Not a huge fan, personally. The 97 models had that part painted black from factory so you've kinda taken a step backwards..!

Well being plasti dip if i get sick of it i can just peel it off.

DId they? Never seen one

Interesting. The wagon i got the skirts had a lip thing.

That's an early (93-96?) JDM Legacy by the looks of it?

The grille and front bar are early style GT items. They had single piece headlights though - I'd say the projectors were fitted later.

Thats not the actual one but its identical. The VIN on the donor said it was a BG9 which i would have thought to be a later model?

[Morgan]

B = Liberty
G = wagon
9 = 2.5

Don't think it matters what year - they're all the same code.

[Barbbachello]

Ah so thats how that works. Im sure ill end up back there for more parts so ill have a look at the build date

While getting out of my car a mate forgot that the skirts added width and kicked off/stepped off one of my side skirts, while in the middle of the city ಠ_ಠ. So im looking for a more permanent solution to attach them other than tape or getting new friends for that matter

Black skirts tie in with black side strips. It works.

I thought so too. One of my mates suggested black wheels as well. That im not 100% sure on though

Had a bit of a project going for the last couple of days. Bought a nexus 7 tablet and have mounted it in my car

Pulled my head unit out and put it in the glove box, had to remove the lid/roof thing in there to feed the wires through

Looking good mate. There is a few of these sorts of installs kicking around now. Might have to give it a go soon.

[Barbbachello]

The way i see you pay 200 - 300 for a tablet that can do maps, music, videos, internet, apps. You pay 800+ for a decent head unit that can do maps. Pretty simple choice imo.

Its a bit more involved seeing as i need to cut up the dash a bit but its cooler haha

[Adam]

yeah, pretty sure I wanna do the nexus now!

Pioneer have a thingy called an App radio 2 which is pretty neat looking unit. Plays apps, maps, videos & music and other cool stuff from the phone. Youtube it. That could be an option. About $300-$400 from the states.

Looks good.

Piece of shit.

Sorry, just saw it was a second gen app radio, seems better than the first one

I did look into that. Only half works with android :\

[simon]

You can make it work with android. Just a couple of little tweaks.

A few things to consider with the nexus I have found since installing mine a little while ago:
The battery in mine gets drained every 4-5 days since the current supplied by the car is so pathetic. This is the major issue I have with it. Otherwise, I have a weird alternator whine that a ground loop isolator doesn't seem to fix if I'm playing via aux. My in-line volume knob (a jaycar rca bass controller) is less than ideal, and useless if I play music over bluetooth to avoid the alternator whine. The display can be a bit hard to read if the sun is shining on it. I'm seriously considering ditching the whole setup for a double din HU haha
