First time Suby owner -- '12 WRX Premium

Yo, what's up everyone.

Previous 2011 Mazda3 2.5 owner, which was totaled in a hit & run last year. I used my insurance money and bought myself the car I always wanted -- WRX, in WR blue -- my birthday & Christmas present to myself. With the bigger turbo, wider wheels, and sti bumper, projector headlights, I am definitely happy!


Looking forward to doing some quaint mods, nothing too crazy. First time modding a car, but my other hobby -- motorcycling -- is where I got my first mod experience.

Yesterday I just had all windows tinted, clear bra installed, and lamin-x clear headlight film and yellow film for the fogs.

On the way to come are stainless steel brake lines, lowering springs, cold air intake, HIDs, LED license plate, front & rear strut bars.

Did you do a retrofit kit for the HIDs or get HID housings?
