My mind hadn't even registered that!
Also tints, chrome on the fender garnish (pretty sure that's not OE, mine's black), clear corner markers, maybe lowering springs? (hard to tell with the angle)

This guy went to town on this car with the mods.... :drool:

I ordered a brembo big brake kit. The (end links part B below) have come undone and I will need help ordering the right ones. More to follow. I need to respray the front end and the rear wing.

Not sure about Subaru's cover in terms of how good it is or how long it lasts. But I went with a custom Covercraft cover and absolutely love it!

I went with custom WeatherShield HP. Seems that the price has gone up or maybe I got it at a deal, I don't recall. I paid low 300's for it. But depending on where you live and where you store your car, you can choose the cover that suits you. I chose this as I experience all kinds of weather, from mild to brutal, so I wanted something that didn't tear up easily after a storm and what not. I also really wanted it because of the matching paint color, so that hyped me up. :D

Most covers get some bad reviews out there including these. But out of all the searching I did, I found these to be the best for my needs and some of the better car covers out there.

EDIT: Actually, to edit my post, I bought it from here, so maybe it's cheaper here.

You can use the live chat if you need help configurating it or asking any questions about fitment.

Also as a side note, I have the aftermarket STI bits on it, and a pretty big front lip, and it fits over it all nicely.

Thanks for the help... :thanks: Ordering seemed fairly easy.

I ordered these rims below but can't find the right tire size at Tire Rack for the fronts... :mad0259:

I was going to go with 235/40/18 and 255/35/18... :iono:

As long as you're running aftermarket coilovers, these should work. In terms of your rim size/choice and tire size/choice, it just depends what you're going for. If you're looking for styling, this probably suits your needs, but it will make the car a slow boat and change its dynamics. If you're looking to do some forced induction in the near future, this could be a good way to go.
