The thread's poll be damned! Congrats on the new Subie. You chose wisely picking white, it IS the fastest car color, in case you didn't already know.

Try out the special edition and with the money you save go get a nice stereo installed and some osram +90 bulbs. Then with the rest of the money, buy some sweet mods, wheels, and some dyno tune time, and maybe a trackday to.

Oh, thanks! I learned something new today


Huck, do yourself a favor and get your front bumper clear bra'd immediately. We all know how tough subaru paint is.......it's pretty damn frustrating to see chips on a brand new car, I know that as a fact

Look into RA mudflaps too, at least the front ones, to protect your rear doors from getting sand blasted from whatever your front tires throw back.

Almost all GR owners will recommend a protune or at least a AccessPort with a OTS Stage 1 tune for 91oct ASAP. I've been doing just fine with the stock "dangerous" tune for 23k miles. Though I'll be honest that I'd be running a protune by now if I wasn't planning to sell.

If you like to do spirited drives, search up the seat mod that is basically unhooking clips at the back to get the seats to hug you more. I haven't done it yet, and do get annoyed at myself for not doing it whenever I slide around on turns.

Blacking the front grille/mustache is also very popular among GR owners, and it looks pretty damn good on a white car. I didn't do it, as I like the matching silvery on the mustache and fog light surrounds on a DGM.


Tail-light paint/overlays! A must do for white GR's!!!

Nice! Thanks for the infos.

Already got a few things along those lines planned... paint I know oh too well... front lip coming, maybe mudflaps... although taillights don't really bother me so much. I might just leave them stock. STi HIDs a priority... and trying to not touch the tune at least until after I break her in.

OEM... Plans are to keep everything clean and simple on this suby. I learned my lesson on my other moneypit.

Besides I really like the stock build of this STi.
