Zakster87 Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 So out of curiosity, why did you go with the stretched tires? Why not got with a 245 series at least? Clearance issues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro3waii_pnw Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I did not plasti dip the chrome. I don't really have a tutorial, It was my first time, i even messed up some places. you just have to tape it perfectly because if you tape over like the edge and when the plasti dip dries, if you pull it off the tape it'll pull and you'll see the white roof. Good thing about plasti dip is you can redo it. I might just do that. the can was like 6 bucks. so you can always do it again. I also just bought a bunch of plasti dip and the gloss I just didn't want a big stretch for mine. just a little one. but it doesn't rub or anything.

GTEASER Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 The tape has to be pulled off before the plastidip dries. Also, if there is a small gap, like between the trim and rubber, that automatically creates a void in the plastidip and you can pull it off the rubber without pulling it off the trim, so no need to tape it off. Youtube is great resource....use it.

jackal8788 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Jackal8788, did you plastidip the chrome on the window trim? Do you have a tutorial?? Sorry efren, just saw this now. Yes, I did Plastidip all the window trim chrome. Basically I just did a lot of masking off of the area with newspaper. It was time consuming to cover everything but I wanted to make sure it looked good. Plastidip is easy enough to remove if you botch, but I prefer to minimize cleanup whenever possible.

Unsp0kn Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Here are some random pics that I have. I have a 2013 Subii Legacy 2013 Satin Pearl White Forgestar 19x9.5 (offset +38) stretched 225_35 R19 H&R Racing Springs And just yesterday I plasti dipped the roof. Is this pic with the H&Rs or the next ones where it's sitting lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro3waii_pnw Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 yeah those are the H&R springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakster87 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) And that was just on the stock struts too, right? I'd love to see how much space there is between the tire and the strut body. Edited March 2, 2015 by Zakster87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsp0kn Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 yeah those are the H&R springs. Ok, what's on it when it is sitting lower? Coils? I'm looking at going H&R as well but with 245/40R19 size tire, so I will likely have less fender gap then that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro3waii_pnw Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's the stock struts this picture was the day i got them installed. there's about a 1 1/2 inch gap. I don't think it'll rub to be honest. if i get new rims i wanna get 20's. I have 19 by 9.5 and there's no rubbing and if i were to get 20 it'd fill the gap and probably still not rub.

Falcor Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=205635&d=1427733807 Are those the fiberglass or CF eyelids? I tried Plastidip for the eyelids to see if I liked the look, and haven't removed it yet. Was planning on eventually going to the fiberglass since most say the CF don't match the headlights very well. I'm in Shawnee and work in KCK. Haven't seen your car running around.

I'm right off SMP and Monticello! I've never seen your either! Yes, they're carbon fiber but I painted over them OEM satin pearl. If you want to meet up one day, I have a spare set I will just give to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faded-a-fool Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I couldnt get my eyelids to stick to the headlight using 3M double-sided tape. It seemed like the mold was warped a tiny bit and they would pop off after a few minutes. How did you mount the eyelids? Did you do anything special? Any modifications?
