@Kostamojen has been having ARP studs strip and snap, so your mileage may vary.

Yeah, I think it's all up to how you drive & how much you take off your wheels

They seized. Didn't strip and it snapped cause it was siezed...

The stock lugs/bolts are the ones that strip.

Wow that one looks amazing

I don't hate it either. I find the new 2015 WRX and STi look between "okay" and "hmm nice" to me.

Sound dampened the bottom of the trunk and the right door with this:

http://www.jcwhitney.com/bonded-logi...&filterid=u0j1

I used an adhesive in the trunk, but then with the door I realized that there's really no room for the insulation to go anywhere inside the door so I just duct taped in in the various places it needed it.

The window switch was rattling when the music was turned up, so I investigated. I thought that simply duct taping all the way around the switch box on the back would probably resolve the rattle.

I was right - no more rattle. And the insulation made the door speakers sound completely different (and better).

Ran out of time this evening, but now that I've done one door, it won't take long to do the other one. Then to the front floor boards and the underside of the rear seats. I think I'll probably stop there for now.
