he deserves the coolest dad award

WR blue with the gold bbs’s is hands down my favorite look for that generation😍 your dad has good taste😂 Damn had to edit this, that correction looks insane! Literally looks like wet paint. Killed it

Hit those headlights with a buffer after sanding and then do that ceramic coating over them. That should get the haze out 90-95%

This channel's so underrated. Love the content.

That's awesome your dad is into Subarus, my dad has 12 cats... and he lives in a small house.

Bro when he drove off in the beginning and the drums hit I jumped cuz at first I thought it was a pop 😂😂

With a heavy cut compound it’s best to go over it with perfecting cream to get the true depth and clarity

I love your dad and the relationship you guys have with each other!😊

Man you have a cool Dad.. enjoy the time you have with your Dad.. Wish I had memories like that.. super cool man!

Really like the simplicity of your content, and your honesty. Most vids are full of people who like to hear themselves talk. And act like they know about everything at 20. When learning is the best part about cars.

"She's sweet." Idk about you, but I think that's the BEST thing he could have said. short and sweet and to the point.

This is so awesome bro! We have to get the Hawkeyes together soon!

I remember when I was little and my dad was huge into the fast and furious scene with his 2002 modified v6 accord. He got me into cars :)

What a lad your dad is mate. The Hawkeye is my favourite generation, something about the front end that makes me happy lol. I've got an RB320 (limited UK edition) #005/320 - by far the best Subaru I've owned so far. So I hope your Dad enjoys his as much as I enjoy mine. 👍 Your Dad also looks like an older Nathan Fillion. 😂

ill just say it, you deserve WAY more views. Love your channel Cam!

Also, how cool is it you get to do this stuff with you dad. Trust me that is priceless time and just awesome you get to hang out and dog car stuff with him.

Amazing video man! I usually don’t watch long YT videos but I actually watched from start to finish! Keep up the good content 👍🏻

So happy for your dad! Congrats to you both!!!

That car is a absolute gem, I love my 2016 wrx in dark metallic gray, I hope to get a older one like this also

Amazing to see your video about how much your dad loved your 05 and now the role of “like father like son” has swapped❤️

for a second at 3:10 I thought the car backfired than realized it was the song

Oh hell yes! I own a 2021 STi at 52 years old. I've always been involved in the car & jeep scene, but I love this STi.

Great family. That is d best. I still have the 06 sti w/spt add ons. Just swapped ou the coolant hoses for silicone hoses and installed an aluminum skid plate. Im 68 retired that is it for now. Paz y salud

Dont forget the cylinder 4 cooling mod, works well for the ej25 blocks that's in that Hawkeye and run very good oil ester based oils are the best, I'm using gulf competition 5w40 in mine

When u coat the car make sure u have a light pointed at the panel to see if u wiped all the excess off. Also wipe fast but not hard and make sure to wipe the surrounding panels of the one getting coated

”she’s sweet” 😭u know he loves it

How come you didn’t do a polishing stage. It gives the paint that perfect finish and gets rid of the haze cutting the paint leaves.

Everytime I see a hawk I get so happy. Also, I laughed when I saw the cracked center grille on the bumper. Everyone I know with a hawk has that either broken or cracked lmfao. Mine is just completely broken

So beautiful, granted I've got a wrx for the fourth time but damn the 07 is the best by far. Congratulations to your dad, she is sweet

3:10, thought the popping was the exhaust for a sec😂

incredible, super stoked for your dad Cam. also grats on 200k!

The dad we were all missing and desired 🥺

You can get OEM clarity on the headlights. My 98 Z3 had the headlights professionally sanded all the way to 3k grit sand paper and then 4 UV resin coats and then a compound and polish after that and they look crystal clear as if they were new, cost me $125 and a days time. It is possible just takes time and some elbow grease or paying someone else to do it.

Oof. Microfiber pads are for heavy cutting. You typically want to go two step and finish with a finer pad if you are doing heavy cutting. You’re going to be left with some haze and imperfect finish with a one step heavy cut like this. For a one step cut and polish, you typically want an all in one cut and finish polish with something like an orange pad. I’d buff this ceramic coat off and do a fine polish on the clear, then put a high quality cermaic coat on it like NV Nova or Miyabi Zipang.

I’m not mad about the part out, I’m just mad it was a aspen white and not a more common color. To me that’s like taking a rare spec M3 and turning it into a full track build where you have to cut into things. But I also know the gc8 will be even more rowdy so I’m happy it’s going into a proper build.

That bayside blue really compliments your pops new sti

nice find and well done on the tlc.

Nice to have a dad who cares. Cleaned my dad's car a couple times, but after getting no reaction and a "I could've just gone to the car wash" attitude, ain't no point.

another awesome vid Cam! Love your work man, God bless and keep em coming bro!

The Hawkeye is possibly the most handsome looking Impreza/WRX. Sadly I was a broke college student in 07 and could only afford a Sentra SE-R Spec V.

