Those Subaru rims look hot. How different was the offset in comparison to the factory rims?

question #1 stock rim offset was +35the 2005 legacy 2.5 gt offset was +55question #2 i got the dash kit from wooddashexperts.comquestion #3 i swapped the headlights because i cracked the lens on the right side with a mailbox. so instead of ordering another 03/04 headlight i decided to go with the 06 headlight. which in my opinion looks way better on the car.question #3 yes the box by the shifter is just for the lights.question #4 the subie rims weigh 18 pounds

but with these cars they atually look better lowered IMO. we mean you dont have to go with a super low 2" drop, others on here went very little, 1"-1.5" drops and they look good. and with your suby rims it would look to bad lowered 1" and itd improve your handling

What steps did you take to remove the roof rack? I'm mainly wanting to remove the rails and put them back on after painting so I'm not wanting to tear anything up during the process.

actually the roof rack cracked, so i took it off, on the front part of the roof rack, ( the shiny plastic cap) they pop off and slide out, there should be 2 screws underneath it holding down the front part, same with the back gently lift the plastic cap up, and slide out, there should also be 2 screws holding down the rack, u will need to remove the screws with hex keys. i believe there are 2 more srcews holding it down, i think (not for sure) they are underneath the metal railing, it should just pop off,i plan on just putting on roof rack caps once after i get my roof painted
