people don't realize the amount of work that went into them. That's the problem with labor intensive stuff like those LED lights.

I think those LED tail lights are BADASS and if I hadn't spent SO much money lately on my 8, I might be taking them off your hands. I think you'll have better luck selling to the masses with stuff like the auto on / off, the footwell lights, LED clear corners, etc etc. Things that you can make quicker....

I also would pick up the tail lights, but with the move and everything else I just can't afford it right now

You have time to drive all the way BACK to the car wash but don't have time to take a quick hose to the front of the car?

The car wash is less than a minute from my house. I already rinsed off the front, since I had to go through the stupid car wash 3 times.

I don't have time to do a complete wash on it myself right now, because I'd wind up spending 5-6 hours washing the outside and the rims and the inside, and you guys would never even know She needs to be waxed, badly.

Not as soft as suby's. You can **** up a wrx's paint by spraying it too hard with the hose. Now that is sorry

Yeah when I was car shopping I remember doing some research on the WRX forum and the guys were complaining about how easy it is to scratch the paint.

I've actually never had any problems with the mechanical car washes, until this time. No problems with the paint or anything.. weird.

geez, what kind of a noob drives that thing?! GOSH!!! If he were registered to this forum, he'd know he can get that replaced for FREE at a dealership.

I'm glad we don't have knuckleheads like that around here....

hmm... that's a carbon fiber trunk right? i don't see anything wrong with the tail light- it just looks hazy cuz of the bad photo, no? maybe the parking to the left is to avoid door dings? i see a "baby on board" sign or something along those lines...
