Wow, those tail lights are even uglier than I had imagined!! :mad: My own personal opinion of course.

In case anyone feels the need to again, don't-

I've hit the axe button 3 times on this thus far. Keep the discussion mature and on par with the calibre of this board. If need be, this thread will contain only Gerry's post and the two photos and then be locked. Danke ;).

It was just a matter of time...I don't know how I'll react the first time I actually see a WRX on the road with those, I may have to plead temporary insanity :)
Jon [in CT] 11-04-2001 12:21 PM

Well, it looks now like we've busted the bandwidth max at Gerry's photo hosting service.

North Ursalia, it seems that introduction of these APC taillights will necessitate an update to this form from your website:

North Ursalia 11-04-2001 12:31 PM

I'm going to assume that was some kind of vain attempt to discredit me Jon- it was certainly as pathetic as it was vain. If it wasn't well, my bad. I personally don't mind the word, nor it's use- I enforce it the way I do here to keep the board in order- you've been around long enough to see where threads go as soon at it crops up. "Moderator" me is entirely different from the person I am- two roles, two different ways of going about things. Stop pointing out other's faults until you can say you have none of your own please.

I still do not understand the fascination with those..

But I suppose it proves the WRX is more mainstream and now a definate "2NR" car.

as i have stated in the past, I will smash those if I see them on any Imprezas here!!!!:devil:

obviously, I don't like the look of them much...
Onederer 11-04-2001 03:49 PM

OMG...You guys...those things are "fresh" I gots to get me a set!

...uhg....WHAT AM I SAYING?!?!?!?

I need to go jump of a tall building
Austin 11-04-2001 03:53 PM

At least they're the same bling bling theme as those shiny chrome wheels:rolleyes:
Albert 11-04-2001 04:16 PM

No pun... will there be a set in carbon fiber also (black reflector).
Boosted WRX 11-04-2001 04:28 PM

Sweet, where can I buy a set. Hahahaha, just kiddin'. From the topic of the thread, I prepared for the worst and got it. Hopefully APC will file bankrputcy and won't be able to sell those lights anymore. -KEVIN-

JDMScoob 11-05-2001 12:06 AM

Dear god,...........I guess I should have expected that APC would do this, they make those "Altezzas" for just about anything. Ahhhhhhh some people have no taste at all, might as well just slap on some Yo Samety Sam " Back Off!! " mud flaps, goddy chrome fender trim, Tazmanian Devil windsheild sticker and paint one windsheild wiper yellow and stick it in the middle of the windsheild. Oh almost forgot a VTEC or Type R sticker or three.

Whoo....didn't mean to go off there, just had to vent
Gerry 11-05-2001 12:09 AM

Here you go..I really didn't care for it.
[IMG]http://images.imageevent.com/seiz0r/seiz0rfirstalbum/websize/71.jpg[/IMG]
Oh I almost forgot. They also have M3 style side mirrors with blinking indiglo strips. :(. Worst of all it has them Indiglow gas pedals...What's the world comming to?
Austin 11-05-2001 12:16 AM

Yeah Boy!!! Bling Bling Crazy Phat!!!:rolleyes: :lol: :lol:
Vineet Singh 11-05-2001 12:21 AM

Now if only they focused their attention to things that people ACTUALLY WANT, like the STI style headlights (as in the pic above)... THEN they might have something to show off. I don't want to pay someone (TaiChi, resident JDM parts hawker) 1000$ for steeenkin headlights that aren't even HID (I would if they were HID btw).

APC, if you see this, you have my request ;)
topher 11-05-2001 02:25 AM

WOW! that really sucks
In2Deep 11-05-2001 02:56 AM

hmmmm, let's look for the positive in this... :rolleyes: the mirrors are cool :D The rims and brakes look good too. The taol lights are terrible! The color... well it certainly won't get confused with anyone elses ride!
p_ice 11-05-2001 03:15 AM

yeah, the headlights are nice!
HndaTch627 11-05-2001 03:19 AM

the headlights rule...the orange paint will be pefect for deer hunting season. the rims i like bu the rest is making my eyes bleed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't have them on my car, but I don't think they look that bad.

