2000 bucks hawkeye
Hey, some of you might remember my previous car, 2005 WRX, white on white, I've owned it for 6.5 years. Sold it 2 months ago.
Back in December 2014 I purchased 2006 WRX with 108K miles, clean title, for only $2000 from 420 enthusiast. Car had damage to the front suspension and hood.

Once I started driving I fell in love with it. 2.5 feels way better than 2.0.
At first I was gonna fix it up and sell but I decided to keep it as my "next Subie".

I was lucky to find genuine Karlton fender flares. Props to Sum. Picked them up for $600.

They were made for 04/05 STI, I had to make them fit 06 WRX.
Front flares fit OK but rear ones required some fabrication.

I've never done that before but I wanna try, that's why I decided to wrap my car instead of painting it.
