Hey guys,

I am thinking about trading in my EVO for a FXT.. Some may ask WHY? well, Im just tired of that boy-racer image, and want something mature and different. ;) But I wan to see some fixed up FXTs before making my decisions...So Please post some tastfully done FXTs, no tacky bodykits n such.. I am not a big fan of outrageous bodykits.. Preferably STi bodypieces, lowered with nice wheels!

Thanks in advance!

I have about 15 pages of these, so I'm not going to waste too much more space here...

It's not the latest picture though. It's been lowered an inch or so with STi Forester springs since then, and is currently sitting on anthracite Prodrive P7's... :D

looks hot!!! keep them coming!! :)

i know in a recent issue of sport compact, one of the editors talked about making his Father's XT handle "less like a truck" buy adding WRX suspension, new tiers and some other stuff(sorry, i dont remember what those other things were).

yes the suspension for wrx and forester are interchangeable. :) The Forester will sit lower about 1.5" or so with stock WRX suspension :)

Uh, make that about 3-4 inches... The Forester-specific STi springs will drop it about an inch or so.

ahh i see..thanks :)

Here is mine as my signature says it all.

go for a leg homo..

go for a leg homo..

So, should I go for a little boy like you??

Since it takes a real man in order to keep up with the big boys in a Forester.

Go take some driving lessons, rack up half a million + miles of driving, and then come out and play with me little boy!!

Your post is the most thoughtful, insightful, and meaningful post to this entire thread!!

Of course, since you know NOTHING about Foresters, you wouldn't know that the Forester team came in third place in the ALCAN 5000, that the Forester smoked a bunch of other teams in the One Lap of America, and that Foresters are starting to pop up suprising the hell out of Audi, BMW, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota, and Mercedes owners everywhere. BTW, Foresters with large, heavy boxes in the back can STILL school a Porch Boxster!!

Don't worry about him. I know him.. his remark was directing at me.. it was just all in the fun.

Keep up the good work, guys! Need to see more pix tho!! :)

This is one of my personal favorites; would really like to get my hands on this bodykit.

yeah the genome body kit for the FXT is NICE....my fave too in fact...

man i havent been on the forester board in a while...

wow that does look very nice! I like the front end pieces. It makes the FXT much more bulkier and mean looking. GOod find! what country is that? Germany?

Yeah, I found the pic on a German Subaru board. Evidently the kit is sold through Subaru in most European countries, and I've also seen it on their Japanese website.
