I noticed there is not really a thread started for newer WRX / STI owners to showcase their vehicles and as I was out taking some more pictures I thought I would start one!
So.....
hopefully we can get a pretty decent library going on here???? It will be interesting to see what people have done to the newer style Impreza's!
I don't know how I missed pics of your car until now... surely would have remembered that!
Very nice :thumbup:
I'll take some pics of mine and get them up ASAP.
I have a bunch, but they're all from when I washed the bike and car at the same time, so the real focal point was the bike, and the car is just in the background
Not even the user name; somehow I just never ended up reading a thread with pics of your car in it before...
Either way, it looks awesome. I like the way the gray decals pop in the red paint! What kind of wheels are those? Do you have a "build thread" somewhere?
My car has been the test car for a few products since I got it, so that's why its current state isn't truly reflective of what we've done to the car. For example, the FMIC was put on before there were even any FMIC kits available, so we had to change the piping and mounting brackets a little bit. Here is the current mod list as it sits:
Invidia Catless Downpipe
Invidia Q300 Catback
TurboXS FMIC custom modified from the 06-07 version
OpenSource tune for safe driving
EPIC Engineering prototype springs
Volk TE37 Seibon Edition in 19x9.5 +43 5x114.3
Toyo T1R in 275/30/19 all around
SPT Sport Grille
Custom painted tail lights
Vinyl graphics by Tex
At one point in time, we had each of the following on the car for testing purposes:
Eibach Pro-Kit springs (production version)
Element Tuning Hydra standalone EMS
Element Tuning GT52 turbo
Stock modified 850cc injectors
TurboXS 350Z catback, custom modified to bolt-on
There's a few build threads here and there, along with testing. Here's what I could find:

Thats quite an impressive list, cant wait till I can get my own STI, guess il have to get used to driving an AWD car properly first. Many days of Autocross to come!
Well I ran across a friend today that has a really really nice camera, tripod and all. She's gonna let me borrow it for a week. I took some test photos tonight, turns out I SUCK at night photography. I think I need to use a tripod and do some research..
I love the one through the fence!! I just bought a copy of photoshop so im going to start learning some editing skills and hopefully improve the quality of my images!
I must say I do love taking pictures of the car, okay its not an STI but its still my pride and joy.
I feel like I'm out of the loop, does everyone have red mudflaps? I thought it was too eye catching, and I don't need much extra attention...
Up next will be wheels/summer only tires (thinking SSR Type F) and then running over to RCE (only benefit to being in MD one could have) and maybe seeing about coilovers...
Here are more pics I added the WRX front plate today. I need to vent I just want to say my local dealership is full of idiots. When buying I asked the salesman if he could find me a 5-door he prob. not. So I went 120 miles out of my way to another dealer around ATL and they were great. But everytime I go down there they r idiots. Don't know anything about what they sell. Ok I feel better. I love Subaru though this is my second and I still have they first.
Thanks man! Yeah I know that brace behind the grill is annoying.. I thought about cutting it out completely but I dont want to disturb the strength of the bumper (It's part of the bumper, separate from the grille)
yeah I noticed when i put in the sport grille it still has that brace!! Probably there for a reason, nothing a can of trim black couldnt fix though!! haha :thumbup:
