Reply With QuoteHey, nice mod! I agree with you about those fog lights. I was surprised and annoyed to find I couldn't turn them on without also having headlights on full beam. Although, I don't think I'm bothered enough to start running wires, haha.
This is a discussion on '12 premium RED hatch WRX within the Member Show-Off & Photography forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; I disabled the day time running lights because they were ugly and I like having complete control if my lights ...
I disabled the day time running lights because they were ugly and I like having complete control if my lights are on or not. ( I know I'm weird that way ). So when you turn the marker lights on the fogs wouldn't turn on, that was a big no no for me. So I ran a wire from my marker light to my fog light. So now when my markers are on my fogs are on, and I turn those on as my day time running lights. Here's a pic. btw I realize this would be a better pic at dusk, I can do so by request.

Finally installed mud flaps.
I see you painted the WRX emblem on the front but not the rear. Any plans? Although red on the back might be too much. Maybe you could plasticoat them both black. Just a thought.
I'm on the fence about plasti dipping it black or just taking it off. I like the red on the front it makes it stand out a little bit. And the front is actually DOT reflective tape I cut to fit the letters. It was a bit of a bear.
It's a bit tougher with a red car as you want it to stand out. I went ahead and completely debadged my car front and back.Originally Posted by free2be4ever7
wished they offer red for 2013
I love the red. It's not for everyone but it's definitely for me.
Installed a boost gauge and front strut mount this weekend. The gauge is in a temp spot.
I have my AFR gauge there. I actually like it in that spot. The red is dope btw
I don't mind it, I'm not a fan of looking down while I'm accelerating. I'm waiting to get the monkey bones vent pod.
Would you have such car to sell it?

How have the dipped wheels been holding up for you? I know a lot of people say they are difficult to clean.
Has the car settled anymore on the suspension?
The dipped wheels are holding up pretty good. I had a problem with them getting clean, but I started using the soap after washing my car and it they came out great. I haven't dropped anymore, I like where I'm at.
Very nice. Aside from the Kartboy STS and bushings I have in the garage, the Bilstein/RCE kit will be the next thing I get for the car.
I know the drop is modest (somewhere between .75" - 1.25"?), but how's the ride quality? I'd imagine it's much less "bouncy", but is it now harsh going over bumps or road imperfections?
