    Congrats on the new car! Leave it stock and under warranty for a while, then go crazy once she is broken in.

    CR Kai wheels are awesome! Love the ones on my soon to be gone Subaru. If Matt had offered to buy them, I would have considered. :p

    It drives, it handles, it stock, it gets great mpg, it dead reliable = Matt very happy.


    That pretty much it Matt?

    Things are awesome! Currently averaging 35MPG on road trips and about 30 on day to day driving.

    Handles like a dream, gets tons of attention (in a good way).

    I'm just unsure on how to proceed for the mod process...

    I vote suspension and then wheels.

    I can't remember but how are the brakes?

    brakes are great.

    My thoughts:

    Suspension
    exhaust/intake/tune
    wheels

    I'd start with the driver, the consolation would be a classic 2WD Subaru with all new brake system, new CV axles, Ipod compatible and cold AC. oh a full size spare and 42mpg.

    You should do this 3M bra...I paid to have it done on my daily drive, a 2012 ct200h, which I drive up 75 north everyday and it has paid for itself...the 3M has the front, the side mirrors and the door handle cups.

    Dissappointed morgan didnt finish editing the video while i was gone. He said he had to take care of paid gigs first. I did edit atleast half of it the day before i left though and it was looking good. Dont have a computer with me though to finish it here though.

    update! got the exhaust in and I'm enjoying every minute of it! :D

    I also ordered a pair of hood struts from Import Image. I installed them Thursday afternoon and one of them broke off the mounting bracket yesterday. :|I'm currently waiting for IIR to get back to me regarding this problem. Needless to say, I'm not very confident in this brand and may end up waiting until another, beefier set is available.
