Thanks man, I'm glad you like it. The exhaust plus the muffler only cost $120 but the stainless tip set me back $80!

On a different note, I was driving home today and started seriously thinking about how Im going to make my silver cladding black...... and my rims also black....... hmmm......... I might be the first yellow Baja with black lower cladding.........
One of my friends a few years ago got some rim paint and he painted his rims gunmetal black. I never saw the can so I don't know what kind it was. You may be able to find something on the internet. As for the lower cladding, I think it would look really good on a yellow Baja. I don't know if you do much body work or how you want to go about doing it but I would imagine it would cost a few hundred dollars to have it done if you just take the cladding off and give it to them and say "paint this black" then put it back on yourself. Good luck on that I hope you find a solution!

Yes. I didn't really realize it was pre-wired for the kits so that was quite a relief. I was however grateful that you showed you can take off the upper brake light assembly without taking apart the whole bed. That saved me a lot of time.

Glad you like it
In the semi-near future I hope to get that skidplate and pushbar we were talking about and the subaru rally logo on the sides done in silver. In the far future I'll try and get some new rims and some tires with more aggressive tread. I had just bought new tires just a few months ago so in another couple years it'll be time to get some more.
I figure that I am going to be the last owner of this vehicle. The Baja is the type of vehicle that you keep for as long as you can. Not just because it's a wonderful machine, but because its unique and there just isn't anything you can compare to it. That why I wanted one so bad. I figure if I'm gonna keep it for so long, I'm going to modify it to my liking. After another few years, I'll get a new WRX (sti hopefully) and have a car and a work/play truck! Then I'll be set. Well that's the plan anyway lol.
