shefledthescene's 2006 wrx TR

[shefledthescene]

my journey began back on september 19th, 2006. i had pre-ordered my 06 tornado red GTI and it came in for delivery that day. i headed out to the volkswagen dealership and when i got there- something just didnt feel right. what was i thinking? this wasnt the car i wanted! literally right next door to the VW dealership was (at the time) Bob Dance Subaru. I walked over there and made the spur of the moment decision that i wanted a WRX. now, my brother had a fully built bugeye back in 2002 and my mom also had an 06 wrx for a short period of time so i was no stranger to subaru's at all. i fell in love with the boxer rumble at the tender age of 12 :lol: at 9:00pm on a rainy tuesday night - i test drove the wrx & fell in love all over again. a half hour later i was driving home my brand new world rally blue wrx with 9 miles on the ODO. :)

- Custom subiesport front plate delete
- Mirrors painted WR Blue to match the body
- Blobeye Taillights

crappy picture at the track. this was my first time drag racing EVER. time was pretty bad but i think everything else was decent, especially since i didnt launch.
best time: 14.535
best 60': 2.129
best r/t: .069
best MPH: 95.25

[kristinachelsea]

Hey! I've seen you around nasioc. :)

Love your car, I'm a sucker for blue and gold.

[shefledthescene]

thanks :)

blue and gold is so overplayed but i cant seem to get away from it :lol:

i thought about going with black or gunmetal for a while but cant bring myself to do it.

[Lperkins88]

nice pics of the subie!

[xxthat girlxx]

Nice pics AND story! I'm sure VW was not happy to lose the sale!

[shefledthescene]

they were pretty pissed but oh well. :lol:

i wasnt about to drop $23000 on something i wasnt sure about!

[WhtRexGrl]

We run prosport..nothing but good things to say about them!

[shefledthescene]

[xxthat girlxx]

I have a couple of prosports that have been sitting in my bedroom for uhhh... 1.5ish years now? :lol:

[shefledthescene]

haha you should probably wipe the dust off of them & get those babies installed

[xxthat girlxx]

I know. So little time. :lol:

[shefledthescene]

before:

after:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/xxcrazydiamond/006.jpg
crappy pic but you get the idea :]

[TrunkMonkey24]

wow, yes, those look much better!

[xxthat girlxx]

I wouldn't put much thought to the lugs either. New ones looks good.

[Sugarpie]

That does look great. :)

[shefledthescene]

wow i havent updated this since december. that's sad lol

anyway, here is my totally pointless supertone write up :)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/xxcrazydiamond/002-2.jpg
red = no no. my car is blue with gold accents [well, except my hello kitty bow :tongue:] so red was not going to work.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/xxcrazydiamond/003-2.jpg
ah! much better.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/xxcrazydiamond/010-1.jpg
complete!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/xxcrazydiamond/009-2.jpg
perhaps i should make supertone hairbows? yes? yes.



the next step of course is to get your fiance to model your new supertones.

step 1: take your grill out.

step 2: sit back and watch your dad do all the wiring since you have no idea what you're doing.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/xxcrazydiamond/005.jpg
step 3: right 'tone hooked up

[shefledthescene]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/xxcrazydiamond/006-2.jpg
step 4: left 'tone hooked up

step 5: test the horns to make sure they work & almost cause your father to go deaf.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/xxcrazydiamond/008.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v126/xxcrazydiamond/009-1.jpg
step 6: put everything back together.


the end!

[Sugarpie]

Woo hoo for sexy TRs! Love the gold hellas. :D

[Sugarpie]

Desireé, is that the grimspeed gold? How do you like how they show up behind the grilles? Mine seem to far back and its bugging me. :( But then again, my car is so dark.

[shefledthescene]

thanks :)

http://www.autozone.com/autozone/accessories/Dupli-Color-8-oz-sunburst-gold-metallic-Perfect-Match-paint?itemIdentifier=59674

this is the stuff i got. it's sunburst gold metallic and it's Ford OEM match up paint.

in the pictures the horns look really close to the grill but in person they are set kind of far back. to the point where they dont really stand out that much

[Sugarpie]

Okay so yours is sort of like mine. I used GM gold. Lol. They look good though. :D Great job. :D

[PinkTWRX]

Omg your pics made me :lol: Nick was on the phone with his mom and looking at me funny.

Btw supertone hairbows. Cute but heavy lol.
