    Another HID question. Super newb here.

    It's not a quick procedure, but it does work if you take your time.

    Depending on how cloudy they are, you might even start with about 1000 grit paper. Try each for a few minutes with a trickle of water while sanding (always keep it wet), then wipe dry between grits to see if you notice any difference. Once it looks like the cloudy plastic is gone, start...

    You could also wet sand with about a 2000 grit then polish with a buffer (adjust grit as needed). That will cut the old cloudy plastic off quicker. We did this with a Concorde my dad has.

    Los Angeles Subie lover since '00

    Thanks for the info...Before I got the car I was looking into this, but the area I live in is pretty small (not a lot of installers for anything) so I kinda gave up. I know I'd have to bypass the safety switch and leave it in neutral, and I'm kinda iffy about that. I may wait until the warranty...

    Nice ride! Welcome to the board! How did you do the remote start with the 6-speed? I'm curious, I'd like to put one on mine eventually.

    Hello, does anybody have a Subaru Ambassador Coupon to share? Thanks!!!

    Hello, does anybody have a Subaru Ambassador Coupon to share? Thanks!!!

    New Subaru Owner from Ohio

    Thanks! I think there was one on the Sunday I picked up my car....I saw all kinds of Subis and Hondas on I-70 when I was heading home. Any websites that list meets over there?

    Thanks! No plans, just yet. May get a catback later on though. My wife actually sent me pictures of a WRX when I was trying to find a car, thinking I might like it.....She was right!

    Best oil

    I liked Amsoil in my other vehicles so much that I became a dealer! I run 5W30 XL in most everything, a friend of mine buys it off of me for his Toyota truck and loves it. I'm switching to Amsoil after the first oil change on my STI.
