Default T.I.M.'s DD STI

.. I originally planned to build up my 2.5 RS, but I figured i was better to start w/ a better platform. so I traded her in for the STI. Couldn't be any happier.

Now my main goal for the STi is to be a subtle dd (in terms of looks & performance), suitable for roadtrips, and occasional trackdays, (so no; rotated, catless 3.5in, 18x10s, etc.). ...until I finish school.


Here she is all stock
