Saw you driving on Center Valley Parkway today around 11:30. I was heading out to lunch w/ coworkers, not in my car. The car and wheels looked good going by!

I just checked and no IT postings at this time. If I see something pop up, I'll certainly let you know.

Not a shot at all, just pointing out that the flaw in your criticism is that really any mod is easy to do. But hey to each their own.

The thing is, Subarus are a wildy popular platform. That being said, there's a lot of tried & true mods that become the "norm" because they work. The reality is most of it has been done already, and its hard to truly stand-out without doing something very custom. But that doesn't mean each car isn't unique, with different combos of mods. Yeah sure its all intake, dp, exhaust, wheels, etc. But its still unique to the owner and the car.

It comes down to its your car, your money, your desired outcome...do what makes you happy!

And I'm not on a soapbox here by any means--this is coming from a guy who's car blends in with the crowd a lot more than most. I like to see all kinds of Subies.

Well said. I'm a fan of any Subaru, even stock, as long as it's not riced out or cheaply modified.

If you like to blend in you would love my car. Stock everything, even the stock boost gauge. Only exterior mods are a slight drop and an sti scoop.

That, sir, is called sleeper!

I'm not saying I like to blend in, just saying that there's cars that stand out a lot more than mine. I'm in the middle somewhere--don't want to look stock but also don't want to draw too much (or the wrong kind of) attention.

Like I said, to each their own. And like Greg said, I like them all as long as they are not riced out.

well im not trying to rice my car out in anyway...the wheels are professionally powder coated and look excellent in person, pictures do not represent the metallic flake in them at all. But the color was definitely brighter then I thought it was going to be even though I like the color, but im doing other things to the car to help it blend in a little better

[Khellen]

I couldn't help it Nick....haha

I don't think anyone is accusing you of ricing out your car...at least I'm not. Your wheels are unique and from the quick glance I saw driving by, they look good. I'm sure they look even better up close in person.
