Mala's 2011 STi "Stanley"

[20wrx09]

My tailights are smoked with vinyl. It makes seeing in reverse difficult, but having 20% tint on the hatch window isn't helping either . I plan on getting rid of it and going with red vinyl because its hard to see in reverse at night.

Don't tint the tails black.  Just put the red overlays on. 

[Malachoz]

Why Red overlays? I actually like the "smoke" look against the SWP, I don't want to introduce red into the equation since its not there.

[20wrx09]

Well I plan on cutting out the reverse lights so can see in reverse, and it would look goofy with the smoke. So red looks like it should be factory and I will see

Nite shades spray on tint. Cover the reverse lense with tape so they wont get painted. If you are not good with a rattle can (like myself) find someone that is. 2 coats of nite shades and 2 coats of clear coat will make them darker but not black. I can find a meticulous write up on saab92x.com about the process. They look dark but light up pretty bright when you hit the brakes

There you go Daryl, done.


For some reason I couldn't get the damn right screw off so I just ripped the plate bracket off and chiseled away the rest with the screw driver. Got as much as I could from under the screw.

Oh, successfully moved the STi badge too, wiped, washed and alcohol prepped the area where it was going onto and it held fine so far, re-heated it when I re-applied it to the new location so it would stick on.

sweet   
looks a million times better moved lower like that 

[Malachoz]

The AWD is coming off too once I get my AWD sticker I ordered. And let me tell you, that STi symbol is 3 pieces and a bitch to replace in pieces and make it look like factory.

[Kavik]

  ummmmmmm, i think there's a stick on stencil to use for that 

[Malachoz]

ummmmmmm, i think there's a stick on stencil to use for that 

Are you fucking serious? 

Do you know how annoying putting that little fucking i was? I wanted to kill puppies and murder chicks.

[Kavik]

   I'm sorry, I didn't mention it because I ran across it while looking up the chrome badge you were talking about getting.....figured you had seen it, and relly I don't even know if you can buy it seperately or if you can only get it with new badges

[Malachoz]

Yeah bro, badge relocation is something I'm really NOT looking foward to again any time soon. Thankfully all I have to do is take off the AWD and I'm done with all that shit. The only other thing I have to do is put my Rally pig on my side marker without him getting all crinkled and thats it.

[Malachoz]

AWD Sticker came in. Will be taking off the AWD embelem this weekend more than likely.

Space reserved for pics of Stanley V1.5 ( maybe this weekend if its nice and I can have him washed)

Most stuff installed, still more to be added.

[Tdimpreza]

Is that an original UNYSOC sticker? I just found a stash of the original ones.

[Malachoz]

Nope, thats the new ones that Jake just had made.
