Very tastefully modded Subi.

I almost bought a 2007 Legacy GT. I was torn between that and my G35x. That is, until I drove them both. I fell in love with the instant torque of the G and the rest is history. Still haven't caught the mod but yet though. Waiting til warranty's up.

That instant TQ is nothing compared to the TQ of a well tuned Subaru trust me...

I dunno man, after looking at those pix again, I think I would've kept the Subie. What made you get rid of her? Everything was perfect except the tranny (AT). Plus the "STI" interior was a nice touch too.

No issue at all with the car, just wanted to get out of debt and pay off some bills, Wanted a 2nd gen or 2.5 gen G35/7 almost pulled the trigger but that would have put me back into debt so I found my G and it was a deal I couldnt pass up. And I needed something a bit more grown up instead of the LGT. Great Great Great car but was too loud ride to stiff and looks were well you can see it. Im starting to miss my car ...

Little progress report, front lip will be installed this weekend. Painted OEM grill simi gloss black. Hopefully my spacers will show up this weekend and I can put my wheels on and my springs when ever I can find the help.

I hate the X stock bumper and I really dont want to deal with a new front end unless I HAVE to so why not add something to freshen up those boring slots on the front.

What do you guys think about these:






Aries™ Audi LED TFL/DRL Light Bar

Application (Please consult your owner's manual for your application fitment type):
Most Applications require modification or custom fitting. Please consult with authorized technician or consult with the owner's manual.

Product Description :

This product is NOT the cheap "knock-off"brand kits sold by elsewhere. It is not a simplistic and flexible LED strip with low powered LED, nor is it a low quality reproduction. This is built with long term usage and functionality in mind.

With the new AUDI S6 parking light you no longer need the 1990s style ugly DRL lights that most cars use today. Jump into TODAY with the new LED based technology.

The product comes with many features including pulse width modulation for on/off signaling just like the factory units on the new Audi S5 and other new Audi models.

You can fit this to almost any vehicle with customization into the bumper to adapt the fixture into the lower valance or directly inside the bumper. However if you do perform any custom work, we are no longer able to accept the product for return. We can help provide custom installation information, but not services and are not respnosible for any installation (please see our terms and conditions).

For optimal placement, please ensure that the light is no less than 35cm from the ground and no more than 90cm above the ground. Also, to ensure proper coverage area, please ensure that distance between the lights is at least 60cm apart.


DOT Legal
Lifetime Warranty
No Errors on any Vehicle
Simple 12V Power/Ground Connection with cut off 3rd lead wire for signaling.

Most audi's have the LED's in the lamps. Benz Merc's porches and most JDM market Nissan Toyota's run them in the bumper.
