did they just rename the model as sports for this year, or do ya get other upgrades? from the website it looks like there's only the XT and XT limited

anyway, they should've had a WRB turbo forester from the start looks great...

That IS the forester STI front end. The only difference I can see is that the STI models have the STI logo on the bumper and the grill...

Dude, you have 2 sweet rides now! That Forester is nice out of the box. Have you seen Adam's (LIC) Forester? You both have nice Foresters.

Thanks. Adam's is pretty nice but last time I saw it he had some scary looking 19's on there. =) Jeremy's (Crucial) was pretty sweet too. Damn shame he sold it.

That is a sweet forester. I like the new front end, looks meaner. I did see one a couple of weeks back by the target by union landing. I doubt it was yours.

Sooo... I got my tires mounted and tried to install the wheels on the car and.... bzzzt. No f-ing way.

So for anyone who wondered, 18x8.5 48mm offset w/ 255/40-18 RT-615 will NOT fit the forester. The tires hit the strut body.

I'm hoping they will fit once I install the coilovers this weekend; otherwise I'll need to buy some spacers.

I drooled at the same year/color combo FXT Sports at the local dealer. Very nice car. That is what I would get.

Again, very nice.
