You might have to wait a bit as some models are coming into production, but be patient i am sure they will be sick.

I could think of a lot better mods for $900.

I'm still really curious what Subaru calls "Aluminum alloy hood", as listed on the Canada website. I know my 05 hood didn't have any problems with rust and was already *very* light. The '08 hood definitely seemed heavier but, according to the SCI site, it's still an aluminum-alloy hood.

I actually like that the hood scoop seems truly intgrated...gives it a much smoother look...imo

a magnet sticks to my 08 "aluminum alloy" hood, tried it in a few different places.

do you really need the carbon fiber ? no. could you use that money towards something that could make you go faster or maybe even stop sooner? yes.

to each his own its your car mod acordingly.

wow! good find! im not a big fan of kits but that chargespeed kit is friggen badddassss

the front spoiler/splitter is much more agressive looking than the spec-v. and the rear diffuser is real sublte and not all crazy. a very mature and understated in appearance. i need to get this!

I agree, if it werent >$1k then I would seriously consider it ... I wonder if we could organize a group buy to drive the price down. I've never done one. Is anyone familiar with this?
