^^ Looks great. Would look even better without the SUBARU and WRX IMPREZA on the trunk, I should know.

Thank You. I have been looking for the same badge as the front. The stars badge, as soon as I get that badge I will take them all off except fot the STi one.

Looks good. Any future plans yet?

Umm so far I have the 5Zigen 3" Fire Ball Cat-Back, and I plan on doing the Helix DP for track use only. Some kind of Intake, not sure which I want, CARB Legal, and something that does not affect the turbulence inisde the intake too much. COBB AP, TMIC Hoses. I want to get to 300WHP, also the V1 Limited Lip, and 06 Rear Diffuser. Throw in some Pink Springs maybe, and even get some different wheels. The ones that came with my car are a little messed up, previous owner hit the curb a few times. Oh yeah debadge the rear, and put on the Star badge on the trunk like the 06's have. Also getting either the EDM or USDM STi floor mat, I have the crappy grey Impreza ones on there now. Other then that I am not sure as to what I will do, as for the car is awesome as it is now, and will be shortly in the future. Thanks.

Here are some more pics of my car. Debadged trunk, and also Apex'i Turbo Timer. Also a pic of my 5Zigen Fireball Cat Back. Is this just the stock 04 shift knob too???

RedskinSti · 01-15-2006, 02:06 PM

No that is not the stock shift knob

***Nachos Libres*** · 01-15-2006, 02:08 PM

Yeah man, that rear looks nice now. And that shift knob is the optional factory shift knob upgrade, at least it looks like it.

East Bay STi · 01-15-2006, 02:13 PM

Cool, good to know. Also when doing the debadging process, I opted to use the blow dryer, bad idea!!!!!!!! I burned my pinter, and middle finger, adhesive gets really hot, ouch!!!!!!!!!! Anyways I ended up using a combination of Goof Off, Elbow Grease, and WD-40, the WD-40 allowed me to simply scrape the adhesive off with my fingernails. All in all it took about an hour or less to do. Still waiting for my Autospeed front plate cover to come in, hopefully tomorrow 1/16/06. Also thinking about getting the 3/10 overlays too. I think that the 6/10's are a little too dark, any thoughts on that?????? Also was able to put on the GP Moto Elbos Delete too, sorry no pics of doing the swap

Thanks for your guys comments, and help too

^^ Hey man, just be glad you didn't get hasty and scratch your paint on your trunk like I did mine. I had to get another badge to cover up the scratch that I put on it while taking off the WRX Impreza, but my trunk got stolen shortly later, so I made sure they didn't put any emblems on the new one (and I added the STi one myself).

How the hell, does someone just steal a trunk from someone's ca

Might as well steal the whole thing and get more parts off of it, just my $.02. Also sorry to hear that about your car, I really hate when people have to mess with other peoples cars.

***Nachos Libres*** · 01-15-2006, 02:25 PM

^^ Yeah, and I didn't mean to go off topic in your journal, but I had told you badgeless would look good and didn't want you to think I was talking about something I didn't have experience with. I quickly moved after that incident, and nothing would happen like that where I live now (I have a personal garage that the STi stays in anyway). I don't think these idiots knew how to steal my car, besides, if they did hopefully the immobilizer would have helped.

No worries, you were not off topic there. I find it interesting when people say what they want to say. Well I hope nobody tries to Jack you car again. I am debating on what to get next, Tanabe spring with Group N top hat, and the other top hats, or try and get my pillar taken off the grill. Also working on getting some Torques too.

East Bay STi · 01-19-2006, 06:02 PM

Received my front license plate overlay. Black Anodized, I know, not the same w/o pics. Just got to see how long I can drive my car with plastic plate on the rear, and temp sticker in the windshield. Received my license plates yesterday.

Okay, finally getting ready to do my suspension mods. I know I told myself I did not want to lower another car, but what the hell. I have heard great things about several different springs out there. JDM Pinks, Eibach Progressives, Tanabe GF210 04 Spec, Tein S and H springs, and also Espelir ASD's. I want someting that will ride lower, and still give me a little more control around corners, also be able to reuse stock struts. Also want to figure out which sway bar to get for the rear. Last but not least, when upgrading the sway and lowering the car will I need to run newer end links?? My b-day was this last Sat, so I have some money that I can put into my suspension now. Just depends on how much these things will add up to

Thanks for your time guys.
