Got a new camera, perfect opportunity to show off my whizzle.

Sweet whip dude. Gotta respect the DBA/EBC combo. I'm running that for my rears. The SS lines make a world of difference, don't they? Rims aren't my favorite, but that's me. Same with the monster scoop. But nonetheless, good to hear you're happy with it.

how do you like the red stuffs? im thinking about getting those too.

I love the wheel color/car color combo, but the wheel design is the only thing I really don't dig. The tires will get bigger when replaced, the 16's just don't fill the well quite right.

The brake setup is awesome, but I have a slight braking vibration 40-30MPH (always have, not due to aftermarket parts). Compared to my wife's '93 SS all stock, it's a huge difference.

The only thing I want to ditch is the seats, I've been trying to find black leather power seats from a Forester.

I've only had my red stuffs far a little while but I love them so far. Hard to tell how much of an improvement they are due to all the other upgrades I did at the same time, but they are nonetheless an improvement.

Looks really good. Can tell that car is well taken care of, and really loved.

Yeah, I'm used to it by now, I forget how big it must seem.
(insert random "that's what she said" here)

The 17s do fill it out nicely, but the RS wheel style goes with the car better.

Honestly, John . . . I think your integration of the GDB STi hoodscoop was very well-done. If it's feeding even more air into the IC cavity, then that's even better. Frankly, I miss seeing my scoop on a daily basis. One of the many reasons I'll likely be buying another STi in the next couple of years. ;)

curious about price of seats and the car...

Seats are gone, she's now rockin' '05 WRX seats. Price, lookin' for about $6000 on this board, just over $7K locally.

She now has a fully treated moonroof, will NEVER leak unless you smash it with a hammer. And a new climate relay ;)
