pezzie

i should be in for the albert park meet :D and will attend garage cafe as well if i have nothing on that night.

Oh man that's great! I'm saving up for one of these in the wrx blue as well. Such a nice colour. Is it a hatch or sedan?

The front lip will be a one off.

Hopefully I can get it started when I finish my exams in two weeks. It should keep me occupied for the holidays.

Also Will, since you already have a facelift rear bar, and I'm guessing you're using the stock pf rear lights, so why not delete the reflectors on the facelift rear bar? I reckon it'd look alot cleaner that way.

I would do that instead of making a rear lip. A few rukus owners have done that in america have done that.

haha yeah that was a photoshop that i did, i used the prorgam paint though. hence the 'litte paint job i did' :P

I would listen to john since he has both bars and can compare them.

In the end its up to you Will, it WOULD be easier to save and buy a rear skirt.

OR if you're game and have some free time and like to DIY, make your own.

i might be starting a custom front lip out of scratch. but i want to get my car audio done first though.

from what i can see it can be done. i'll tell you how i would do it, it may take quite a bit of time though.

See how our bumper is straight then curves? attach the facelift rear from there so that it is straight.

Then you will need to find all the areas which are flush and think of a way to make them flush. I reckon if you did that it would look similar to the TTE rear lip. This is a little paint job i did a while back.

TTE lip diffuser

Other things you may need to think about is the cost to paint, tools to cut the bumper, mounting points.

Do you plan on running the speakers on an amp or just the headunit? If headunit then find something that doesnt require so many watts. Decent factory speakers go very well with after market headunits since they dont require much power.

If you get good speakers but dont amp them properly and deaden doors, i find that you dont get the most out of them.

My suggestion, for a basic set up is new headunit, set of splits in the front and a sub in the boot. Dw about rear fill since you're never in the back, passengers can listen to the front speakers.

wow thats a beautiful colour for the badge.

Did you mix acrylic 1k paint to get that colour?

I might have a go and paint the wheels that colour :D

lol i've see M3LTIN a few times up in the north. dont think they're on the forums though

Well here's an alternative.... :D

oh damn thats mad. i regret not getting them so bad now :(

I thought the 17's wouldve looked a little smaller which put me off. but they look perfect on your car

LOL omg, i was going to get RPF-1's for my red zre as well but pulled out last second. Now i regret not getting them. What size are your ones ray?

damn ash, maybe i'll drive up there one day and we can do a swap :D

hey,

which side skirt are you looking for? i might have it for sale. pm me :)

to P_T, if it was between the normal headlights on the facelift and the prefacelift headlights, then i would keep the prefacelift.

But when the facelift headlights get blacked out like in the levin zr, also with a modellista garnish, it looks so mean.

thanks guys! i overlooked the quarter panel, that looks like it might need a change as well.

I was worried about the mounting points as well. Looks like it'll be too much work to do.

Hey guys,

what do you reckon would be involved with changing the preface zre front to the facelift front.

I love blacked out headlights and modellista garnish for them.

So far from what i can observe in pictures, the changes are headlights, front bumper and bonnet. Do you reckon anything else would be involved?

If thats the case and i can find the parts, i might give it a go at the end of the year :D

Like ascendant rice said, its all about the prep. Make sure everything is as smooth as possible, wetsand the wheels so the paint have a surface to adhere to. Prime and paint with your choice of colour.

Acrylic is easy to use, the acrylic clear coat is a little hard to get right though.

thats such a clean subwoofer box :D

how are your doors with the volume turned up? Im getting heaps of rattles in the front door

damn this is going to be an epic meet. Too bad i've got my sisters birthday party. I'll try to make it when you guys are at orry's :D

I have noticed in the last few days that my dash light has not been turning on when i flick the parkers or headlights on.

Sometimes it will turn on straight away and sometimes i just need to give it some time and it is fine. Would anyone have any idea what the problem is?

I havent done anything to the car lately besides solder a remote wire to my pioneer headunit.

edit: i just remembered that around a month ago i installed a factory foglight stalk as well.

he's in maidstone so not too far.

I used a backyard tinter when i got my car done. He works at tint a car during the day and does backyard jobs on the weekend. $170 for the corolla. I got it in 28% which is just a tad darker than legal, but its not noticeable.

He was done in around 2 hours and gives you life long warranty. The backyarder also gets recommended by car dealers. When he was doing my car, this guy guy had his new 2010 Aurion ready for tinting, the toyota dealer told him to go to the backyarder. :D

Only problem is that you must be free when he is.

If you want his number pm me.

very unlikely man :) should look good with 18's

Hey guys,

I've got a set of Genuine ZRE side skirts up for sale for those interested.

I had intended on putting them on but i've changed my mind.

These are a picture of it a while back.

The silver one had been sanded down. My friend and i tried to spray it ourselves and the clear coat turned out real bad.

So now its currently being sanded down again. I'll have a better picture up tomorrow.

Asking for $400.

Im located in melbourne for those who want to pick up and i can send through a courier.

If you're interested then throw me an offer :)

Looks like Davo has some competition... :P

Just a picture i found from minkara, its a wax or polish called Vin?
