Trunk Swap!!!!
�

Well, I took the plunge. I'm very close to finishing the exterior of the car now, I may go for EDM STi headlights, and a BBK if I come into a ton of cash. Anyway, thanks to Garret at World One Performance for the trunk and help with the swap. I would have never went for the swap if he hadn't given me a sweet deal on it. He's the BEST!!! We didn't end up swapping torsion bars because it was FREEZING OUT. Hope you guys like the result, and yes I will debadge :) For now Garret gets free advertising though ;)

I love the way it looks except for the morettes:( You plan on getting STi lights?:banana:

I sure do, I'd have them already if they weren't 900 bucks vs the 500 it took for me to get the Morettes.
When the car was rebuilt, the stock headlights would have cost ~300 each at the time :eek: I got a great deal on some lights from Rally Performance for like 480 plus shipping and the body shop rolled the paint in with the front end labor. I don't regret it though, not one bit.

I can live with the morettes. It will definitely look better w/ the STi headlights, though.....

Write me a check for $900 and I'll make it happen! :D

From a buddy in Japan for a very reasonable price with tires. PM D.A.R.E. for details, he is in Georgia right now if memory serves me correctly so it might take a couple of days for him to respond to you.

Hey I think its time to work your cousin over for the cash he owes you! :devil: did he ever pay up? by the way the ride looks nice.

No, he still owes me:furious: You're so right.

Thanks for the compliment.

Did you remember to swap keyholes? :D :D

What kind of mudflaps are those? Good looking ride!

Yeah, we swapped keyholes. Funny though, this was the toughest part of the swap, that little retaining clip is straight from the inner circle of hell.

the flaps are Prodrive flaps from England. Thanks for the compliments.

Thanks, I'm quite happy with them for OEM rims. Now if I could just scrape up enough for Prodrive GC-06s :devil:

Thanks, I can't wait for it to warm up a little bit so I can work on debadging the trunk. Too bad RE040s blow chunks in the snow :( I would have liked to run those wheels year round, then a BBK wouldn't be such a difficult decision.
