And if noobs can't take the sarcastic response to the same question asked almost daily, then maybe the Internet is too scary of a place for them.

I'll tell you why that's a bad attitude:

1. The search function on this site sucks the world's largest balls with suction stronger than the vacuum of space. It sucks so bad that using it can cause vacuum sores if you sit too close to the computer when you attempt the search. Some people have attempted the search and actually had their whole bodies sucked in, never to be seen again. They're trapped, bouncing around between the giant balls inside the system forever.

You can use the Google "site:" tag to search much more effectively, but most people don't know that. Helping them learn how to search is a better response than "DUH SURCH NOOB!"

2. The world is not static, particularly in the case of a new vehicle like ours. There are new products coming to market all the time. There are old products being changed or discontinued. People learn new ways of doing things. So "DUH SURCH NOOB!" in many cases doesn't make any sense because the information available via search is already outdated.

If a noob comes here and asks, "How to turbo?", yeah, tell 'em to go do some reading. But I get a little tired of seeing the surch noob response on every fucking question when it doesn't help anybody and only demonstrates the poster's ability to suck as bad as the search function.

My cat is static, he makes sparks when he runs on the bed when it's dark... That's not what we were talking about was it?!

It's just been the same five noob questions since this car came out.
1) is it slow against xxxx car?
2) can it fit 255/40/18?
3) does a RB kit cost $500?
4) what are crickets?
5) when will the STi/turbo version come out?

Now if someone has a focused question and gives plenty details that's one thing, but these fly-by-night accounts made on a whim to ask to the same questions every year gets kind of annoying.

But yes, I agree this site search function leaves a lot to be desired.

I thought about putting some on mine either along the front of the door or in front of the rear wheel but I think it will look too busy. It's not like they would be for cheap parts... perrin, greddy, stance, ecutek

Forget about stickers.. You need vents. Vents everywhere. Vents on fenders. Vents on roofs. Vents on trunks. Vents on windows. Vents on doors.
