Riding the used market like a shark, nice.

Alrighty. I'm not going to be able to put the seats in for a while, so don't feel rushed. Thanks so much for doing that.

No problem man, no problem at all.

Just give me an idea of either when you think you'll be ready for them or will be able to pick them up and I'll make sure I have them off the seats waiting.

So I have $250, got rid of my 05 STi Seats which had many stains on them from the previous owner, and Now I have excellent condition 2010 STi Seats.

These seats seem to have more bolster. I also love how there is Leather and the Suede materials instead of just the Suede and other non leather fabric that were on the 05's. Also these ones have pockets for magazines and what not on the back of them. Im going to have to change out the rails and airbags, but it should be well worth it.

Damn weren't those like 800 on nasioc? damn i want those :D

Ya. The guy was asking $450 on Craigslist, but I talked him down. He had a 2003 WRX, so these seats didn't fit. He had really cool Subaru OEM JDM wheels.

I really like the look of your wheels! I think I'm going to have to try that on mine.

Hey thanks. The plastidip kept peeling off right away, so soon Im going to sand just the top part where I want it to be black and use real paint.

Matt, · 12-05-2012, 07:29 PM

That's weird, I haven't had a single issue with my plasti dipped wheels. I did do pretty think coats though.

AlkiSubaru · 12-05-2012, 07:34 PM

Well i think its because the plastidip just stops in the middle of the wheel. I have used plastidip to plastidip my friends wheels black and its perfectly fine. I think it has something to do with using tape to mask off certain areas, or maybe its just me.

I do like how they look though, and you should totally go for it with plastidip if you want. Just fair warning of the troubles I was having.

hueyduey · 12-05-2012, 09:30 PM

I want those seats! For a teenager I give you props for spending the cash on some of these mods. I know going through college I barely had the funds to do maintenance nonetheless do mods.

I found it hard to mask plastidip. It adheres to masking tape a lot more than regular spray paints. It's difficult to get a nice sharp edge.

Hey thanks so much.

And ya, I was basically trying to say this:
