of exhaust do you have?
I have basically just straight piping from my axle back sounds mean! gets a lot of compliments. maybe someday ill take a video clip.

Me too, but I have a stock exhaust. Those cats just wouldn't quit meowing...so I gutted the bastards.

Man I dig the roof lights. eBay speical? Are they bright? Looks good. Swrt is right a out it being alot of lights. A second battery in the trunk would give you full dependable power to those baby's. I like how clean the top lights are.

Almost got one of my friends to throw up after a quick rally run haha. But my alternator is almost shot, the battery and "brake" light come on whenever the rpm drops below 3k. I guess the extra lights did it in... but thats the price I pay to go rally style.

Unfortunately when it comes to rims it's more about function > form on these cars
as most rims bigger than 15's look like bling rims. I'm not a fan of my WRX rims though haha

I do agree with this statement, that's a good way of saying it. Although the 17's seem to handle better with low-profile summer rubber, they just look incredibly blingy to me, and the bronze WRX rims I had before really just seemed to fit the style of the car better and the color went really well with the paint.

This was a couple days ago and shows my old wheels well:

Yeah, some idiot had painted mine World Rally Blue and then painted over that with
Autozone black so it is what it is. I love the stock color. It matches so well with the
05's Crystal Gray Metallic on the WRX's. Looks freakin good on that thing too. I wish
the previous owner hadn't gotten stupid with mine.


As you can see, they look pretty cheesy, but they get the job done.
Funny thing is he painted over the powdercoat without sanding first so
I may be able to bring it back to the original color, which I love on these.

Well, not so much what I did to it per se, more like what a dickwad neighbor did to it.

Image

Parked in front of my friends house and watched the dude back straight into it as I sat in the car, he got out of the car with a big smile, "didn't see you parked there, I keep telling them not to have people park there" laughed, then told his wife to take care of it. Piece of shit, definitely going through insurance now.

Shitty deal. Should have told him to open his fucking eyes. I'd be so pissed. Luckily I have a spare set of fenders and doors for my car in the same color so I'm good to go if it's a front end collission.

I think I got them on ebay like a year and a half ago.
I got the big ones. The 5" ones. And your car's looking
good, man :D I love that basket. I wish mine had roof
racks.

That's a tough situation with it being your neighbor.

Its not a tough situation at all, if its a lesson its an expensive one anyway because his insurance rates are about to go up. Not my neighbor anyway, its my friends neighbor
