Words of wisdom: the wheels are a HUGE pain in the ass to clean. They also look dirty fairly soon after you clean them. But when they're clean, they look reaaaaaallllly good.

Don't worry so much if you scrape the lip a little bit. It happens to everyone. Any damage caused will be on the far underside and won't be visible unless you're under the car.

Get some PPF on the front of the car. I didn't and I regret it--there are a couple rock chips marring my otherwise-pristine car.

I know you said you're fine with stock, but look into replacing the lighting with LEDs (DiodeDynamics is great). I did fogs, turns, side markers, dome, trunk, reverse, and puddle lights with 6k LEDs and it makes the car look more modern and sleek.

1) Two words: WHEEL WOOLIES! Makes cleaning them nearly effortless.

2) It's an expensive piece and it sucks, but at least it's not the bumper itself taking the hits. I'm going to buy an extra genuine one and possibly a urethane knock off for future use if I do ever lower my car.

3) I agree on this one, but not everyone can afford it

So far mine is clean...

4) First mod I did was to change the fog light bulbs to Nokya yellows. Factory bulbs are ugly as hell...

Opti coat the front of your car, in WRB the small chips are very visible.

Thanks for the advice! I have been thinking about getting some PPF for the front end. The car has low miles on it and the front has some impacts but nothing too serious. I'll also take a look into those LEDs.

Stang70Fastback · 02-23-2015, 01:22 PM

Series.Blue owner here. My first three mods were PPF and LEDs for everything, lol.

If you replace the vanity mirror bulbs, get the DIMMEST bulb Diode Dynamics offers. I got the next step up, and my girlfriend opened it the other night to look at something and it pretty much blinded the crap out of her, lol.

or just save up for a real paint job when the factory paint dies off in 5 years or so.. no use opticoating a piece of crap that is the factory coat

my WRX is wrb and I'm so glad I didn't opticoat it.. a mate has his opticoated and it basically looked the same as mine after 6-7 years. The new method and materials for OEM paint just doesn't hold up. Thank stringent environmental regulations for that one!
