Wow I really like it. I would prefer gloss F Sport ultra sonic blue more than the matte blue. The rear diffuser would looks even more sick if painted.
The wheels look damn nice too. It looks similar to the TSW Nurburgring or the Enkei Raijin. If you have the money to do it again, would you still pick Ground Force GF07 over the TSW or the Enkei one?

The spoke design is similar to those wheels but the concave design isn't. My last wheels were a curved concave and wanted to try a straight concave this time around
Plus these wheels are brand new and wanted to be different

I heard someone had put the whole headlight into their oven and baked at 200 degrees F around 20 minutes to break the seal and then took it apart and painted the inside. sounds kind of shady with trying to get the headlight resealed though.

Looks good!
I've been into Subies for the past 10 years and I absolutely love my hella horns....I was going to put some on the Lexus but I was unsure. Good to see I wasn't the only one with the thought
Baking the headlights isn't shady at all. That is how you paint the housing....there is no other way to do it. I've baked quite a few headlights lol. Everyone bakes their Subaru headlights to remove the amber corners in them....they are quite obnoxious

I have painted multiple headlights this way.
The only way to get the seal soft enough to open it is by heating it.
two methods you sit there with a heat gun which can damage and takes time and wont work rihgt
or you put it in a oven heat it pop it paint it and reseal it.

Issue is to clear those big brakes you need to run a lower offset which would cause it to poke so you would need to stretch tire and lowering is recommended at that point
Shoot me a pm ill see how I can help you out and well figure a few things out for your ride
