My company car on cardomain

This is my company car, we built it to take to shows and advertise my website. Please dont laugh at the color, its painted the way it is for 2 reasons, 1. to attract attention, and 2, because bridgestone donated the car and thats the color they wanted.
We tried to build it utilizing parts that we stock but had to go outside for some of the parts. Im hoping to go wild with my 8 like this cept with better color paintjob and all high end components.
Let me know what you think

not bad, but why would you take a wrx and only make it for show? you could have really made it a showcase by going function first and then pretty it up around the go fast goodies. Still not bad though, if it was built to attract attention then it came out pretty good as far as that goes.

it has a few go fast goodies, turboxs turbo back exhaust, different wastgate, and some dyno tuning behind it... we upgraded the ignition and upped the fuel pressure

abbid, you should have it in your driveway in a week or two..........

actually, for those going to SEMA the car should be there all next week...

if you all are ever in Lexington, stop by and see it... it will also be at a few HIN shows next year and you may even see it at your local tire store for a few days.. part of the deal with Bstone was that it goes to some stores to help them debut the new fuzion tires.

Looks like good work... The tire tread on the hood is cool!

It needs some carbon fiber though.

Well you told me not to laugh at the colour, so I won't. But, otherwise looks good. When you go wild with the 8 don't use those colours.

I will give the paint job this though, it kinda makes the car look less boxy

very nice. I hate ricers. Although that may not be considered a ricer. I really do like it.

at first it sounded more show than go, my bad for making that assumption, since I drive yellow I will never complain about someone else's paint (personally I'm waiting for someone to do a flat black 8, maybe with some street rod touches like pinstriping...i think if that was done right it would be awesome)
