Black painted grille would look sick!!!! What offset, size are those 22s?? Can u post up a front and/or rear shot...would like to see how far out the wheels stick out.

 

Here is our twin-babies carrier
I have to confess - before we got this R/T, I thought I will absolutely hate this car, as I am more used to much smaller, lighter and faster "sporty" cars (before 'D' we had two Subaru STI's - one for me, and one for my wife). We replaced one STI with this R/T, and I have to admit, that I really enjoy driving it! It is for sure not an STI, but nonetheless - it is a fun to drive car





And this is what I had to get rid of to buy 'D':

 

What year, how many miles and what $$ did you get out of the STI?

IndyD

 

It was 2008 STI, with about 31,000 miles. I was leasing it, so, just found somebody to transfer the leftover of lease (12 months).

 

Been wanting an STI since the bug eye'd one came out. Almost a decade later I'm still waiting. Been getting by with no payments but when our family car started having probs, we got the Durango. Awesome family car but I'm still waiting to get my STI Hatch! R/T D provides the sporty-ness that I'm looking for with all the room for the kids and Mommy

 

2011 Crew with almost all the extras. not a fan of chrome on vehicles. thinking about plasti-dipping the chrome stuff.

 

Although the Plasti Dip will work- It will not last. Take the time to have the items painted correctly. I have seen this Plasti Dip process done on many of my Corvette customers and it looks cheap up close. You have a very nice looking 35k plus vehicle why spend 10.00 or so on Plasti Dip? Its not to expensive to have the pieces painted to match and will look so much better in the end and you will be much happier. Worst case if you dont want to pay someone to do the paint work. Check out www.paintscratch.com you can order the paint code for your car and do it yourself and will still look better than Plasti Dip.

 

i dont mind painting the grill trim, i'd actually prefer to paint it.
but the chrome strips on the lower fascia, side skirts, and luggage racks are all set in the flat black plastic. although, as i'm typing this out, i should just paint those, too.
now to just learn to paint.

 

Working on customizing it...will put new pics this saturday after I get new grille installed.
