Default ddcha's 2008 OBP STi (aka "ugly black toad")

I bought mine slightly used back in Jan '09 with ~4k on the odo. Haven't done much to it yet. Gonna wait until the car feels slow before I get more serious about performance mods. This is the best car I've ever owned.

Day 1:




As of 4/15/09
- RA mudflaps
- OEM bodyside moldings
- DIY painted tails - duplicolor metalcast
- ContiExtreme Contact all-season tires

Nice whip! I agree with you, your one of the few that isnt complaining about something already. I love my 09 just like I still love my 05!

not one complaint here either. Especially with the modifications

I do complain about a lack of funds for more mods and more then one track day a month though!

BTW nice ride!

no doubt red coloring the tails NEEDS to be the first mod to any GR lol. The car becomes so much more mature, clean and just better imo
