Looks good. So whats up for your first modifications?

It came with only a couple OEM options. I've ordered these things and will install them myself.


Security Upgrade
Auto dimming mirror
Rear diff cover
Front end cover Hood only
Rear Cargo nets Side ones
Rear cargo net Seat Back one
Rubber Mats
Air Filtraton System

Will do a little later:

Armrest Extension
Brush Guard

I want to retorfit a glove box light too. Did it on the RS, it's fairly simple. I put my wheel locks on yesterday an have to put in the upgraded fogs and headlamps I saved from my RS.

Aftermarket stuff, I'll start with a KB shifter and bushings. Remove the silencer and plug the hole in the fender. After that I want to work on the suspension. Sway bar and such, then who knows :)

Cool. It definately needs to lose some of the wheel well gap and tint the windows. I just want the motor for a swap into my GM body car.

You are right, I neglected to mention tinting,ere in KS that's a must. I'm going to arrange for that ASAP. I usually get 35% at the back and front sides with 25% for the back sides. Should look good on the Red :)

Lose the stock exhaust cause it has too much of the Pep Boy cheap look to it, swap in the MOMO center of the steering wheel, dash top gauge pod for the essentials on a turbo car like the oil pressure, oil temp and EGT. Lets not forget a good 4 piston brake upgrade. They do look good though. Too bad Subaru has already lost my business when I buy my next car.

WOW! I have never really liked the forrester before this due to the power (or lack of it!) I might have to consider one of those!

To be honest, it never did much for me either. But, as you say the increase in power made it more appealing. Now though it's sort of like whe someone asks you about a blind date

"It's got a nice personality" :p

I really like the stealth factor. I've already started to debadging it. I took the chrome AWD emblems on the C pillars. Debating on removing the 25-XT next.

had it tinted to day:

Peaty, Do you know what suspension kits are available for the new forester XT?

I am definitely getting one next year.

I don't know of any specific ones avaliable here yet. I'm keeping my eyes open though.
