my 02 wrx budget build. how cheap and low can a subie go?

YAY! my adapters STILL arent here...sweeeeeeeeeeeeet

anyway, I'm cutting out my haggard passenger side rear quarter, and replacing it, and I bought an 04 sti rear bumper, looking for taillights, so that brings me to my next point. I'm going to end up painting the whole car sooner than later....soooo

Do I satin black it until winter when I repaint it properly (done properly...I think the car can REALLY pull it off) or since I spent all the effort prepping it to paint it, do I just re-do it the same color....

Between now and winter, I'll be painting my race car (datsun 510) so I'd like to use that as practice, before I tackle my daily driver, that's the only motivation to satin black it. Get practice and learn more before I do my daily.

She's getting there! put my 04 rear end on yesterday. SO much better. Next is prodrive lip and paint. Not sure if I'm going to do a full color change back to silver, color change to 09-V (color of the trunk) or try and match the beige. I kind of like the beige...thoughts?
