Honda = Had one, will definitely buy one over a Toyota if the opportunity arises.



And ty for the bump, I forgot about this.

Started my exhaust.

Will be having a custom axel-back made to get rid of the muffler, basically just a straight 3" pipe with the stock tip welded on.

 

some kid i know bought an all black perrin exhaust for his black wagon

 

Perrin.

I've never seen such overpriced garbage in my entire life.

 

its just black. noise wise its ok but nothing great. i think he did pay a crazy amount of money for it.

 

Yeah, it's $900 for the cat-back and the fitment sucks.

 

Oh Mi Gawd, it rumbles.

 

I had to check in on here just to see what color you got... wanted to make sure I don't order the same thing.

I'm getting WR Blue. Premium.

 

I don't like blue on the new ones. It's what I originally planned on getting, but after seeing it in person, I just thought 'meh.'

 

Only thing I enjoy from perrin is their header.

 

The one I test drove was blue - as a 2010. I liked it in person a lot more than I did online. I was waffling quite a bit on color... but seeing that one was enough for me.

And I definitely wasn't going to buy silver. I've had silver for 5 yrs... need something different.

 

i like the dark grey/charcoal color

 

6 months later, and I've damn near stuck to my original plan. Just missing the AP, haven't installed the tail overlays, and just need a downpipe which I can't get until I get the AP.

 

^x2

 

That was also on my list. Basically it was between red, blue, and the dark grey.

 

i love the dark grey color.

and tail light tint

 

I've seen two blues in person, one 08 WRX, stock, wanted to slash my eyes out, and one 09 STI with red overlays, which was nice.

I'm still very happy that I took the Red instead of ordering the boring dark gray.

 

Ya, I was just reading through some of your thread here and it reminded me of the awful tails. I've just now been looking up overlays/spray for them. I'll have to get a good look at the shape of the tails to know if I feel comfortable with putting vinyl on them. For me, the tC's tails are next to impossible to apply overlays to.

 

I have had a set of overlays laying around for 4 months, I just haven't felt like taking the car to a shop to have them done. Unless you're a pro at installing vinyl's, they're nearly impossible to do yourself without creasing the film. There is a massive bulge and a dip behind the bulge, making it very hard to stretch, heat, and get it to stick in the perfect place all at the same time.

 

Sounds awesome. Likely worse than the tC.

I saw a thread on NASIOC about some guy using some transparent red Krylon from a craft store. Seemed like he just rushed through it (don't think he sanded anything at all) but apparently the results were good.

Of course I can't see ANY of the ____ing pictures because all of that ____ is blocked at work. So I'll have to look again later.

 

Vinyl overlay >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Painting

The vinyl lasts much longer, you don't need to remove the tails to apply the vinyl, there is zero chance in ____ing up the tail lights with vinyls, and the outcome is the exact same.
