My Subaru 2005 STi Modifications

Yes, this car gets driven every day. Yes, I bought it new in 2004. It gets groceries, delivers kids to school, and I depend on it for work.

I have links to pics on my site for most modifications. I usually have lots of pics. If you want to see more, simply backup to the directory in the URL. I have file browsing enabled and there are lots of pictures of each thing.