This is on of my dream cars in this color with gold bbs wheels and every stock except maybe a invidia N1 exhaust

"...Totally did not see that coming..." 😂

3:10 man I thought it backfires 😂😂

Not gonna lie I never got the subaru hype growing up. Now that I have owned a new 2019 wrx for 2 years I gotta say they are so addicting.

Thumbs up for spending time with dad.

I love the ceramic coating on my car shines like crazy every time i wash and most the dust comes right off with just a rinse

Wish my dad was a subie gang. He drove an A/T Honda Accord under speed limit 30 mph. He ain’t about that boxer rumble life.

If you're putting the stock radio in it, you should do the green to red light mod on it. I know the earlier 6 disk w/ cassette player can be done somewhat easily with just red bulb covers/condoms. Same with the HVAC and Keyring lights. But it looks like the later 6 disk use LED's and have green plastic and are harder to color change. But if you're trying to make it 100% stock then you should leave everything the way it came from Subaru. Many years ago when my 04 STI's engine gave out it was basically the same price to go with a built motor w/ turbo and supporting mod versus going back to stock; and now I know that it would be worth more if it was completely stock.

U sure your dad has never done this before? He looks like a pro when it comes to detailing.

My dad also just recently bought a 06 Hawkeye sti with 34k miles

Without a doubt these cars are going up in value in the next 5-10 year. All my favorite cars from the McLaren F1, Toyota Supra mark IV, Nissan Skyline GTR R34, and now quite possibly the Iconic WRX STI as well. I blame Gran Turismo for the ridiculous prices on these cars nowadays

I can relate to your dad I just recently bought an 05 sti with 63k miles on it also bone stock

Haven’t seen your channel in a minute, good to see you’re doing good!

I also used Cerekote trim restore on my entire 06 sti and it looked brand new. I used it on the rear roof vane too and it looked mint

Wow! Amazing new look👍🏼

I’m in chandler, slowly rebuilding my 07 STI, have to hit up tortilla sometime

You should do a reaction video of your old man watching the opening scene of Baby Driver if he hasn't already seen it. Sweet car!

Oh man what a beautiful color combination 😍 Your dad made a great choice!

Mr. Alford is a GOAT

your dads a legend, also stoked to see your building a gc8 up the holy grail of wrx's , the blobeyes are cool but not as cool as 1st gen

Not only STI . I agree any boosted Subaru always leaves a worry in the back of your mind but at the same time yunno if your keeping your intake air temps down and not ripping on it and making boost on every chance you get then yunno .. should be okay , usdm 2.5s are kinda poopy to Begin with . JDM 2.0 is where it's at

I have the same exact car, so im gonna love seeing this thing around!

Such a gorgeous subie! Cant wait to get into a Hawkeye myself!

Love your garage! 😍😍

What a nice guy, and good content! Guess a win win brother

Great vid. Also copped the STI jet tag.

Very dope video, man. Hope your dod loves his STI.

Wow def a dope ass dad

3:09 craziest backfire from a stock sti

it looks soooooooo good dude good job

Dream of a car congrats to your dad

You can remove the headlights with only the center grill removed btw... I've done it on my 06 when needed. ;-) Also should have posted mine before this guy sold you his LOL... 06 with 79k miles in Steel Grey Metalic Beautiful car though. Always loved the WRB flagship color

Wow this video is really good! Thanks! 02 Bugeye here.

Still my dream car!!!!!!!!!!

That's such a sick car.

The sun doesn't lie 😬

Gotta love that WRB paint

water is not a lubracation bro use a quick detailer or actual clay lube this will prevent marring and scratching and try a 1 step polish instead of only a compound. so much more gloss will apear if you polish after compounding

Man I Love Your Video's :D

Your Dad is rad.

lol this was my homies STI, take good care of Her!

@3:10 I thought the exhaust was back firing but it's just the music 🥴

just found your channel today. wish i could hang out with your dad haha

what a cool dude and a clean car

Time capsule to say the least 🥶

You must see my dad's reaction when he saw my evo 7 first time, it was more like it would be drivable if you get rid of that spoiler. 😂

Bare feet on that summer asphalt! Dad’s tough

Would recommend buying some oe bushing for him all around that thing would give him a better feel of the car like brand new

great vid, enjoyed it!

definetly needed this! i have a 2013 z with alot of oxidation

Yep - my favourite 😎

impulse buys my dream car

You need to put the tailights from the blob eye onto the hawkeye

I use to play baseball with Cameron and his dad was my coach

I love the Hawkeye

Wow looks so nice thats my dream car

Next video should be you and your dad on the mountains driving together in both of your STIs

Wicked dad

Hey cameron love your vids just wanted to tell you a channel called daily dropout which has over 3 millions subscribers one person that works for the channel was wearing a carma speed t shirt just wanted to point it out
