Holy Batman! That thing looks very very sweet! Clean ride and nice taste! I agree with JD-TLS, can we get more pics please! LOL! The backdrop thou, really sets off the aggressive theme of the car with the rain and gloominess. Great job!

My "angel eyes" are wired as my low beams. So that means when I turn to the section between "Auto" and "Off", that's where my angel eyes come on. I'm not sure how to wire them as DRL's, I was wondering if anyone knows? Cuz I wanted to try to get them to come on when it's bright and set in "Auto" mode for the headlights.
And I think powdercoated TL-S wheels with red would look sick! Red cars always goes nice with black wheels.

You car looks great. Very sporty, mean, and aggressive. Nicely done!
I'm personally not a fan of the TL-S rims in the stock finish, but what you've done with them definitely adds a nice look. Who says "you can't polish a turd."? Hahaha, no but seriously, you made those wheels look good, when I normally think they're gross.
I would love to see some larger front end pics.

The LGT doesn't come from Subaru with halos so you got them aftermarket? From which company? Umnitza? We have been discussing angeleyes on other threads and we need some questions answered; What happens to be the exact size of the low beam bezel? (The diameter of the inner part of the ring.) Nobody has been able to answer the question definitively. (We are pretty close to an answer, we have our buddy at Retrofit-source working on this) I am so far guesstimating 90mm. The headlights are of course different, but I don't know if there is a size difference between the the headlight ring for the 04-06 vs. the Type-S.
There is a DIY thread for Designtech DRLs that many of us have installed. Easy to install, I highly recommend it! I'm going to wire my angeleyes to my parking lights so the life of the rings will last as long as the car. I wouldn't want to open those headlights again to replace a dead set.

And as for the LGT aftermarket halo's, I got them off my friend. He drives an LGT Wagon, he was gonna install em' on his, but he changed his mind. I couldn't find any aftermarket ones for the TL-S either. And I want to, cuz I don't wanna use a set that isn't for the right car.

Way to represent NBP!! Love that darkside look on the pic with the smoke!

appreciate the link but you really need to calm down
i highly doubt every single person read the rules and DIYs before asking about the angel eyes. it's just one question, and you just answered it for me, now we have two places where people can get an answer on how to make the floating A grille (here and in the DIY section), now wouldn't you say that's going to help more people?

You just don't know what's up with me is why you looking at it like that...but the reason I highlighted that is becuz of the same problems that Trancemission has with the picture threads...people read the rules, or skim thru them, and then start asking a bunch of questions or making comments. But if you read the rules, I mean READ the rules, you know that you don't do that in the same thread you looking in becuz it will eventually clog it up. Sooo, we made a new thread so people can quickly see what the "product" is, and then go to the other one to discuss it. Ya feel me? We down for the same cause man, on the same side playa...so relax...I ain't mad atcha!

No I did not photoshop them on cuz I'm a shitty PS-er. I tried to ps a front lip on but it looked retarded. Hahaaha.
I'm waiting for a day to take pics, man. Everytime I have the time to take some pics, it's already dark out. I'll get some pics before I leave for vacation.
