Joe's 2011 WRX thread - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

pearly11WRX · 01-02-2012, 03:47 PM

This is the start to the modifications on my 2011 WRX. Car is 99% stock with the only modification being the foot-well illumination kit that I installed a few weeks back. Today I'm heading to Shades of Grey to get the car tinted, which will be the first real $$ modification done so far. I'll post some pictures up of the the before and after, as well as the tint percentage I went with.

-Joe

Need two more posts to put up images so, here's one

..And here's two..

Went with 30% since I didn't like how dark the 20% was on my other car at nighttime (hard to see when backing up and when turning on to darkly lit streets). I like it, didn't have time for the taillight tinting, that will have to wait for a little while.

Next up on the mod list:

1. CS style rubber front lip
2. Headlight HID retrofit w/ angel eyes and bi-xenon projectors
3. Cobb AP
4. Intake and DP

I'm going to wait on lowering it, get some time out of the brand new shocks and springs before I throw them out/get rid of them. Plus, it isn't not really that high for my tastes.

Really loving these new subarus. Any interest in a grimspeed BCS brand new in box for a '08+ wrx?

s3xrapt0r · 01-03-2012, 01:59 AM

Ej6Mike · 01-03-2012, 02:00 AM

Nice! Looks good. Any thoughts on a full exhaust?

Erik@R/TTuning · 01-03-2012, 12:25 PM

Such awesome cars. I like them more with each one we see come in for AP tuning. If only I had the money and garage space. :D

Thanks dude, I will check it out for sure. I'm looking into the retro now, talked to Caesar at lightwerkz yesterday, about to pull the trigger on a retro kit soon.

Full exhaust is most likely a no go for a while for me. The major motor mods for 2012 will be a Cobb AP, downpipe, and some sort of intake (maybe). I guess an up-pipe will be required too, but I forget how these things work so more research is required on my part

pearly11WRX · 01-09-2012, 01:51 PM

Here's some new photos I just had taken this previous weekend. It was 71 degrees Farenheit, partly cloudy and an overall beautiful day at the lake. Photos were taken at Lake Hartwell boat drop-in, Clemson, South Carolina at ~4-5 PM.
