Default Foxy 3 Facelift

Well, I've done a bit of "modifying" to my Fozzie (my 04 Subaru Forester XT..........that means "turbo", note the fully-functional hood scoop ). I've always wanted a car that had a rugged "rally car" look to it. Well, so far I've been busy making my Fozzie into just that.....

A list of the recent mods I've done so far........

- Red Powder-coated brake calipers
- HID H4 (motorized bulbs) Headlamp Retrofit
- HID H3 Fog Lamp Retrofit
- STI Sway Bar Swap
- Rola Roof Basket
- Roof-Mounted Driving Lamps
- Factory OEM Rear Spoiler

Future modifications are on their way.....and some not even thought of yet.

Here's some of the latest pics........

My 06 LGT approves of this thread[8D]

Edit: I'm thinking about doing the running light thing on the bottom of my headlights as well. I've got a spare sitting in a closet, one of these days I'm gonna take it apart and see if I like how it turns out. I'd like to hook it up with the running light, but I dunno how weird it would look with the orange so close. Looks decent on yours since there's good separation, but I dunno...

Nice Blue, looks great. Haven't seen you on in awhile, or OT at least. That headlight mod looks sick

Yeah, I've been so busy lately trying to get all my s**t together lately. But, the Holidays are over, so I should now be a regular again, lol.

And thanks. The Headlamp mod did turn out as good as I hoped.......here's a better pic......

Looks good.

are you going to put more aggressive tires on there? (maybe a bit bigger as well) That always give a vehicle more off road/rally look, (and more off road function as well, which is good if you actually do go off road)

She is looking good Foxy. I really like the roof racks, as they really extend the car's usefullness while looking good. I kind of thought you may be busy with the car because you haven't been around a whole lot.

Although I do like Subarus with forced air induction, I am still a Toyota guy. I am going to have to side with Hatebreed about the Toyota Trucks.
