    JDM_Pro5's Build Thread

    I'd like to get 500 for it. That includes the aerocatch locking hood pins with the password jdm flush mounts. So, 500 plus shipping? I could probably ship it greyhound for around $50

    Unfortunately better indeed. The upkeep is a bit more pricey, but the return in driver feedback and pleasure is well worth it. I do believe the protege wins in the aesthetics departmart. I've never been a huge fan of bugeyes, or Impreza wagons for that matter, but both are growing on me. It's...

    Still digging my WRX wagon. I've almost fixed everything on this beast (getting parts left and right to undo things left by the previous owner) I've painted the scoop, mirrors, spoiler, and sideskirts white to match the body, pulled a replacement trans from the junkuyard, bought a jdm turbo off...

    Looking to sell the protege. It has 211k miles (still runs great) but has body damage which will always upset me. The current plan is to sell most aftermarket stuff to Alex Todd (aka ScratchNSniff). I believe he plans to make fiberglass replicas of my hood. Once the car is mostly stock, it will...

    Picked up a 2003 WRX wagon saturday. 160k miles on the body, around 100k on the motor. Got this beauty for $3k. Had to drive 5hrs from NC to D.C. to get it. STI seats, STI exhaust. K&N Typhoon Intake. I got it home saturday night and ordered a bunch of parts. Picked everything up sunday morning...

    The Never Ending Build

    Simon, for the time being, cut small rectangles out of satin black vinyl and cover those filler strip holes. I covered the washer fluid nozzle holes in the bottom of my hood that way

    The "Spicy Saloon" MSP build thread

    ^I agree completely. Nightshade is good for the tinting part, but that's all. It's not magic in a can, lol. If you want a good, finished product, you must clear and polish. I do buff and wax mine on occasion. Let me know how the tint film holds up. I'm curious if it hazes over time. You can...

    The "Spicy Saloon" MSP build thread

    Nightshade is tricky. You don't want full coverage when spraying. At first, it globs up when sprayed on (like water beading on a good wax job), but then it pulls together in an amazing act of osmosis and looks great. The second issue when using nightshade is needing to protect it. Most people...
