Hello,

Welcome! First thing I would do....

Detail it extremely well. You would be surprised to see how much junk is on the paint when you clay a brand new car.

I would also clear bra the front end for protection, but that gets expensive.

Break it in nicely. IMO

Mudflaps are the best first mod IMO. Protects the car and they look sweet.

Just have fun with it! 2011 WRX's are freakin awesome!

Thank you guys. Im really excited to own this car because it's fun just driving it. I see them all over the place now. Can't wait for my first meet. She will probably still be completely stock but give it time

Subies FTW! if you want to drool over some parts check out RallySportDirect.com - Performance Car Parts Online fair prices and the chat feature is really helpful. Like Onboosti said keep it clean and when you start modding keep it simple. Flashy = attention from street racers and cops(equally annoying LOL)

Agree with keeping it clean on the outside. My WRX has taken so much abuse (keyed, scratched, and dented) a million times. The less attention you attract the better off you will be in the long run. Enjoy!

Welcome. I am also new to the site. Just bought my 06 sti a few weeks ago. Soo much to learn. I'm from modesto. I know a couple of other subies. We should all meet up one day.
