EXTRA NOTES:

-we are going to get the paint job professionally done later
-the rims, mesh grille, and any decals will be gold soon
-there are still many things that i have to do to the body before i start focusing on interior and performance
-a drop is in the near future (not sure which route i'm gonna go though)
-1320 Performance and Sound is the shop that i do all of my business at...major props to those guys
-I'll try to get some day time pics ASAP

*how do you guys like those fender flares? biggrin.gif

i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.

I fail to see how the front fenders are 'TRD' and how the rear vents are functional.

I need to see some daylight pictures.

Please don't add gold mesh!

Stick with the silver looks a lot cleaner and professional

my 2 cents

With these wide fenders you might also consider to put distances on wheels to align them with fender edge. This would look even better in my opinion.

yeah, we're still talking about the color of the mesh and the tires. i just know that i want them to match. the thing is that everybody who has a blue car either has their contrasting color silver or white. I'm just trying to go for a look that stands out but still looks clean...we'll see.

also, the back tires will be having spacers put on them to give the image that i have larger tires and it will help fill out the fender with the flares. that is also what is going to make the back vents fuctional...the air will be able to go through and cool the brakes. of course it's mainly for show, but nobody has vents in their car that let you see through the other side.

and as for the vents in the front being trd...that is the style vent that many supras have on their fenders. the only difference is that on the supra it is just a cut out triangle with mesh or some type of covering. on mine it actually goes through to the front wheel well. this one is functional because when driving, especially turning, wind hits the back of your wheel well. these vents allow for that drag to be released.

Looks hot!

Love the color, but I would concur with others, stick with accent color as silver. Subaru ruined the gold/ blue look with having cars come off the line with the gold rims on blue cars.

I love how it looks. Jealous of how it look!
