So far, I have tinted the windows and have rally armor UR mudflaps installed. Love the mudflaps, took me about 2 1/2 hours to install. I took my time and didnt have to remove any of the wheels. I had my tails tinted but was not satisfied with the end result (color looked weird to me) and this was with 6/10 tint from Bluebat, so I removed it. I may try a more drastic tail light mod.

Agreed on the shifter...it sucks. I have the Kartboy shifter and bushings coming to me as I type this - had the same on my 02 and loved it. I ordered the sport grill too.

My next mods will be an SPT exhaust - next month, then rims and springs in July.

We'll see about an intake, DP and tune after that.

I havent gotten around to looking for the silencer. I'm still looking for the throttle body FFS.

Brings back memories of pulling that damn thing off of my mom's '97 2.2L wagon and tearing up and down the neighborhood with the obnoxious "blowing in a jug" noise.

i ordered the SPT exhaust, ordered swaybars for it front and rear. Want to get Access port, just don't know if i should get perrin's or cobb's maps. and after getting the Access port will get a down pipe. With modds on our engines we should replace the crappy plastic BOV(i know our car's don't have a real BOV, i'm new to subaru).

nice! congrats and welcome. which sways are you getting?

i suggest perrin for now, they are using cobbs AP just their own maps.

if you look at my perrin vs cobb thread ud see what im talking about and all the power gains. new cobb AP maps are weak for 08's
