Think outside the box a little.. Go with a copper or deep gold. I'm pretty sure you can get those colors in plastidip, or just have them powder coated.

+1!! Lol!! Yea I'm getting real sick of looking at the stock suspension. That's definitely near the top of my list for my next mod.

Gloss black is actually what I'm leaning towards right now. I already have the Glosssifier and I think it will go better with the carbon fiber parts than the matte finish. I think I'll give that a shot next and if I don't like it I'll try something else.

I thought about doing a gold color but I can't help but think that it will make it look like a Subaru. I thought about doing something crazy like a lime green too

Eh... Thanks but no thanks I wish I had the money for aftermarket wheels but now is not the time. I like the direction she's going in but it's definitely a work in progress and I'm no where near finished

Well I decided to go with the 2nd most popular choice and make them glossy. It was kind of an easy choice since I already had the glossifier and I have to say I'm very happy with how they turned out I like it much better than the flat black. It's probably hard to tell in the pics, but in person, I just felt like the flat didn't look quite right. I think the glossifier helps them to stand out a little more without being too glossy. I also added a little something special with the custom Enkei stickers I love the way they turned out!! Thanks everyone for your input!!

eh, not a fan of the black or the white wheels but do agree that white would stand out more on BBY but would require more cleaning if you went that route. the glossy looks better than matte in my eyes but I voted for Gunmetal Grey

next up, redo the calipers!!

Yeah I really want to redo the calipers now. I'm also keeping my eyes open for a good deal on a set of used struts and lowering springs. Winter is coming though so I'm going to be patient and wait for the right deal to come along since they probably wouldn't go on until next spring anyway.
