they definitely missed the boat on the taillights- by about 10-12 years

stoker68 · 02-08-2010, 11:44 AM

Is it weird that I don't mind the stock tails??? Maybe it's because I have DGM

Semaj07 · 02-08-2010, 12:27 PM

so carbon maybe it is me, but ummmm...who is taking photos of you turning a corner?

as far as the tails go they look good on white and DGM, but IMO blue, red and black don't really work too well...but again that is my opinion.

They look terrible on all colors.

I tried on my friends new wheels. They didn't fit

.

The car needed to go up another inch for me to be able to actually mount the wheel lol.

I like my stock tails, the contrast against the black is oddly pleasing

**Big Sky WRX** · 02-08-2010, 04:54 PM

I'm glad some folks like them- to me they look like something "cool" out of the 80's

when the EVO first hit our shores- they came w/ a similar tail lamp- someone in Japan probably thought - "hey them crazy American kids really dig this style of tail light"- the american EVO guys ended up spending big bucks buying jdm plain looking ones (maybe Mitsu was that stupid after all!

)

sccoby823 · 02-08-2010, 05:04 PM

i like my tails as well, it looks good with the silver

**Big Sky WRX** · 02-08-2010, 05:23 PM

well maybe the Japanese marketing folks know more about them crazy American than I thought

Carbon, an inch higher than what it is in the picture, or from stock? I want to try the Forester suspension to get it close to what it looks like in your pictures, minus the horrible camber. That and some ~+38 offset 16" gravel wheels and tires.

Finally got the car sledding video together, but apparently it's really bad to promote music you like on YouTube.. Going to have to only have about 30-45 second music "clips" to make the internet gods happy. It'll be up there tomorrow, for now it's on my photobucket.

And inch higher than the picture lol. I couldn't even get the wheel on the car because it wasn't high enough.

youtube sucks for hosting, I had a vid up there for a good 6 months or so before they decided that my soundtrack was unacceptable and they pulled the audio. The vid is too long to have on my photobucket else I'd have it there. I do have it on my fb page.. but, have that locked down so only my friends can see.

binjoau · 02-09-2010, 05:56 PM

Awesome vid! love the music as well!

wrxgc · 02-09-2010, 06:36 PM

+1 loved the video. reminds me of when my friend used to live on a farm and we'd rig up a snowboard to the back of his gator in the snow. impressive moves, especially the shove it grand finale.
