Mother of God, Chargespeed fenders for the win. I can't wait.

Side skirts next. Anyone have any suggestions? My kaminaris didn't fit with the rear fenders.

The rear overfenders are L'aunsport widebody GG fenders, fit over the stock fender, which was cut, split and welded to create a new wheel well.

One more photo for good measure:


This car sat at about 5.5 feet wide in stock form. I'm now just a hair over 6 feet wide.

Chargespeed fenders showed up. Here's everything mocked up:




That's it for a little while. I'm getting keys to a new place this evening, so it'll be a little hectic getting moved in and settled before anything happens to the car again.

Small update here - no photos.

Unrelated first: I picked up a 2013 Forester last week as a new daily. Now I know what everyone loves about them so much. Great car!

Parts update:
The Legacy Spec B 5th and 6th gear set came in the mail today. I also received my new carbon 4th-6th synchros too.

I picked up a new OEM front bumper. I'm going to install some high(er) end quick releases on this one. After ripping the last one off countless times, I think it's worth the investment.

I'm still waiting for the fenders I ordered from Chargespeed to show up. Last I heard, they still hadn't shipped from their California warehouse. Thus far, I'm not impressed with their customer service at all. It's a shame, because they make bitchin' parts.

I did a rear hub swap with my friend over this past weekend, too. I needed these hubs to run the Wilwood rear brakes that I was able to get a hold of. They've got somewhere around 150k miles on them, so I'm going to replace the wheel bearings just to be on the safe side.

In other news, I'm pulling the coilovers that are on the car now and selling them. Fortune Auto recently released an aircup set up, so I'll be ordering new coilovers with aircups installed. They'll provide two inch actuation and still provide the handling benefits that come with coilovers. I'm just not looking forward to having a goofy ass tank in the back of the car, but worse things could be happening I guess.

Very impressed by this build. Nice to see that you're doing what you want, not what every other Subaru guy has already done.

Sticking with silver I'd assume?

Thanks!

I'm actually changing the color of the car completely. I'm planning to go with a battleship gray. Think something similar to this color, but with flake instead of a flat color.
