Who doesn't love the shopping cart look? With the bright golden rims...
nice car, bad detailing, but i guess those people love drwaing attention to themselves... cops especially.

Looks like a nice clean tinting job. The spoiler is a little much for my taste, but it works with the sti. Sweet car overall.

Meh, I am not a big fan of the Sti, just doesn't flow well, styling is somewhat bland, wing is too huge. I really dont like the front wheel flares.
But your car looks nice ;).

that is a very nice clean tint job. i think it'll look better without the wing. thats my personal opinion.

I didn't like the wing at first either and was seriously contemplating a trunk swap, but it grew on me and it acts to balance out the big hood scoop too.

actually, i like the wing. i like the big wing on both the STi and the Evo. the color looks good. and somehow, i can't imagine it without gold rims anymore. hehehe. but the tint job looks good. :)

THANK YOU! :cheers: The wings are actually functional on the EVO and STi. You have to be going over 100mph, but functional nonetheless.

Wing is too SMALL! You need more stickers and stock rims?
J/k :P
Glad to see you enjoy your vehicle. I really miss those days.

Nice but it looks like the front is not tinted. YOu should have the front tinted a little bit.

:stupid: That's what I thought.

I think big wings are associated with stupid ricemobiles, but the wing actaully has a purpose on the STI. The car kindy looks ricey, but it's like the antithesis of rice...everything is functional, and the car is pretty damn fast stock! The big hood scoop is needed cus at high speeds the air would not reach the intercooler. The wing is needed to combat lift, and the rims are forged for rallying. I would rather have silver rims if I had an STI, but blue and gold are the same colors of the badass Subaru WRC car.

He probably did as much as he could legally. Here in Texas I believe it has to be 35% out of the front sidelites by law, but when you get inspected it only has to be 25% (friend is a state inspector). With illegal tint, I just make sure my illegal windows are all the way rolled down when he does pull me over. (metal note to self: you have legal tint)

Good thing that we don't have inspection here in CA because it's illegal to tint the front windows and my front windows are tinted. :D
I just roll down my windows and smile when I see cops. ;)

Unless your a celebrity. Then you are allowed to have all your windows limo tinted except the front windshield.

I'd get pulled over and ticketed in a heart beat if I did that. I just happened to drive on Sunset Blvd. this weekend and cops were already staring me down.

They are tinted a little bit. It was too hot when I had no tint. I took the pics in the late afternoon so the lighting isn't so good. That's good that you couldn't tell. Hope that means that cops can't tell either.

Nope. Insurance and car payments are doing more than enough damage to my check book. Doesn't mean I don't want a STi strut bar, front lip, and a K&N intake.
