Mines 856 for a year. Not too bad for a 21 year old I think

Country financial. I think I got a discount for good grades (lol) and for having 3 cars in the household on the same account with them

What's everyone's opinions on a carbon fiber front fenders for our cars? Would it look decent and match with our series blue aero? If someone with photoshop skills put together a picture that would be great.

I am not a big fan of CF all over the place, but I plan on getting my STI spoilers wrapped in CF. I think the plan flat plastic looks odd with the textured plastic of the bumper and 'stach.

Anyone who lowered their suspension go with just changing the springs and not the shocks?
I'm just looking to close the gap.

Which one did you guys go with?

I have not decided on the lowering yet. Got all of the non-LED lights around the car swapped over to LED's, next up is the interior light conversion, and wrapping the spoilers in CF. Then I will look at the exhaust and possibly lowering it. Hard to believe the baby Blue is only 2 weeks old.

Looking for something to change that's not too expensive.

Anyone change their side marker yet?
Changing out the side markers was one of the first things I did. I picked up some helix clears from a group buy before I even had the car. I did read some posts about people getting condensation in their aftermarket side markers so before installing it I put a little bead of silicone all around the glued edge. So far so good.

I also did what many would consider sacrilege and took my nice new clear markers and painted them. I went with a yellow translucent Krylon spray paint to go with the yellow overlays I put on the fogs. I really like the end result.

I like the blue; what other pieces have you changed and do you have any updated pictures?

This is what happened in my case.
Insurance was a little more because VIN came up as Special Edition.
