I don't like the wheels only because I can't afford HRE's...Car looks great you make the payment so do what you want to it..

first, there is no big wing, I like that. Although a small wing would add to the car.

Rice:
---------
1. Sticker on wind shield
2. New emblem
3. Muffler (not exhaust)
4. front bumper
5. Color looks too much like all the primered ricers that can't afford a paint job
6. Removed front lisence plate
7. STi vents on front bumper of a WRX
8. Mis-matched color and hood (I like a cleaner looking car)

A custom, solid color paint job would look nice, like a shinny black with some air brushing? No decals. That's just me. I'm not the kinda guy that tries to make my every day car look like a RACE car.

they're HRE's not sure what model, read back through the thread, I'm sure it's in there.

playa7: No, it's the sticker across the top of the windshield, or some odd placed sticker, like his. Just doesn't appeal to the eye. What I really think is funny is when a person has a sticker from the company that they have products from. I'd only put that on my car if they were paying me. As for the paint job: The only two tone car that' I've seen that looked good was a Maybach 57 in San Francisco. (Forest green and Khaki tan)

Don't get me wrong here guys, I'm not trying to dis the car. But when you say it looks like every other subaru, I agree, it doesn't. It now looks like the ricer Integra's and Civic's that have a carbon fiber hood. The only differences is, this car actually has A LOT of GOOOO. I'm sure that there is some other color than that primer looking paint job that could have made the car look better.

As for stock exteriors, yeah I do. I don't buy a car unless I think the stock exterior looks good. Many of those body kits that people put on their cars don't do a whole lot. Sorry to bust your bubble. So unless you're going over 90mph a lot, you're not benefitting. Then aerodynamics, seriously, how much more help does the car need? Are you going to be going over 140mph?

This WRX isn't bad. The body kit isn't barely riding the ground like some I've seen. I don't blame people for lowering their car, I actually think it's a great idea as long as it's not unsafely low. Like this car. It has a nice stance.

sorry for the novel.
