dibs on black raspberry

keep me and kyle in mind if you need advise on where to go, but ill be honest with you. pay off the car before you start modding it. if you blow your motor (ringlands like to let loose on these motors too, FYI) it's going to set you back $3500. just keep that in mind.

im not modding the motor or getting into tuning until i pay if off. going to work paying it off while i make it look pretty(ier).

thanks for the advise guys.

ill be using castrol edge.

I dig the JDM fog lights. Needs projector retrofitted headlights though.

STI already has true HIDs, who cares if they aren't projectors.

You should definitely clear and paint your headlights. Or buy mine. The insides are painted Obsidian Black pearl to match the body color.




Picture showing all the amber pieces removed:

^i want!!!

im not getting the actual projectors, those look gay.

I'm going to be selling my headlights soon, I want to buy a brand new set ($800 of wallet rape) and clear/paint them.

imo, so worth it.

i need opinions. do i stickerbomb, put only a few stickers, or only put forum stickers on?

stickers would include- four doors for more whores, boosted, im not drunk just avoiding potholes, maybe a hellabroke ballin aint free, awdsome, i daily drive this b1tch.

opinions on more?

GPF.net represent son

dont do all the tacky stickers you see all over the internet. it's seriously played out. the ones i have on my car are fairly classy or original. keep it to local shops, clubs, a couple of off base decals, etc.

dont be like every other ricer kid out there.

^you steered me away. and thank you.

bought a few though

i need help thinking of things i could ask for christmas! help me out with opinions.

front lip
roof spoiler
foglight covers (for shoots and long drives)
colored lug nuts
money to a catback
turbo timer

any other ideas?

dont buy cheap lug nuts, especially aluminum ones.

You don't need a turbo timer. Just don't drive the car like a madman and shut it off while holding it at 5K RPMs and you'll be fine. STis (and most modern turbo cars) use gravity and coolant to slowly cool down your turbo. Once you turn off the car, coolant keeps cycling through your turbo slowly and cools the turbo sufficiently. The coolant does a good job of cooling the turbo and a timer is literally a waste of money.

^well it was just a possibility considering i will be autocrossing the car.
