Let's Build Karma 2.0

[@Goodnuggz]

I do remember the bug eyes being yellow back in the day. That was really popular color for them. I just love black blobs.

[@Smeedia]

If thr paint was Java Black Pearl I would have left it but thr inside black is kinda meh IMO plus my paint has seen better days 😅

[@iTeachMyToast]

Yeah they even came in two shades of yellow! Blaze yellow (my favorite) and sonic yellow

[@Goodnuggz]

@@Smeedia That's one thing I haven't seen in years (yellow bug eye). The first time I watched this video I was definitely not feeling it. But knowing that it was yellow the second time, I'm really intrigued on how it's going to look at the end. BTW I'm still waiting on the quick release splitter... I want the back of my splitter secure to the car but easily able to get it off with the front bumper and lip. Told you I was going to hold you to it.

[@Smeedia]

Still waiting on the brackets to come in for mine, everything's Hella back ordered 😭

[@Goodnuggz]

@@Smeedia I hear you on that. Been waiting months for APR parts... still have no ETA at all from VIS for my hood.

[@Alexander_Hodge]

Personally I'd say keep the scoop. As the scoop is like the main trait of the wrx/sti. Although it is your car so do as you like.

[@Smeedia]

Wanna see how it looks wrapped and back on 🔥

[@Madvillian]

Have you seen the hood scoop delete sold by @2jz_lelandsti?

[@Smeedia]

I have, want that one!

[@cjhouse8666]

I second keeping the scoop!

[@shaunpetersen256]

The scoop is messing with your front aero and cooling system. Now that you’ve gone fmic, delete the scoop. 2nd the ion coating deletes… 👍✨✨

Love it!! Bumblebee Taxi 😁 It reminds me of the poppin colors from 60's muscle car era. BTW, I did a shot everytime you said bumper, got hammered 😂

[@Smeedia]

Sounds like a party over there 🤣😅🔥

[@whagans1]

Dude, I'm actually reeeeeallly liking the yellow! Superb choice 👌 Ouuuuuuu

[@Smeedia]

Right! Looks so much better than I thought it would 💛😍

[@albertoguerrero80]

Taaaaaaaxxxiiiii 🤣 love the mix of black and yellow! 👌🏻 come on, you always make this things look so easy, the other day I tried to wrap a section, small section of the rear bumper, what a mess 😅

[@Smeedia]

Lol that was me today trying to wrap my front bumper 😅😅😅

[@electroevolution5777]

I feel like I say this every time but god damn dude I am proud of you. Military, then bs jobs, and now you're doing this is and doing it well! The car looks fantastic in that yellow (I normally don't like yellow unless its on a beatle) and personally I think you should keep the scoop but make your own (or have Kyle make it). You should consider putting one of those yellow spoke stripes on each of the wheels, they also help with capturing time/speed during events. Any who....WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edit: Can you tell me exactly how long I have been a subscriber?

[@Smeedia]

I can pop on the computer in a bit and find out how long 😁 alqays appreciate the support my dude been crazy seeing thr channel grow and continuing to do new things for me to continue expanding. And we're going to keep the scoop I just don't want to wrap it 😅😅😅

[@electroevolution5777]

@@Smeedia for sure dude! Excited to know and I definitely like the stock scoop. You should do a small yellow smeedia decal on the back of the scoop haha

[@briana8117]

Dude that yellow pops so well on the 05!! You keep inspiring me to challenge myself and im going to wrap my own car now!!! Wish me luck!!!!!!

[@Smeedia]

Best of luck! It's not too bad to do, this is the third car I've wrapped. Gotta start somewhere 🔥😁

[@SonikJesus]

Never really been a fan of yellow cars but I have to say you converted me. Car is looking awesome!

[@Smeedia]

Same TBH, but always wanted to give it a try. Coming out much better than I thought it would!

[@poncewrx]

Looking good can't wait to see it when it's all done

[@Smeedia]

Making some good progress with it 🔥🙏🤣

[@BlazeOn88]

To make the door handle removal easier, take the window out. Just gotta get the window at the right height, take the 2 10mm bolts out of the regulator that hold the glass. Then lift the glass off the regulator as you lower the regulator to the bottom of the door, rotate the glass towards the front of the car and lift it out. And be SUPER careful with the door handle bolts, those are the same handles as Toyota and they are notorious for pulling the nut out or just shattering the plastic of the handle. And whoever decided the lock needed that massive clip to hold the lock rod, needs a high five, in the face, with a chair.

[@Smeedia]

Got all the handles done 👌 luckily did not strip any nuts or need to take the window out. Just a PIA to get in there 😅😅😅

[@WRXMAN-ms2mm]

Why do I all of a sudden feel like hailing a cab 🚕? 🤣🤣 This would be one cab 🚕 I would not mind riding in.

[@Smeedia]

It's a quick taxi 🤣😅

[@driftspecs13]

That's Kraft Mac and Cheese yellow and you know it! Love it though. It's a shame '04-'05 STIs didn't come in Sonic Yellow.

[@jrs1986]

I think we call he bumblebee now :). Amazing job on the wrap again!

[@Smeedia]

I've heard rumblebee tossed around a few times 😅🔥

[@erics6088]

Gonna look like a completely different car. Wasn't sure about yellow at first, but it's growing on me, especially how it shifts in the light!

[@Smeedia]

It looks so much better than I thought it would, also suuuuper glad I went with a dark yellow compared to a normal. Would have been wayyyyy too bright for me 😅💛

[@fatsubie7604]

Really like the yellow. Can you show how/where did you relocate the fuel filter? How much wrap do I need for the roof only?

[@Smeedia]

Yes I can touch on it in a video and about 5 ft but 6 ft is enough 🙏

Worth it! The dark yellow is a pretty good mix of color so it's not overly bright 💛

[@BumpinandBoostin]

If you put the fuel line to the other side of the fuel tank it will fit. Towards the passenger side of the car you need someone else to guide it around the saddle

[@Smeedia]

I tired both ways, when I have the engine out and fuel system decompressed I'm going to drain the tank and drop it down a bit to be able to get it through there

[@Alexander_Hodge]

The yellow looks great! Karma is gonna stand out a lot. And how do you wrap it so fast??

These are the easier of the panels to do so they don't take me too long. The bumper and door handles are what take me forever 😖
