Default Made a great trade

My car broke down last night. So it got towed to the shop by the owner. Turned out ot be a really cool guy who also does great body work. So I have really been wanting to put my car back to stock for awhile now. Or close to it.

Turns out one of the guys at the shop wants all my stuff and is willing to put stock parts back on and they are gonna paint the car in exchange for the parts which I don't want. So I will have a stock body again and it won't cost me a thing.



I still have to get the rear fenders fixed but after that I will have a really nice subaru silver ride that won't be a cop magnet.

HAHA glad you guys like it. Yeah no body kits or spoilers anymore. Doesn't do **** except make cops look at me so it has to go.

I just want something that is fun to drive and doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. I am putting on the thin side molding and spoon mirrors but that's it. Interior is 95% stock. Suspension and motor are modded to the max. Just the way it should be.

good choices if so

Those are my winter rims. But I like em. Nothing but 5 spokes and panasports for me. They are light and save on gas. Hmmm how could someone not like a classic 5 spoke wheel. Weird???

I have seen FAR worse "before" shots, but like everyone else I think it will look much better after good work on finding what sounds to be a good trade!
