Wider than it is Long: A build thread.

i came. multiple times. i might make an IG just for this car alone. O_O

Any plans to take the tire sidewalls down 5mm?

I would LOVE to have a smaller tire. Would make everything so much easier.
They're 265/35's now. A 255/35 would be awesome, and 265/30's don't exist. I also don't think I could fit a 275/30 up front.

Dude is that at Furman? Looks like our football stadium.

also your car is hngggggg

It's close! It's actually at the Wofford Stadium. I go to school in Spartanburg so we took photos up there.

Nicest bug eye ever. Was that blue wrx wagon at simply clean?

Yes it was! That's Andrew, he lives in Florida and NC!

Oh, makes sense. Almost went there haha. I'll honk if I see you although I doubt this car gets used for Cookout runs.

Haha I see a slammed TSX (might be gray?) around there all the time but have never seen your car. I will keep my eyes peeled. WaHo ftw.

Turned out real, real nice in the end. Super stoked to see it out looking damn fine.

the tags for this thread are classic. been following you on instagram and like 50 of my friends posted this today. great work love the color/work

I love bug eyes. This is the beefiest one I've ever seen and the way the paint lights up the contours of the fenders is gorgeous.

Ahh alright that was probably the cleanest WRX i've ever seen

Damn dude, I gotta tell ya, when I first started following this thread, I definitely thought it was just going to be one of those threads where someone starts hacking stuff up, tries making everything work properly, realizes he's in way over his head and gives up. I give you massive props for staying motivated and seeing the project through. The finished product looks nothing short of amazing and the fenders flow so nicely. The color looks rad and compliments the bodywork perfectly, and I usually can't stand that color on any car. I'm personally not a huge fan of the pinstripe or decals, but I can easily look past it.

Altogether, I'm very impressed and stoked for you. It must feel great to see it all come together.

Awesome. Great job. The car looks hooooot!

[DaguerrotypeI]

Damn dude that was one ferocious build! I love the product! The 326 power wing was a great touch I might also add. Seriously still in amazement over this build. So sick!!

Hahahah at the beginning I definitely was that guy. But failure definitely isn't an option seeing as this is my only car- been driving my Dad's extra car for a year.
Thank you dude, really. I've looked through your build thread and it's just amazing how much work you're doing, I can't even imagine. Mine is near a stopping point and I'm excited about that.

so what wheels are next?

I redid the Bazeria's, they're cool- black just isn't gonna go with the color.







Here's a closeup. I wanted to brush the lips- so we literally just put the car on jackstands, and put it in first gear. It actually worked pretty well! And the faces are painted because the chrome is still under it. I love how they came out. Even though these pics are super grainy.

This thing turned out so, so good. Well done, man.
