Thanks Everyone, I like the wheels a lot...I painted the wheels myself...They turned out pretty good I must say. Just clean them real good and use a primer and you'll have no problems

So this past week, I had my ECU Reflashed by Nate at Subaru Specialists Motorsports in Sacramento. I went ECUTek and the car is a monster now.
240 WHP
259 lb/ft Torque at the wheels.
The pull from that single change alone is amazing.
Next will be Turbo back Exhaust and Injen Intake. My Goal is to run 260 WHP and 280 Torque..We shall see...
Thanks again to Nate

It's right around $800, and well worth it, as it's the platform for great tuning.

Pretty much...haha...With that Torque hitting so low, the car feels like it weighs 1000lbs less,,,I love the responsiveness and low end grunt..
