That BRAND new ones are sick. I wouldn't get anything between 2007 and 2010 though.

I hate the saab front end! But I love the tailights and rear bumper! But to each his own... JDM stuff is way sick too, and I also like rally stuff. Since I have sedan fenders maybe I'll get a prodrive WRC front bumper, mudflaps, and a lightbar 555 FTW!!

Word! That's a sick way to go!

I love that bumper. I really want a light bar but I might flush mount some beefy lights in my the opening in front of my radiator. Still gets plenty of air.

Be careful doing a lot of polishing with your drill.


I had a super killer Dewalt drill... top of the line, big daddy model from when I laid carpet and did construction... Was doing some polishing on my caddy motor and something snapped inside. It ended up in my trash can.

Think I just found my LGT brake set up... woot.

That combined with my STI booster set up... stoked! Poor man's big brake kit.

So that's gonna be my list of changes over the next few months. LOL.

Brakes upgrade.
Changed out to an sti cat less up pipe
new tune
new front and rear end links
possible a super TD04
new exedy clutch

hopefully that'll hold me off until the motor goes boom.



Anyone need a complete stock WRX brake set up. Master Cylinder. Booster. Slotted rotors. Hawk pads (one brand new in box front set). Calipers.

whole shebang.

My car has been around and around again. LOL.

Had stock fogs, JDM fogs, cover.
4 sets of wheels.
4 or 5 different suspension set ups.
Crazy stereo system (custom fiberglass box, 10w7, JL 500/1, JL 300/4, custom tweats, nice door speakers. 2 different in dash screen set ups)
No stereo
Railed with racks
derailed with JDM guards

etc


the only thing I haven't changed on my car is the exhaust. I LOVE my perrin even though it fits like crap and it's dirty/stained as hell. LOL!

Poor thing is showing it's age. When the time comes I'll probably do a full swap in it. Just can't swing a car payment right now. Hoping to buy a house in the next 1-2 years and another kid will probably come along in the next 2-3 years. So I figure I'll just go crazy with a built motor/tranny or get a low mileage 2010ish WRX or STI swap and do the whole car. Whatever I can do for like $6-8k.
