Got and Estimate today for repairs..

[LiL Shoaf]

Went to the shop that I plan to take Phobos to for repairs.. What did he say.. Visual Damage comes to 3100. Not that bad but still. My poor baby...

At least you don't have to pay for it and you weren't at fault.

Dang thats crappy Ken. Good thing is its all cometic and no one was hurt.

Well, the Insurance Inspector came to my office and took a look at the WRX..

It looked like the quater was pushed out a little bit where it meets up with the bumper cover directly behind the rear wheel but the guy at the place I got the estimate from didn't think it was.. Well, when I told the insureance guy this he opened the trunk and lifted the carpet.. What did he find? My trunk floor is kinked.. So the Quater is pushed out.. This upped my total to 3700..

But here is the kicker.. I'm going to buy a new deck lid, bumper beam and bumper cover.. I'm leaving the banged up EVOII on there and using the rest of the money to repaint the car a different color.. I should also have enought left over for some other things that I'm planning..


Here is the color.. .. Titanium Grey Metalic, however with more flake.. I'm also tossing around the idea of super sport stripes of some kind in black.. If any one wants to feed me some ideas I'm open...

Personally I'm not big on the SS style stripes on turbo cars. Its your ride though. We were just talking about this, there's that company out here in CAli theat took like 25 STis and painted them red with white SS stripes and how that belonged on muscle cars. Maybe see if you can find that thread and see what you think. Maybe something on the side, multiple, thin pinstripes might look good. Black on that color choice will look good, black rims, mmm, sounds nice. Sorry your baby got hit.

Edit: Found link to SS stripes to give you an idea.

I always was thinking something a-symmetric but clean from hood to trunk in a black stripe on the passenger side would work well for these cars. Something clear of the hood scoop. Probably two one-inch stripes seperated by a half an inch. Something between the scoop and the edge of the grille. Too bad the exhaust is driver side...

EDIT: No no, make the stripe closer to the scoop only a 1/2 inch and leave the far stripe at 1 inch. MMMMM

EDIT2: and on the very meat of the back bumper have a black subaru logo with a little space for it from the lines. Very subtle

[stagger_lee]

I agree mosc, definitely something with no symmetry.

We all know my vote.

Plum purple with silver flames?

You know... CLEAN.

[newtothegame]

Glad you are getting things sorted out Ken.

Dang Mosc nice idea(s).

[LiL Shoaf]

Just spent some time looking for parts and found some things..
I didn't find the parts I need, but I did find an RS solid Hood to keep the sleeper look. I'm still thinking on that one as well...

[mosc]

RS hood is steel instead of aluminum. Will cost you about 25 lbs to switch

[wrxman420]

Here's a carbon fiber RS hood that fits bugeyes. You could paint over it if you would like the sleeper look.
