nice car!  i like what you've done.  usually not a huge fan of chrome wheels but yours look pretty decent. loving the steering wheel too!

that black hatch is SICK!   :coolsmiley:  makes me want the black FMIC now.

I'm a huge fan of the OZ Superturismos

i for one absolutely love the OZ superturismos  but i cant get them anywhewre! cant find them for sale anywhere. i have noticed that everyone on the newer wrx's have been talking great things about the spacers. the one that are on the featured car are hubcentric. As far as i know...its the best and safest way i beleive.

Please correct me if im wrong.


Thanks Guys i appreciate the kind words and help.

that black hatch is SICK!   :coolsmiley:  makes me want the black FMIC now.


i had plans for the black perrin fmic with either blue or black piping to match the stealth look im after.
This guy from nasioc is basically part for part exactly what i wanted to do...minus e85 and injectors






Everyone says they love the wheels...i think they just have to much bling in them... i dont know about hanging onto them or not.

I just fell in love with those. I may have to get these instead of Rotas.

Wait a minute. So, I can run spacers on my STi with no problem? Cause then That will eliminate the need for rims for me. And I can then spend that money on something else!

So i just got my nameless exhaust in a week or so ago. They made me there exhaust but with a trapezoid looking tip, that follows the exhaust cutout. Overall, very happy with everything they did!! The welds are perfect, and the car sounds great!

Before:  




After:







I also just ordered:

Grimmspeed master cylinder brace
Stoptech stainless lines
Hawk HPS pads
Epic lowering springs

When these come in, ill have to install the sway bar, endlinks, downpipe, pitch stop, exhaust hangers, subframe lockdown kit.

Its going to be a totallyyy different machine come next weekend  :mrgreen:

Fixed it for you, was a coding problem not an uploading problem.  You don't need to specify the height and width in the img tag, but if you do you have to make sure it's the right aspect ratio  :coolsmiley:

Do you have a pic of the whole rear of the car standing straight behind it?  It looks good from those angles, but I'd like to see it from dead center behind.

looks good!  it's different and +1 on Nameless's quality.  they blow on customer service though.  now you need to de-badge all but the "WRX" and move it down so it's even with the bottom of your back plate.

i'm undecided. On one hand it looks really, really nice....but on the other hand the rectangular exhausts with the very straight edged, sharp angled taillights makes it look very "new-age retro muscle car"-esque

I like the exhaust now. I think the round exhaust tips look strange on the back of the newer gens (08+). That looks factory, but not stock, if that makes sense.

Quote me now while I'm feeling good about it.  I've decided a WRX will be the vehicle that replaces the Jeep.  I can't see paying Evo prices or justifying purchasing a halfassed/beat to death example for the same asinine amount of money.  For an affordable, point to point, all-weather capable performance car, a wagon fits the bill.  A swapped wagon, even better.

It does make sense to me.  The exhaust looks great.  It adds kind of an 'upgraded' look instead of just 'modified'.

Im examining my front wrx emblem at the moment, thinking of taking it apart(black background from the chrome letters. And grounding down those little nubs and take that and put it almost directly next to my plate in the license plate cutout. With that i would debadge the entire car. Or maybe just replace the big wrx with the front one. (front is about half the size)

My third thought was getting older subaru and wrx emblems...give it something different...


Customer service through nameless is mediocre at best...but they made this for me from scratch....so im grateful of what they did. As far as i know there was one customer that was interested in doing the same thing as me....i sent them pictures of it, havent heard anything back.


i'm undecided. On one hand it looks really, really nice....but on the other hand the rectangular exhausts with the very straight edged, sharp angled taillights makes it look very "new-age retro muscle car"-esque

It sounds like its got some balls now. Just put the down pipe on yesterday...I would say it could pass for a new age muscle car  :roll:

Starting to strip down my winter wheels, going from black with red stripe to all white. Maybe a red stripe?  8-)   Anyone think it would be a good idea?

Im going to try and fix some of the curbage on the wheels with some bondo metal filler. Any tips and tricks would be awesome!
