I just picked this baby up last night. 2008 STI w/ BBS package in Aspen White. Obviously, we've got big plans for this car - but for now, here are some pictures

She's a little heavy... but I'll get that worked out.

Let me know what you all think.

wow man, congrats... she is beautiful... only wish i was picking one up 2

uncle lewie · 12-13-2007, 10:04 PM

They brought back Aspen White?

Awesome. The 07 white isn't nice at all. Sorry 07 sti owners you got the short end of the stick.

**tyler_sti** · 12-13-2007, 10:14 PM

Nice!! I know you guys will make that thing a beast! Have fun!

Epine · 12-13-2007, 10:21 PM

well that about answers the question who will have the first sti on this site.

Iguana · 12-13-2007, 10:50 PM

aspen white FTW. I'm glad they brought it back too.
Although satin white pearl wasn't bad either, but it was ...pinkish. and girly...and suitable as a limited edition color.

so the 08s aren't that much heavier than the 06s.

steiner · 12-13-2007, 11:42 PM

Awesome. I love the white on gold.

Ah it's a relative term. Imagine you're AMS or Buschur posting pics of your brand new Evo X and the scale shows 3600lbs! Ouch.

Pastapuck · 12-14-2007, 12:09 AM

Looks great guys! Can we get some pictures of the interior too?

stickytires · 12-14-2007, 01:49 AM

White on Gold FTW!

NewGenSTi · 12-14-2007, 02:25 AM

how do the seats feel as compared to the last generation sti?

PuccasBad_STI · 12-14-2007, 02:35 AM

she is very nice... hmmm... I wonder if the front seats on 08's are interchangable with 07's

T0rqueless · 12-14-2007, 03:08 AM

oh man I'm anxious to see the results of this little project. subscibed

**Harman Motive** · 12-14-2007, 06:20 AM

Some interior shots as requested:

We've installed the JDM grill and lip and test fit a number of wheel/tire combos already. Pics coming later today

Looks awesome. That top mount intercooler looks much bigger as well.

Best of luck with the build!

2slow2curious · 12-14-2007, 06:31 AM

Seats look even worse then before.
