When it’s ready I’d like to tag along in the wrx sometime for a grand tour of some proper Vermont driving roads. The best I’ve found is rt 100, but any spirited driving tends to endanger the mass amounts of Lance Armstrong wannabe’s that frequent it. I know there’s some good one’s out there but I haven’t found them in my travels.

Car looks great by the way, and you seem like the “if it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right” type, so I’m excited to see where this goes.

It seems I will have to relocate tabs no matter what I do so I may just go with an aggressive set of wheels. I’m really diggin’ the CE28N’s in 17X10 +45, they have a concave face and a big lip…curves and big lips, mmmmmm :ninja

Thanks man, I’m not a fan of replica wheels/parts.

Route 100 is good but it gets rough and bumpy as shit near Mad River. Check out The Appalachian Gap (Route 17), Lincoln Gap, Route 125 between East Middlebury and Hancock, and the Brandon Gap (Route 73) between Brandon and Rochester for some fun driving.

Here is a vid that starts with the App Gap at the top and they ride down one side, plenty of hair pin turns:

While Jim and Dan were shooting aero93s cars the other night I spent some time on Jim’s paint. Overall the cars paint was very clean especially for being 10 years old, however there was some room for improvement.

some before pictures of the car, showing some fine swirl marks.

Thanks man! I am quite impressed still with Daves work.

I ordered my OEM Honda Front Chin Spoiler from my good friend who works at the local Honda dealer yesterday (Friday) and picked it up this morning. I had the OEM under spoiler kit on my 2001 Honda Civic when I bought it new in 2001 and I’ve always liked the way the Honda kits fit and look, very simple but they fit correctly and come painted in the factory color.

Just got done throwing it on, a quick 30 minute install.
