I have mixed feelign about that color. I used to hate the old yellow, but now after some time seeing it...I like it. Right now, I think the new yellow is to plasticy for me, but I bet over time I will start to like it. But none the less, this isn't a flame...because its not the looks that make this car soo killer..Awsome buy. Do you have any plans on body kits and other exteror mods?
Good luck

For myself, I've already ordered a front liberal grill as well, and perhaps a version I or II front lip. CF wing extenders will be done as well for exterior. Rims as well after a coilover setup.

Well, let me start by saying that I put ALOT of miles on my cars and that if my car is down for a day, it really hurts my job. I had 42,000 miles on my '02 (Yes 42,000+ actually). So as much as I would love a TXS kit or a stiffer suspension set-up, it is not feasible for me right now.
I will be honest and tell you that I love Subarus and all cars for that matter. As far as wrench work, I suck...I am incompitant. So, if I drive my car (in city traffic, not highway) all day and something goes wrong, I can't fix it myself.
I also love racing (F1, WRC, etc)....but I don't autox my car (yet). I would like to take it to the track before any suspension mods. Also, I can not compromise ride quality any further. It is very stiff for our crappy Philly roads (I have 215/45/17s) as is. I think I may try Eibachs and upgrade the shocks at a later date when some good aftermarket ones come available. (STI pink set-up is very expensive, and still, so we'll see).
With all of those factors, I will end with this.....the factory engineers are much better than me, so I am hoping for an STI next year.
Since the pic: STI hoodscoop (no I didn't get the vertical supports painted), probably will get Eibachs and an STI V1 lip after the new year. Maybe UP and DP also.
BTW: That Blaze above is serious.

For myself, I've got some cash to spend. Already have an Avc-r, Blitz BOV. Will be getting an uppipe/dp/exhaust as well. I also plan on upgrading the turbo, injectors,pump. I want 300 whp as my goal.
