Many people love how the buyeye looks...I am not one of them. Wasn't too hard to transform it to this. I'm about 80% done. Upon the arrival of a new fender, I get the fun job or aligning everything perfect and get it painted. I'm planning on a bright white(havn't decided it yet) with a flat black center section (kinda like it is now). Well anyhow, enjoy and let me know what you think.

especially when u just bought ice cream and milk and you need to get home for 2 reasons.
1) before it melts
2) so you can make some milkshakes!!!!

Nah only way I would buy a 4 door was if it was in a wagon. To me, it made more sense and havn't regreted it yet.

Anyone have any suggestions for a bright clean white? I'm having a hard time figuring out which white I'm going to paint it with.

Nice work dude. Personally, i like the wagons and the four doors. Keep us updated on this. I say no white. Try a blue?

Well except now the 08+ all the STI's are wagons.

Its gotta be white, I don't know why but I've always had this thing for white ever since my tsi awd so thats how its going to be. I'll check out that champion white see how i like it. The white will help out here though keep the heat down also.

Its gonna stay multicolored for a least another week till my fender gets in and I do the final touches with aligning everything up.

Toyota super white. I checked out bmw alpine white but it was too creamy for me. This worked out pretty well.
