I have the TRD wheels on my car and love them. Much better looking than any of the other factory wheel options, with the Series.Blue STI wheels being the only other ones that actually look good IMO. And agreed, a smoking deal for a set of forged wheels.

When I had my leash on the gas cap, the wind has blown the gas door into the nozzle, and the gas cap fell out of its holster. Were it not attached to the leash, the cap would have careened to the ground without hitting the car. Instead, due to the leash, it hit the fender. To prevent this from happening in the future, I cut the gas cap leash. Now, when I take the gas cap off, I set it in the holster in the fuel door, and do not have to worry about this happening again. I'll admit, I never expected so many people on this forum to not understand this concept. And I definitely didn't expect so many replies to my comment. OP, disregard my advice, I hereby sentence myself to being silenced for voicing my opinion on a modification I thought was worthwhile in protecting the fender. I will not be responding to any more comments on this subject, this is really off topic and getting to be nonsense. I apologize for suggesting a mod I thought was worth while. |

Totally not your fault here. It's been pretty silly how many people have focused negatively on this suggestion and as the OP, I have to defend you sharing your experiences and opinion within this thread. Gotta admit, taking a critical look at that gas cap leash I am not really seeing the benefits outweighing the annoyance either. You should start a new thread called 'Free Mod - Gas Cap Leash Delete', say how to do it and the benefits, then say nothing more and just see where that goes |

Yea, I've had the car for 3 years+ now, and have had it through all sorts of windy and bad weather while filling it with 93 or e85. Have yet to have a problem where the wind causes the fuel door to shut onto the pump making the cap fall out.

I visited a friend yesterday to get a loose side marker fixed and had a chat about wheels afterwards. At the value end, he suggested Enkei RPF1. It's available in much wider range of sizes and colors, and costs a little less for equivalent size. It's made with a hybrid process that isn't totally forging but still lighter than the 17" forged TRD by a non-trivial degree. And the 18" TRD is totally out of the question, forged magnesium is already attainable at that kind of price. |

Welcome to the family,
My only advice, is leave your car the way it is. The car on TRD springs and sways is the best and at it's most simplistic characteristics. Just drive it, don't garage it. Go down the rabbit hole later on down the road, and I mean....LATER ON DOWN THE ROAD!

I'm amazed this is your 44th car .. and your 1st toyota/subaru ...
I don't even think I could list 10 cars in this budget range that I would bother purchasing before the twins

Combination of two things... 1) I am old and most of the cars I've had were before these things even existed 2) I've not really bought cars based on a budget range for some time, I tend to just get a car based on what I need/want at the time and what it seems worth to me at the time A few of the cars I've owned (not in order of ownership): 1974 bmw 2002 race car 1974 bmw 2002 non race car 1976 triumph tr6 1987 Honda Civic (first car, saved up my entire childhood for this one) 1984 vw rabbit race car 1984 porsche 911sc 1991 ford escort 1994 jeep wrangler 1997 honda civic 2001 vw jetta 2003 audi a4 2005 honda s2000 2005 bmw z4 2005 bmw m3 2005 bmw m3 convertible 2005 bmw 330ci zhp 2007 ford escape 2008 bmw 335i coupe 2011 bmw 328xi 2011 porsche boxster rs60 spyder 2014 bmw m235i 2015 lexus is350 fsport 2019 toyota 86 Now that I say that, I just realized... lexus is a toyota so I guess I lied. |

No question, this is the best thing to do. Probably spend my money on autocross and gas. I did buy this to drive the wheels off it. Once they fall off, I will get new wheels. |
