    Hey, I was just trying to get some exterior ideas for a black 09 wrx HB... I've tinted the windows, installed aftermarket fog lights and put in a sound system... Aside from getting a new paint job/ carbonfiber hood, does anyone have any other other stlyish ideas?? thx

    the black hatches look hott with those factory gold bbs. You may be able to get a hold of those from someone trading up to bigger wheels pretty cheap. And then some decent coilovers/springs and the factory lip is hott too.

    thanks for the ideas guys... its pretty much as blacked out as possible right now... im not sure if the 09 is lower than the 08 but ive had a few ppl already ask if I lowered it b/c it comes pretty damn low... you think smoking out the taillights would look good?

    STi spoiler for sure.

    Have you painted the headlights yet? Try something wild other than the murdered out look, blue wheels on a black car, hell even maybe polished aluminum.

    red out your tail lights, dont go "murdered out" its seems kinda played to me, do something original. i think candy red wheels look nasty on a black car.

    Put some springs, are coilovers. Give it a more aggressive stance

    Take care!

    I don't think the Factory STi BBS will fit the 09 WRX. Wrong lug pattern.

    Then focus on the interior.

    Tint your tail lights black.. not obnoxiously black. But that's one of my biggest peeves about the new one's is their ugly as all hell tail lights.

    You can also try uploading pics to the gallery here. The allowed file size is larger than just posting pics to a thread. In the banner at the top of the page, click Image Hosting and go from there.
