I like the way you've made this car your own. I personally am not so ambitious, but you've definitely shown that a Subaru can become whatever you want it to be. I now see that I might find a wreaked OB one day and save the bits you've oranged. These might become my ivory bits, or may be made up as interior hard maple bits. I love me some bit of woodcraft in my life and cars.

Keep inspiring.

soooo what you think lol

eBay has some interesting adhesive backed stuff for your silver bits. Some are even the light wood tone stuff I think might look nice. I still think it might be best to get some junkyard bits to tinker with before committing to changing the stuff. Subaru buyers of my car, some day far ahead in time, seem a bit traditional in their tastes. Offering the stock and the custom bits just seems a nice way to have fun at less cost. Best wishes!

Now for a lighter set of wheels... The unsprung weight in those alloy wheels just seems as if I'm losing power to getting that slab-mass rotating!

The silver interior bits

Do the silver bits pull off easily or are they glued onto the panels? I really enjoy wood working and the thought of some nice grain in the interior seems appealing. Overall, I appreciate this thread's support for making your Subaru, YOUR Subaru.

I never asked, but if the OB is the dark blue, that orange is a great statement for all UofI alumni, Bears fans, etc. This is some nice way to make the car your own...
