Naw~ The canyon is wide.

And I go at night and they have plenty of reflectors around.

You make it sound like I street race like some people on here.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already:

Replace the ugly USDM tailpipe covers with the JDM/Euro ones.

Also +1 on the clear-bra, this car sits VERY low and will be pummeled with debris during daily driving on US interstates/highways. Also having owned a WRX back in the day, I know how easy subaru paint chips

+1 on the paint chipping...I owned a black 04 WRX, and after 3 yrs the hood & front bumper were completely trashed. I'm considering the clearbra, but I don't know enough about it, and am worried about it looking bad.

I trust them to set their maintenance intervals just long enough to ensure the car makes it past the warranty. I had a car that the dealers were instructed to recommended transmission oil changes every five years, my dealer told me not to ever change the transmission oil. The transmission manufacturer recommended every year. Guess when I changed the oil? Every year. That transmission shift like it was new after ten years of HARD abuse and over 300,000kms.

20 miles seems like over kill to me, I'll be changing my fluids after the first 1500 kms.
