In addition to the center console plaques, Yospeed does custom door sill engravings. Shoot him an email to see if he would do one for you.

Sure, it's not "exterior" per say (as in only you would see it most of the time), but it'll put a little extra smile as you get in. It'll also make the car "your own" as you posted.

Thank you all very much!

I'm fairly new to cars, as this is my first 'performance' car, so there are many things listed that I don't know what they are. Which means I get to do some research on them! I look forward to it, thanks again!

Why wish, when you have the internet? Project Mu, StopTech, WinMax even Hawk, also if he's willing to go used, higher end pads are constantly put on sale on the board. This isn't hard to do.

If i am OP, i wouldnt spend any money. save it up for one good part.

de-badge your trunk. that's the first thing I did and it looks extremely clean. of course, I left the subaru logo on and just removed the letters. best thing is that it is completely free.

I don't know. If they did they never said anything and I haven't seen it around again. Could be somebody from the SWO Facebook group but I don't go on there much.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Best bang for your buck mods. Depending on the size of the sticker you can get anywhere between 5 to 15hp!!!!!

I actually already got a Berk Muffler delete and Smoked Valenti tails (I love both).

I was thinking about lowered springs, but 2 things:

1) I live in Michigan, and I would probably have to remove them come winter
2) I feel like the ride would be much bumpier/harsher than stock. Is that true?
