Jarek's 2005 WRX aka Fat Black Pig
Hey, I've been here for a while but haven't really did my "Show and Shine" yet.
I purchased my 2005 OBP (Obsidian Black Pearl) WRX back in March 2009 off Craigslist for $9000 cash.
Car was lowered on Tein S-Tech springs, had STI exhaust, side skirts and STI spoiler.
My first mod: Gold Rota G-Force rims 18x8.5 and Toyo Proxes-4 tires

I fell in love. Car was so perfect (still is).
Couple weeks after I got my WRX, I took it out. Sierra Nevada Mountains, Mitsubishi meet (lol) and big one- Canada.

One day I was driving to work....hood latch failed. Bent my hood, luckily roof stayed intact. Scary stuff.

Cracked windshield:

Ended up getting STI hood with scoop for pretty cheap ($200).
Had to drive hoodless from Sacramento to South San Francisco:
