1st Subaru 2013 WRX Limited 5d WRB
Hi i-club community! I'm new and just wanted to drop a "hello" and start contributing. Here's my latest purchase, a 2013 WRX WRB Subaru Limited 5dr for our baby. Had to ditch the 2003 Nissan 350z Touring Silver Metallic as our life style calls for something more practical. We have another 4 door vehicle 2000 Honda Accord Sedan V6 in champagne which servers our purpose well until a second baby arrives in which we then will most likely go for a suv of some sort.

List of things currently done:
-Full clear bra tucked with key cups and door trims done
-20% tint all around
-OEM Subaru Visor/Wind deflector
-Rally Amor Mud Flaps Blue
-Front Lip Polyurethane
-Side Skirts Polyurethane
-Rear Aprons Polyurethane
-Rear Diffuser Polyurethane
-License Plate Delete powder coated to match wrb (Currently Plasti dipped matt black)
-Plasti Dipped in Gunmetal, front wrx logo, side wrx emblem and rear emblems
-Invidia q300 Ti tips
Mods in the near future:
-blacked out head lights (let me know if you guys know of someone that can do it locally)
-Cobb Access port or some open source ecu flash (currently hesitant to do it, don't want to void warranty just yet)
I'm almost done doing little things to it, aesthetics mostly. I wouldn't want to compromise the nice daily driving suspension and feel so far compared to the STI which I test drove as well. It felt just like a 350z again with the stiff suspension, not as baby friendly as the dd wrx. By the way I saved roughly 10k just going the wrx route, the price they're marking up for the STI and WRX is absurd lately, due to demand and supply.
One thing I would really like to do is the blacked out headlights, anyone have recommendation that can do it locally? I live in the bay area, work and reside in Santa Clara currently. Thanks for everyone's time and do not hesitate to message me if you have any questions!

Car looks nice! I'd love a hatch..
As far as painting your headlights, chase and brendan seem to be making a name for themselves. I think boostedbrendan is brendans(duh), I don't remember chase's username. Chase is in santa clara I believe and brendan is in morgan hill. Also, javablack is up in sac and has amazing talent with anything he does

no problem, I just emailed lolfunction to see if he still provides the service.. You know having a wife an child is a bit harder to do car related stuff. It also sucks as we are currently living in a apartment which shares an underground parking structure. I installed my mud flaps and I swear people would stare at me weird.. it's like you haven't worked on your own car before? Oh and not to mention I was blocking my neighbor going in and out so sadly I have to source my work out to other's for now until we get our own garage to work on =/

I bet its such a hassle to work on the car. I'm blessed to be still living with my parents and having access to tools from either my pops from when he used to work on cars or neighbors on the street that also work on cars excessively.
