Congrats on the new subie.

I bet you could find some parts at the local junkyard. Although pickings are going to be slim. I would just keep a sharp eye out for anything that pops up.

Nice set of rims, replace the cut springs for lowered springs (you might have to source them by size not by make), steam clean the interior to get rid of the stains, tint the windows, and your set

If you really wanted, you could do the Earl Shives paint job and make it gleam.

You should black everything out. Body, wheels, lights; make it look like a stealthy ninja

And someone said ditch the AAA sticker, and I have to second that motion

I wonder of Rota makes wheels for it. And if a stock WRX turbo would be a big-*** turbo upgrade for it
