Nice day for some pictures...

My parts from AM came in last night and I got some time to do the installation this morning. I also got the opportunity to snap some quick pictures with the trusty camera phone. It's not the best setting and definitely not the quality I'm looking for but that'll be taken care of this weekend when my brother with his new STI and I go for a drive/photoshoot. He's got thousands invested in his camera equipment so they should turn out nicely.

Anyhow, without further ado...

These were taken the day after I bought her and have been sitting in my camera since.



A little colorsplash work:



And these two were taken this morning after adding the mods and cleaning out my engine bay:





I gotta say I'm a little disappointed because I thought I ordered the magnetic blackout panel when I actually ordered the plastic piece that is installed with adhesive. I called AM and they said there's nothing they can do because I already installed it. Oh well... It still looks good.

Anybody with experience with blackout head/taillights in VA?

Yeah? Wanna trade?

But in all seriousness I think your color setup is one of my favorites as well. Definitely in the top three.

Looks good! No experience with blackouts though.

And not to be creepy or anything, but I recognize the background in your pictures. When I first moved to the DC area, I am 99% sure that I lived in your neighborhood!

Haha... That's not surprising at all actually. After moving in there, the first party I threw I had a friend tell me the same thing. Of course he was out here before all the new townhouses were put in. If you had an elementary school in your neighborhood then you know where to find me!

i like the piece inbetween the tails alot better that you have. most of the ones i see the magnetic they dont cover the full thing, and it makes it look cheap.

Actually I 100% agree now that I've gone and looked at the magnetic one. It wouldn't really fit the theme of the car because it would be the only matte surface. The glossy finish looks great. I'm completely content with my mistake.
