I probably won't do this stuff until mid year at least though. We need to get more money in to savings first

I've already had a broken foglight on my WRX so I would prefer not to have more. Regardless, I have other stuff to spend big money on through the next year (like a wedding) so I'm not gonna go drop a couple thousand to look cool for you

Foglight covers do not add performance. You can get things like a RSB, strut brace, and clear corners (not performance but do more for looks than fog covers) for ~$35 a pop. No need to drop big $$$.

I'm not sure what the paint code is for the RS. It's on the plaque in the engine bay I'm sure. And, uh, negative on the CF hood unless it's painted. And if we do a CF hood, that is a LONG way down the road.

I was pulling out of a parking spot and turned a little too soon. So soon, in fact, that I drove right over a curb.

No damage to wheel or tire but I didn't think to check the skirt. I should probably have my alignment checked again too because I smacked the curb pretty hard.

I had to back over it again to get outta there.
