I do want to come out to Washington sometime in the winter when I can afford it to do Dirtfish, and hopefully some ice racing.
the subaru experience i'm referencing is in wisconsin.

I didn't know of Subaru Experience, but I was generally speaking of doing something just like it whenever I get a chance.

LED installation

So, I'm about 6 weeks into ownership, less than 600 miles on the clock and already making minor tweaks. Replaced side markers with JDM clears fitted with amber LEDs, and LED lights all around (all interior, license plate and reverse lights). I ordered the Intec high mount that I will install after getting tint applied.

I have the JDM clear side markers with LED on order also.

How difficult is it to pop that clip to get out the old markers?

It's not difficult, but I would still watch a video of how to do it. I lost the spring clip the first time I took one of mine out.

It's not too difficult to get out. The driver's side came out and went back in on a single try. The passenger side came out easy enough but took some adjustments to get the spacing right on the "A" clip.

After driving around with a single exit nameless muffled track pipe paired with my Gruppe-S UEL headers being really loud everywhere, I decided to put the stock muffler back on. It's pretty fun being silent, I know I'll be putting my louder system back on eventually but for now its nice to be able to zip around without turning as many heads due to noise.

Reading between the lines (silent bits..), were you booked for noise breaches?

Picked it up from the shop after their 3rd attempt to make the front half of the car the same color as the back half.

They’ve failed and I’m done with them. Guess at this point I should just rice the hell out of it...

Can’t really see the difference but I’m sure it’s more obvious in person. Why is it different shades in the first place? Also, be sure to document your ricefication here. I’m interested lol
