Yeah, I'll let you know if I do. I regret painting it though, and I'm not sure if I can strip the paint off without something reacting with the tan plastic.

Nah, you just know where my closet, er, apartment is located.

Speaking of which.... I still have tools over at Mike's that I keep forgetting to pick up.

So what's up with the Plasti-Dip solution??

as i mention before nice as always!

Thanks dude.

The center console is still just chilling here. I'm dragging my feet on painting it... I've noticed that I now keep both hands on the wheel since I don't have anything to lean on.

I just installed the STi mudflaps over the weekend, as well as a replica old school WRX trunk decal. I also have some Colin McRae memorial decals waiting at home for me. I'm going home this weekend for mid semester break, so I'll get those installed and take some pictures. No promises on the car being clean though.

pics now!! lawl

**RoadRunner** · 10-16-2007, 08:22 PM

what color are the flaps?

**t3hWIT** · 10-16-2007, 08:22 PM

This is what the rear decal looks like, gunmetal lettering with a red strip beneath "WRX".

I'm also going to get the "Type RA" decal too. Whine all you want about the "NA" and lhd factor, I'm still going after a semi-stock WRX RA look.

These will eventually be replaced with the cartoonish STi decals, however I will need to get my trunk repainted when I do that.

**t3hWIT** · 10-16-2007, 08:24 PM

No pics, digital camera hopefully coming for Christmas.

The mudflaps are black with white lettering. The front driver side has a metal strip that I bolted onto the bottom. It's really loud when I scrape, but my goal was to make sure that the material lasts. They have about 1/2" of ground clearence.

EDIT: Oh, I'm about 90% sure that I will be getting a black SAFC in trade for my silver/blue SAFC.
