Thank You Speed Element and Wheel Dude! Teaser shot of 2012 WRX Hatch with Rota MXR's

Just wanted to say thank you to Speed Element and Wheel Dude for the awesome service and work. Purchased some Rota MXR 18x9.5, +38, 5x100 wheels with Ventus 255/35/18 tires and love the clean look. Also picked up some BC Racing BR Coilovers and had Speed Element install them today. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. I've been a customer of Speed Element since 2006 and my Evo IX days and they continue to impress me to this day.

Here is a cell phone pic but planning on doing a photoshoot in the near future.

Thanks! I will be stopping by your place next month for a custom tune! Looking to add a drop in filter, catless downpipe, 1000cc injectors, fuel pump and a custom 91 tune and a E85 tune.

I don't like how they cleared the headlights for 2012s but wheels fit the car great, size and color

Looks like an old person hunched over using a walker in the rear. Did the springs break?

Not a total fan of the tucked look, but that looks clean.

Yeah i really prefer the black backsplash on the headlights from 2011. Looks more aggressive to me.

Really like the look of the car though man. Very clean

Yeah i like the 2011 lights better also. I wonder if I can swap them out.

Thanks for the kind words. Glad I was able to pull off the "clean" look on my car. Exactly what I was after...
