I like your car. I'm not big fan of lexus lights, I like better black lexus lights, factory lights are very ugly. These look like very old KIA or Proton, or other cheap car from Korea.

This thread should be renamed "How To Ruin Your Car" !
No disrespect but it looks pants!
Even the paint on the wheels is coming off in sympathy,
Whats the "Bits And Bobs" ? More quality tuning products?

Thanx for your input of such negativity,
however I like it and no disrespect taken.
If you were to own it then you could do with it as you see fit.
But that is the joy of individuality.
I am 35, Married with 2 kids, I own the scooby and another car and I live in a semi detached 3 bed house.
You on the the other hand sound like you live with mummy & daddy, Probably on there insurance, and more that likely, have an 04 UK STI which you still owe £14k on.
Grow up!

If you can't handle negative feedback about your car then don't post pictures of it on here!
And I don't owe anybody a penny! Isn't life great!

Default green machine

Yep like it alot. Got a green one myself. Bought it bog standard and like you and most other owners want to personalise it a bit. Got the the same graphics sat in the cupboard at home waiting to be fitted but now redundant as I changed the wheels to 18" silver which wouldnt look right with gold decals. So may well invest in either silver decals or possibly black.Also like yourself just fitted the rear higher level spoiler which goes in next week to be painted in the correct colour. And oh nearly forgot the black Lexus lights arrive next week. So good on you and thanks for posting the pics.

With regard to the Toyo stickers on the back, has it actually got Toyo tyres fitted on it?

I would just find it amusing if you were advertising a brand of tyres that weren't even fitted to your car!

I have already posted pics of my ex car on here, but that was a while back when it was cool to own a Subaru,

Looks awful. The very definition of chav-sh1te. Are you sure you didn't post these pics for a laugh ??

Obviously just my opinion, so take it with a pinch of salt.

C'mon Guys - call off the dogs

Once again, ScoobyNet's bigotted attitudes come bubbling to the surface.

6 of one. half dozen of 'tother.

The poster has made some choice mods to his motor, suited to his own personal likes. He's made th request for comments.

This was his mistake - perhaps unwittingly opening himself to comments he may not have expected.

On the other hand, perhaps some of you could turn the tables - what if comments were said about your possession that weren't exactly favourable. no doubt, some of the keyboard warriors would react in similar fashion.

It would seem that the mature thing to do would be to respond in a more constructive fashion - such as how he could improve the car even further.

There is no need for this to turn into a p1ssing contest.

IMHO, I'm not a Lexus lights fan. The wheels, although really nice (along with the calipers) could do with a refurb. The stickers are what they are. The interior is MUCH better
Could do with a Prodrive spoiler (not a common STI5/6 one though - EVERYONE's got one of these!)

Foglight covers? 22B Bonnet vents? Colour-code the mirrors/spats?

Going in the right direction, but stickers/lights are a REAL personal choice.

It would seem that James Neill and Dr Who are just trolls who like to wind up people, as you can see from they HUGE post count that there active members on here
As for the Lexus lights, well i prefer the Afterburners myself and stickers, again personal choice but i think they good great and yes car my car was built and is serviced and maintaned by SCOOBYCLINIC the UK's largest indendant Subaru specialist


Best colour too

Thanx For that Dazza, Couldn't agree more, Whats more frustrating is that DRWHO doesn't even own a scooby, How sad is that, Coming on here and dreaming.
The only reason he is dis-respectful to real scooby owners is the fact that he can't afford one never mind his jibe about owning one when they were cool.



Nice Car by the way!!!!!!!

Did you colour code the heater surround yourself? If so, was it a tricky job?

I'm over bottesford way, I'll give you a wave if I see you. (Won't be hard the way its looking )

Cheers

Looks just like yours in the first shots but with silver alloys and mid level spoiler. You'll prob see the missus in it first anyway seen as I have a 40 mile commute. Funny, she seems to get waved at all the time??? (scratches head)

Like the green and gold combination but the stickers are not my cup of tea (Toyo ones on the back). Pretty indifferent to the Lexus lights as well.

At the end of the day as long as you like it thats all that matters but if you ask for comments you need to take the good with the bad (providing they are not personal )
