    To quote Ice Cube:

    I'm still just enjoying finding the limits of the car entirely too much to talk serious modding at the moment. Some sway bars maybe before the end of the year, and wait to see what Race Comp cooks up in the lab suspension-wise.

    I know I SHOULD go stage 2, but I just worry since Troncolli threw in a 60k B2B warantee for free after we agreed on pricing.

    More to come of course, but she needs a name. Any suggestions?

    enjoy the new toy... and if you don't mind me asking, how much did they "let it go" for?

    it was the car taken to several "shows" so it had 1500 miles on it.

    they took 10 grand off the msrp (the only reason I even considered getting one)

    edit.

    I actually bought it on july 16, and yes, i took it to SoG to get the WVE#15 done on it. (and a compression test which checked out perfectly fine.)

    Looks great in white! I'm sure they'll be cooking up plenty of mods for the "08"s over the next couple of years. I agree, enjoy it like it is for a while! NICE!

    Nice to see more '08s. You should do the sways and springs if you plan on throwing it around. If I could start over I would have done that right away.

    If I'm ever in the area, of course I'll drop by....but being that I live in the middle of nowhere north ga, it might be a while before I can get back down to civilization.

    Still, being up here does have its perks.... (see mountain runs)

    Don't I know it. I actually would like to get a set of the gold 18" bbs that were an option, but Subaru likes em too much. (700 a piece, w/o tire! :grr:) I'll just watch EBay and Craigslist to see if someone wants to get rid of theirs.

    My ideal wheel would be a GOLD Enkei RPF1 18x9 in a 114.3x5 lug pattern, but alas, such does not exist without involving a custom coating job from a wheel shop.

    But does anyone have any suggestions?

    I like this look on white cars, nice and clean:

    Kinda heavy, but they're 19s. Price is right.

    OZ Ultraleggeras have that Subaru OEM look. I think the gold is getting a little played out IMO. (And I still run the gold BBS for daily driving :p)

    Now with more pictures!

    Had a few moments and the actual drive to put up some more pics.

    I have since added a perrin quad tip catback (polished stainless) and I like it overall.

    I want to add the oem fog lights and some hella supertones when and IF it ever stops raining.

    Sweet ride man! I love the white. I'm looking forward to the day that I can get an Sti.

    As for the wheels. I got a set of '19 Motegi Racing Track lites; they're pretty sweet- gunmetal and only 8 kilograms each. Also like the factories powdercoated any color u like but I chose black.
