you're not allowed to drink white beers

Now that's a reason for borderline suicide.

No fucking shit, eh?

[Ben Carufel]

Listen towelhead, I don't see your people making good beer. I sure as hell ain't drinking camel piss.

Now that's a reason for borderline suicide.

Please define "borderline suicide".

Pics as promised. These were taken at 7:30 this morning in a big, big hurry before I left for work.





I'll have to get better ones later. I think it needs more tint, less pinstripe and plastic bumpers. Oh, and mud flaps. :)

[TerribleONE]

plastic bumpers, tint, smoked heads/tails, euro plate filler, shadowline. :)

[Ben Carufel]

plastic bumpers, tint, smoked heads/tails, euro plate filler, shadowline. :)

Bumpers: Yes.
Tint: Yes.
Smoked Lights: Hell no.
Euro Plate Filler: Maybe.
Shadowline: Maybe.

[Ben Carufel]

First, though:

New transmission seals.
iS front lip.
Wheel emblems.
Front and rear roundels.
New shift knob and boot.
Skidplate!
Oh, and DE-PINSTRIPING!

[TerribleONE]

Bumpers: Yes.
Shadowline: Maybe.

maybe?! that trim is blinding me eyes! once those ugo bumpers are gone there will be nothing for the trim to match.. shadowline: DEFINATELY.

^^what trunk spoiler is that^^ i dont like it.

[FredK]

First, though:

Double stacked i front lip.
Faux carbon fiber roundel wheel emblems.
Faux carbon fiber front and rear roundels.
Momo faux carbon fiber anatomic shift knob and yellow leather shift boot
TRIBAL PATTERN PINSTRIPING! :pimp:

:crazy:

The car looks pretty clean, and you definitely got a great price. Even the front valance is in good condition.

Thanks for the plastic bumper motivation, they really do look sooooo much better. I've been having dreams about this car, it's taking over my life. Right now I've got a little box containing a new shift boot, and two trans. seals sitting on my desk. Unfortunately I'm several states away and it'll be awhile before I can install 'em.

Do any of you iX experts (iXperts?) have any opinions on Redline fluids for these cars? I was thinking of using 'em in the tranny and diff. It's what I use in my WRX and it helped shift quality IMMENSELY. What do you think?
