Kind of a neat looking video. I don't think it should have taken 11 hours, personally. With the number of guys they had working on it I would say it should have been done in 8 hours tops. I mean, it was a brand new white car, so the detail couldn't have taken that long. Window tint shouldn't have taken more than two or three hours max. Same for the clear bra. I'm just not seeing 11 hours worth of work there.
 
Pretty neat video. Really glad Subaru ditched the wagon STi.
 
Awesome video, I was trying to resist getting up and dancing to the music the whole time. My only criticism on the video is the lack of a before shot of the car, it looked as though they just did a quick 1-step on the paint. Also 3+ people worked on the car and 2 were polishing at the same time so 11 hours is incredibly long. My window tint guy can get a car tinted perfectly in 2-3 hours with no problem. I have seen him do clear bras in less than that.

Overall fun to watch and thanks for posting for everyone to see.
 
Cool video! At least it looks like a million bucks after the 11 hours!!!
 
If they were really pros they would've corrected the paint before applying the clear bra

Geez... I feel like I am jacking this thread, but, at least in the sequence of the video, they did correct the paint before they applied the clear bra.

They did? I watched the first 10 seconds and shut it down. According to there title it was "wash,tint & clear bra" maybe they should've added correction to there tile

Werd. I just wish the insurance on those suckers wasn't so freaking high. I'm 34, married, no tickets, perfect credit, and whatever else you can have to get the best rates, and yet the insurance on one of those would still be just about as much as the car payment. lol They need to get STi to whip up a Legacy and then I'll be there. ;)

Damn, really? I have really been thinking about trading in my 04 for a new Sti. That sucks. I have played that stupid insurance rate game before, and I am not going to do it again... even if that means no new Sti!

There is a Legacy Sti overseas man! Just import one! HAHA! There is even the S402 Version that is supposed to be absolute hell on wheels! What Subaru needs to do is just stop being so damn stingy with all the good cars!!!

Insurance all depends but, I'm 21 with 06 sti, one ticket, and I pay $148/month. What did they quote you for?
 
When I came back from the service, the insurance on an R/T was as much for a year as the car cost! I was told not to go over 400 cubic inches, and no "performance" cars, ie GTO, GT, SS, etc. It was OK if I got a Nova or Chevelle with a 396, but NOT a SS-396. Go figure. The decals and stripes must make it go too fast. I finally got a used 383 Dodge Charger (not R/T) that really flew, but could insure. That was 40 years ago, and I see insurance companies haven't got any smarter.
 
cool vid, this reminds me of the 08 i detailed.

i love my 2010 sti wagon =)
 
as for insurance, really just gotta shop around to find the best deal ...
 
Forget the STi. I want that white Defender in the background. Now THAT'S sweet.

I prefer the hatch to the sedan.... that said, I recently bought an evo. If your insurance is high on an STI, it has to be where you are living. I was shopping evos and sti's just a couple months ago and insurance for me is relatively cheap 320 for 6 months on my evo. I actually think the STI was 'slightly' cheaper -> State Farm, 32, married, multiple line discount, clean record, etc. I will say it was about 9/month more had I listed it as a average miles. I listed it at a max of 7500 miles a yr. I have 5 vehicles and only one gets driven more than 7000 miles a yr.

The white is definitely a good color. I might be buying an 08 hatch sti this week -> white. Though, Forged Performance listed up their build on a new STI and the blue has me drooling:
