The Original Thread

I picked up my 05 back in May. I've added a few things since, Pink springs w/ group n strut tops, 18x8.5 polished/black ESX by Acero wheels, K&N Typhoon, and most recently a V-Limited lip. I also removed the Subaru badging from the trunk.
Tell me what you think...

KoLRaNcH · 08-13-2005, 04:01 PM

Amazing how a little lip on the front makes the car look a lot better. I love that V limited...Nice car.

suren27 · 08-13-2005, 04:07 PM

nice-rice · 08-13-2005, 04:32 PM

shftat6 · 08-14-2005, 09:20 PM

Car looks good and I like the wheels (but wouldn't want to clean them).

DubyaSTi · 08-14-2005, 09:22 PM

Thanks for the compliments every one.

And yeah, the wheels are a PITB to clean.

A few small updates...
Installed a replica STi front strut brace, rear brace is on backorder...

And installed a JDM red hazard button

alphaSTI · 09-16-2005, 09:53 PM

Looking good! I love the front lip.

DubyaSTi · 10-06-2005, 03:05 PM

Installed a STi performance muffler today (the US version of the Genome, no logo on the tip)...install was simple...30 minutes tops with no help.
Also installed '05 JDM rear skirts, again install was easy, took about 15 minutes.
A few quick pics...excuse the dirty car.

heyitzkian · 10-06-2005, 05:26 PM

Thanks man. I like to keep things pretty simple, which is why the V-Limited and JDM rear skirts work for me...they add something without screaming out hey look at me.

Pinks, V-Limited, Genome are the modifications i plan for my car, too.
Looks great