I actually like the paint job. I would get rid of all the stickers, the altezza tails, the neon, the chrome wheels and all the other blingin' stuff though

JGard 11-05-2001 10:43 AM

wow, hideous is the first thing that comes to mind.

but if I see someone with them, it just tells me that's another moron who likes all show no go... but the problem is...it's not very good "show"...though, stock, yeah, it's real good "go".

Danny5 11-05-2001 10:57 AM

And now for something completely different...

I really like it! And I like the whole car, with the exception of the vinyl graphics.

For those of you that don't like it, perhaps this is an incentive to make your car faster so you won't have to look at these tail-lights :lol:

And we can do without puke references or anything like that. I am totally with Brian on locking this thread should it get out of hand.

Have a wonderful Subaru day! :)

SubEd 11-05-2001 11:15 AM

I'm betting/hoping they won't sell a lot of those. We tend to be a little older and a little more mature than the usual "Altezzie enthusiast".

No flames intended!

RS_NW 11-05-2001 11:26 AM

SubEd- I wouldn't even go as far as saying that. Maybe a little less trendy?
Jaxx 11-05-2001 01:04 PM

[SIZE=4]good story!!!![/SIZE]
so i am googleing at the head lights and there is a guy wearing an APC badge standing next to me .. so i ask him "are these your head lights?"

"no they are the JDM HIDs", "oh.."i say.
he asks "have you seen what we have done the the rear of the car"..
i respond "yes they are hidious" ..
he is taken back.. by my statement..
he points out that the red wing-things on the side of the tail lights are just stickers on the inside of the lense to keep people from copying their designs,
then he says "if you have any more ideas send me an e-mail, i am so-an-so the president of APC" and hands me his business card

so floating around in my sema paper junk i have the e-mail address for the president of APC :)

My opinion counts....
 
The taillights are weak. It's been done into the ground. It was a cool idea when they first surfaced a couple of years ago. Personally I don't think any car can get away with them unless they have a white car.

I bet APC told Super Street they were putting them on the car and SS had to agree. The car is meant to sit on the showroom floor. Heck, the thing probably weighs another 400 pounds by now!

I still don't get why people put stickers on their cars or other manufacturer decals. I drink Coke when I drive but you don't see me taping a a 2 liter label to my door do you?:lol: :lol:

Thank you, I'll be here all week, try the veal (Shrek)

Rim & Tire
 
Did anyone get what rim and tire combo is on there?

17/18's ? tire size ? brand?
Vineet Singh 11-05-2001 02:02 PM

PM the email address to me, I want to let him know that I want the JDM style headlights, and so do like 1/3 of the WRX'rs on this board from what it seems :)

I know projector eclipse headlights sold for pretty cheap, so these can't be that hard to duplicate.

Please don't post his address in public though, I'm afraid most of you would dis him to death w/o actually getting anything accomplished, people will buy what they want :). If the rears weren't so chromy and confusing to look at, it might be cool.
In2Deep 11-05-2001 03:37 PM

I just spoke to a vendor on the phone about the JDM-HID's and was quoted a price of [COLOR=red][SIZE=4][b]$2600[/b][/SIZE][/COLOR] :rolleyes: Does anyone know where to get a better price?
Jaxx 11-05-2001 03:46 PM

i am not sure but they don't fit.. the actually extended past the fender rub-a-ramma

edit - tirerack can get the uk 300 hid lights ...
glilly 11-05-2001 05:28 PM

Anyone else have good pics of this car? All I get is the little red x's for the first photos posted. I'm interested to see what they did to the rest of the car!

Damn those taillights!:mad:
Albert 11-05-2001 07:37 PM

Come on guys, I'm 40+ and I would drive it daily if someone gave me that car. The graphics looks good, it complements the car's lines.

Gun metal rims, no stickers, and I'm set.:D
128d 11-05-2001 07:43 PM

In2Deep- Good luck finding a beter price, if you do let me know. :D
Godmal 11-06-2001 01:13 AM

I seriously hope that no one buys those tail lights. Its such a wonderful thing to see another WRX on the road, if I saw one and pulled up only to find those tail lights, well I would have to take their car away fron them. Please, no one waste your hard earned mod money on that crap!
