The mod bug hit me pretty quickly, but i started small and researched ALOT. The first thing i did was a debadge of the trunk and moving the 2.5rs badge to the front grille.

Pic's from the freak snowstorms we had over winter:

Next i painted the foglights yellow with stained glass paint (ignore the front plate, it was a gift that was later broken on a snowbank, oops :mrgreen::

moar I like simple mods =D

But i quickly wanted more so i got a replica JDM STI grille and a prodrive front lip:

And a pic with my buddy Arthur (a few of you on here should know him):

Next i got a little bolder lol, so i Koji'd my headlight housings and darkened my fogs. Opening my headlights was definately scary but very rewarding:

Next i had to get rid of my monster truck status, but i also wanted the car to handle well too, so i bought brand new Swift Springs and Arthur helped me put them on:

I'd like to go lower but i know that with the winters and roads around here it's better for me to go function over form. I still scrape my lip tons already :roll:.


This is pretty much how my car sits as of right now. New wheels soon though :mrgreen:

Nice RS, ridiculous STI lol

Okay guys, i need help on my wheel color choice.

I'm pretty set on my wheel choice, which i will be getting by October.

17x7.5 Rota Torques on 225/45/17 HANKOOK VENTUS V4 ES H105 94W

I'm 99% sure the wheels will be ordered from Wheeldude.

But i can't decide if i should get bronze or gunmetal wheels. Gunmetal would be very subtle but bronze would stand out just a little bit more. I know both are sooo overdone but i'm trying to have a clean, tastefully modded Subie.

Any thoughts?

Thanks, yea his STI is awesome.

I believe it lol, get them in gunmetal. It would look cleaner and more aggressive IMO.

Alright, yea i'm leaning more towards gunmetal at the moment, but i feel that bronze would offset the car nicely, i have no idea haha. Thanks

Gun metal would look good.

Yea i'm pretty sure that's what i'm gonna get. Thanks!

Alright, well i'm getting my new wheels and tires in about three weeks! woo! I decided to bump it up to 17x8 torques with 235 hankook ventus h105s. But, now i can get them in hyper black. So, hyper black or gunmetal??

any pics of the hyper black?

Go hyperblack. I've never been much a fan of bronze on silver cars.

Steel grey would look nice, too.

hyper black ftw!

Looks like it's coming along, I am going 17x8 g forces in hyper black, awesome color. Good luck with the build. I respect you did research and didn't just throw on random stuff.

This is what hyper black looks like:

Yea it is a great color. Thanks, i'm trying to do it right and as clean as possible. However, it's almost on the verge of bland so i want to get something just a little flashy and i feel like some nice wide hyper black torques fit the bill, and for $700 shipped who can complain?

Also, i am getting a hawkeye v-limited replica that'll fit nicely right under my prodrive lip, it'll look great.
