Default new stuffff for my benz buildup =)

as some may know, i sold my green wrx about a month ago to a guy in MN.




miss it, blah blah blah. but i moved on.

i wanted something differnet. something that nobody would want to fix up. something you see everyday but dont think twice about. but at the same time its classy and practical. a lot of different factors went into why i got what i did, but thats not the discussion.

got my wald kit in today. its EXTREMELY hard to get a hold of this kit bc the mold was destroyed back in november. i beleive there are 2 in america (from what wald japan told us). one in so cal and the other is unknown. took me a long time to source the kit but we found the LAST one in the world hiding at wald japan.

thanks to sander @ the wheel supply for helping me source it. it cost me a **** load (a little more than half of what i paid for the car.. eek) but i think itll all be worth it in the end.

funny thing is, i dont even have the car yet. should be at my house tomorrow though (shipped from florida)
the car will go into paint for a full paint job + custom body work in a few weeks. so these pix will do for now.

ill stfu. pix:













and there's not even a replica for the cheap ****** knockoff fanboys to get a hold of.

w00t for rare hotness.!

UPDATEEEE

got the car 4/29
