Nonamedude Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I mean that would make sense as you're increasing the angle. I've had a vibration I can feel under acceleration but I can't tell if it's new or not lol. It's not my driveshaft. Also the roads out here are bad.

xt2005bonbon Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Vibrations are hard to diagnose. But yeah, could still be your axles. Are they OEM still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abductee Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Did you flatten the surface of the shield too? Not yet. Curious to see what it looks like without flattering. I am just going to experiment before resealing them up to satisfy some curiosity. Ill report my findings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamedude Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Vibrations are hard to diagnose. But yeah, could still be your axles. Are they OEM still? One isn't. I got a good condition used oem sitting in storage for that one. The other is. Vehicle also has 180k on it but I haven't found any tears in the boot. Although maybe there's one now.

If you check the picture I posted, the new pattern looks even sharper than the JDM reversed version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xt2005bonbon Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 She's gonna look real good man. What is your setup for your turn signals and the parking light? What I did is use the small sockets (next to the low beam) as DRL and I installed Chevy Sparks bulbs for the turn signal sockets (double filament bulbs).

Abductee Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I am doing a DRL delete and using an amber LED bulb for running light. Turn signals will be amber LEDs as well. I may change it up later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abductee Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Finished this up (mostly) today. Still have to swap LR door. 20201101_165809 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamedude Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I thought you were doing a legacy front end not an outback front end. What's the big difference? Grill? I realize the headlights are hid but they still look really similar. Looks good though. I like the cleared lights in general but the black looks good on your car. Maybe I will black mine out if I ever get that far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) body cladding is the issue. And nice work btw! Edited November 2, 2020 by xt2005bonbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehsnils Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Black hood - you are on a track to look like a Swedish cop car from the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Today, fixed a flat, rotated tires and swapped rear Eibach 400 lbs/in with 500 lbs/in set. Feels pretty good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abductee Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Installed a DGM hood scoop on a NBP hood. Ordered a few 3m vinyl wrap samples to see what would be closest to SWP for the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebourne Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 or just wrap the roof black, to match the hood? ;-) pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abductee Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Technically I would have to do the roof and doors to truly be "POLIS" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebourne Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Oh this is super ghetto, but I think i'd consider it in your shoes. Fake carbon fiber wrap on the hood. eh? eh? Most people would be fooled, and those that figured it out, well you have a conversation starter about your jdm front end journey. pic thread build thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamedude Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 You could do the route I plan. Plasti dip the whole car lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abductee Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 So? Pics? Where is it? Haven't done a whole bunch this week. Just driving back and forth to work. Mechanically it's fantastic. Still have to vacuum down and recharge the AC though. Oh this is super ghetto, but I think i'd consider it in your shoes. Fake carbon fiber wrap on the hood. eh? eh? Most people would be fooled, and those that figured it out, well you have a conversation starter about your jdm front end journey. I had that thought as well, but I'm not sure I want to go full ricer. I did look at the RRevsports carbon hood. I would still wrap or paint it even if it was real carbon. You could do the route I plan. Plasti dip the whole car lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I looked at dipping the whole car, but for now I'm just going to wrap the hood myself. I may wrap or dip the whole car in the future as a stop gap till I decide/want a full paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abductee Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Dash cam installed, Rear door swapped. New door had black handle and clear glass with crappy tint, so I swapped in my factory tinted glass and swapped handles. Also swapped out my bosch WBO2 sensor that had failed and was reading high. Installed LaminX yellow vinyl to the fog lights. Cleaned some Japanese dirt off the bumper (haven't washed the car yet). 20201107_114757 20201108_101152 20201108_111615 20201108_115319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonamedude Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Spent all day yesterday trying to black out the body cladding. Failed horribly. It dried really fast and so all my peel when wet areas got messed up. I already peeled it all off. Emblems came out pretty decent though. I'll deal with the overspray later Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
