think before you snorted that line of coke then took a hit of some pcp laced pot, pounded some 151, and popped some speeeeed.

[Murphy2012]

Ok Nate is officially the biggest post whore ever. 3 Weeks ago we had the same amount of posts....now look....400 seperating us....WHORE!~nerd~

[mdungelman]

White on Gold = HOTNESS.
Black on Gold = HOT.
WRB on Gold = Very Nice(but Tricky don't agree)
Silver on Gold = Eh, its ok;)

I would need all that just to think that gold on any car is good looking...said it.

Or you're slacking? Which makes me so very lazy!

White on Gold = HOTNESS.
Black on Gold = HOT.
WRB on Gold = Very Nice(but Tricky don't agree)
Silver on Gold = Eh, its ok;)

White on Gold = Bleh
Black on Gold = Bleh x 2
WRB on Gold = Bleh x 11ventybillion
Silver on Gold = I think I just drank some scum water, threw it up in my mouth, only to swallow it again and cause me great amounts of diahrea.

[HamSocks]

They sell any of that wheelskin caliper paint around here or can you only order it online? I'm upgrading to Brembos eventually, but some stock red calipers would look cool right now.

[Nate8409]

yOU' RE A WHORE!!!!

[doylfish]

ehh, you can bust my teeth in, or you can try, but gold just doesn't look that good on silver, and definitely not on the new urban grey or crystal grey metallic, gross

[DrewSTi]

Black on Gold = unbeliveble super hotness

As Les Claypool says, "Its just a matter of opinon."
