STiXXX' '05 WRX- The Red-Headed Step Child

in the WRX you do a double take to see it

in the STI you get whiplash from trying to see it

in the WRX turbo lag makes hondas think they are fast

in the STI the hondas dont move at all

in the WRX you can sip your drink

in the STI there is no drink to sip

that's all my mind can think of

 
Hi.

This is Ryan's white STI with the "Evo" nose, which I like very much, indeed.

Anyhow,

I saw this paint a few years ago on a JDM car, and wanted to do it to the STI, but was, um, limited by its' blackness.

Along comes a RED WRX in to my life, and suddenly it' back ON, like Donkey Kong!

I wanted some outside opinions, just for fun...

What do you guys think of the same basic "Evo Nose" treatment, on my red WRX?

I think it'll look incredible, with the satin-black WRX skirts with the full "JDM" aero kit that's already on it, and the bumper spats... Especially when the 15/35% tint goes on along with some lowering springs, and it's been de-badged and the front grill loses its' pillar/add HIDs.

Your thoughts?

(Any of you bored, graphic-design types, PLEASE feel free to photoshop one for me, if that's your thing. I haven't "torrented" a new copy of photosLop for my new macbook yet, dammit!)

Mike's Accord, above, is approx. 500HP.

It will break traction and spin wheels at 60MPH.

The "evo nose" is all done on the WRX, pics to follow.

haha im thinkin of goin a different route next summer so im thinking im gonna sell em. would look great on the red head? ;P

 
DOH!! I already put the Project Kix 114.3 kit on, along with the '05 17x8" STI rims and LGT brakes/Hawk pads.

Next: Snows.

 
Saw your car this morning at Mike's, she looks really good! I love the black and red. It just needs alittle drop and it will look perfect.

 
Thanks!

Speaking of fail (I agree!) ride height... This week 2004 STI springs arrive, (Lo & Fog HIDs, too!) and the rear LGT brakes go in, along w Hawk HPS pads and a 22mm Cusco FSB.

The springs will lower it nicely, I've seen the "drop" already and it's a perfect line, I'm psyched for the full-meal-deal to be installed!

The skirts are painted now, and they kook great!

I'm posting via iPhone, when MS adds Tapatalk I'll ve able to post pictures via mobile. My thread at NES has shots, they have the Tapatalk app installed.

So far, so good.

Update:

The LGT rear calipers/rotors/Hawk HPS pads are going on this week, leaving only Cusco FSB/Kartboy endlinks/snow tires & HIDs for the Winter season, ftw.

Voodoo shift knob is AAA+, very comfy!

When I got the STI springs, they came with a pair of rear SPT "Pinks"... BONUS!

(Now I need a good, used, front pair of Pinks!)

I think the springs/LGT R brakes/Hawk pads are in, tomorrow.
