Did a little blacking of the interior with an MT shift knob, Perrin drift turn knob, door, vent, and wheel trims.

This is about as good as I get at garage space utilization.

I performed the oft-derided procedure of dipping my wheels. Clearly, if you know the twins then you know its a cheap mod and maybe that colors how you see it (or maybe not). In any case, I like the way it looks and its stuck fine for almost two years now. I used a satin paint over the dip to give it a bit of a different look (an idea stolen from another member). I didn't perform it at the same time but by now the car is wearing B2 wheel spacers (20/25). Also, right before dipping I got the Prius tires changed out (finally wore them down) for Sumitomo HTR-Z III's. Cheap tires but I like the feel over the stock tires for sure. Also, I had apparently installed my Berk muffler delete as well. Again, a suitable exhaust mod to run for a while if you just want more grunt and decibels and don't intend to pair it with anything else. I may get a catted UEL header in the future but I'll probably swap the catback at that point so it's not obnoxious.

I got me another fur baby! Everyone needs a copilot.

Some random shots around town.

Swapped out the stock rear sway bar for the 08 (iirc) WRX bar. I think its a 14-15mm jump, maybe 16. I was pretty happy with the car's handling before but would get the rear end to roll on sharper, faster turns. This bar is a very good match for the stock suspension system and stock front bar. Now I am very happy with handling and don't really see a need to upgrade either bar in the future for daily driving or light canyon/trackday purposes.

Well, after five years I finally noticed the cam plate leaking a bit. Not terrible, but enough for me to shell out for the Velox cam plate with the little plugged up hole to allow connection to their AOS kit. Very happy with the product and no more leaks as of yet.

This quick little mod really stiffened up the brake pedal. Highly recommended for the price.
