De-tango'd Silver Blobeye STI
It's dark but i'm pleased with the outcome and job done so therefore shall whack a picture up now and some tomorrow when it's not dark.
Really pleased with how it looks now, much much cleaner and i'd say simple modification but I found it bloody hard!
Broke my drivers side headlight bulb so shall replace both fronts tomorrow and keep passenger side as a spare.
Before
After
Next task to fit the STI strut braces and defi gauges.

Cheers it looks better in flesh and light but pics are dark. I'm happy with it though but I thought it would of been easier to do.
Hopefully will be no condensation leaking into lamps. The passenger side survived last nights cold, todays rain and a hand car wash by me so i'm confident that'll be fine. Drivers side has survived my hand car wash but will have to wait and see how it holds up in tonights cold.

Mmmm, not really feeling the spraying yet, looks good but i'm pleased with outcome. Can always do that at later time now I know how to take them out etc.
Show season i'll have to have a look at some and see how they look.
Overall though it's better than tango'd in my opinion.
Elmer Fudpucker what grill is that on your car?
