I'm taking suggestions as to what to do about paint schemes. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks for any input.

I would definitely stick with arctic silver to match the car and tint the rear and side windows dark to minimize the funky shape of the rear quarter windows + light smoke on the tail lights.

i would also suggest painting it to match, along with the hood. and get some street wheels, although those are light, they look goofy on the car, but do the purpose at the track, unless you are at the track every day. i dunno, they look like they belong on a subaru.

btw, can that logo be removed from the trunk?

Hey, I almost put a Subie engine in the beast when the first engine went Tango Uniform.

The logo is part of the deck lid; it won't come off.

Arctic silver top and hood is my vote. The tinting of the side windows sounds good. Hope you can get a your cage modified to fit. Those hips look nice.

Info on Zeintop - setting the record straight

To resolve some market confusion relating to the Zeintops trickling into the US. The top currently fitted to Bruinbro's car is a one off pre production unit which , although structurally sound, has not had the attention to detail spent on finishing as the actual production line tops. Your comments on its look are pleasing.

For most units leaving the factory the badges are left off but still shipped. This is now an option. Secondly, much debate has circulated regarding fitment of the Zeintop. The soft top need NOT be removed, simply set to the "down" position. The soft top cover(clamshell) and rear decklid are removed. The wiring loom fitment for the brake light is a one off. Removal of the top takes less than 5 minutes. Subsequent fitments take less than 10 minutes.

I will not comment on costs here as that is not the purpose of this posting save to say that it is advisable to contact the agents for answers rather than speculate on technical aspects. Find the US agents for Zeintec with a simple Google search. The US dealer is based in LA, CA.

Thank you for a great forum. Keep up the good work. Greetings from sunny South Africa.

Wow that looks great first one I've seen.. aside from the car show pics..


Just paint it same color... might look better with different wheels, but you said you need the volks though, but it looks great..

Sup bro, looks great! Color scheme, personally I like the clean look and would just go all body color... all arctic silver would look good.

I would do all one color as well, unless it will be a track only car, then leave it black and paint stripes in silver.
