Took about 4 hours all up, paint prep, painting and dry time took up most of it though. I put plenty of coats on so hopefully it sticks!!

The foglights fell through, the guy broke them when he tried to take them off his car. Might have to be a sheep and do the foglight covers after all

He went all Jeremy Clarkson on them... "where is my hammer?"

Yeah, follow the flock or do what some of our US friends do and remove them and use one for a CAI... but the cover option seems a lot less tacky.

The factory fog lights look out of place without the chrome surround of the head lights.

Silver is a pretty amazing colour its easy to clean, keep clean, paint, match colours, etc...

But you colour is pretty exclusive... only seen 2 (not yours) with this colour.

Ryan, you can order genuine foglight covers in any subaru colour you want from Subaru. I thought they only came in STI colours, but I was told by someone at Subaru OP in the Part Dept when I was pricing up some for Steph for her peanut, that I could actually order them in red. Comes to about $288 incl fittings IIRC, and that would be painted in your colour, as I was getting them for that price in san remo red (which is not an STI colour) Was a 4 week wait though, from Japland
tris7an and Dan [GTI] like this.

Was not aware of that Kym, thanks! I need some scratches respraying on my bonnet and rear left passenger door so was just going to wait until then. Still want the usdm foggies, but not keen on stuffing around too much with sourcing one. Will keep an eye out on NASIOC.
