05' Notice how the lug nuts are farther away from the center cap. And the tire is more rounded now because it is the same 225/45 on a wider, 8" rim.
04'

To start with Sloppy Joe thanks for getting these along waited pics. I have to say the interior on the 05 is much better, but I dont like the exterior the fender flares look like something you would glue on and I liked the pink lettering pretty good too although I think the black accents the silver much better. In the picture above what lip is that because I would really like to get it. This is also my first post.

sloppyjoe, you are the greatest! 
Getting early pics of the '05 is quite the coup... Unfortunatley, you've now provided me with quite the dilema; I like the interior of the '04 better, and the '05 "flares" don't really do anything for me, but the mechanical upgrades on the '05 look like they'll be worth waiting for... Which way to go???
Maybe I'll just wait for the '06.
Again, excellent work!!

Isn't it ironic that when we were looking at the 92(WR)X interior shots we were seeing the 05 WRX interior the whole time and didn't even know it. I hate the big ***** on the center panel for the environment control. Don't care much for the new radio/CD style much either, come to think of it.

Thanks for all the pics Sloppy (especially the last two.) Personally, I really like the fender flare. I don't think it looks cheap at all. That is the great thing about people though, everyone likes something different! 
I'm debating what colour I want to get when I order in June. I'm thinking Crystal Grey/Silver or White/Silver (I really don't like the gold wheels). I think the white is just awesome to look at but the crystal grey could be pretty sweet. Can't wait to see a picture of it.
Thanks again Sloppy.

It's a roof scoop on the ceiling that aids in cooling the car especially those without ac like the spec C (at least I think the spec C doesn't come with AC)
thanks for the pics sloppyjoe. good stuff!!
