Congrats on the new car, nothing like it in the world! Are those wheels 15 or 16's? In the first pic they look really small compared to the proportions of the car?

Not sure if your a Sooby fan or just have one right now but their current cars are getting huuuuge and based on the 2013 Impreza, its not getting any better IMO and they're just not "quirky" anymore IMO! It all started with the Tribeca, they had that trapezoid front end and then they made it look like a Pacifica (mainstream) and once again, IMO, they've never been mainstream......until recently.

BTW, love the color and your hard work makes that paint look its best, what did you use?
 
NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CAR!!!

I stare at my avatar daily and dream of having one. Having that shop install that spoiler was a nice touch.

I like your style 05xrunner :dblthumb2:
 
they are 17's I think they are a little small..i wanna get 18's Its a nice little car. Its weird getting use to it from having my '10 Mustang GT before it with some parts on it.

I really didnt need to use anything as they didnt touch the car per my request on pikcing up..paint was pretty much perfect..I just gave it a tarX, IronX, and a light clay..I did go over it with the Crimson Hydrotech pad and some 85RD but I dont really think it was necessary
 
Grats on the subbie, now get to modding!

Where at's around Pitt are you from btw?
 
ahhh just finished the Fire over Ice combo on it :)
I live out towards Jefferson hills 51/Century 3 area
I wanna mod it but I am a little worried..I am going to get the nameless axle back but not sure if I am gonna go any further then that for now..I really want to do headers, DP, AP but I just read so many times about these things popping and Subaru likes to deny warranty even if you keep the car stock.

Nice car!! My friend has a used 2011 WRX hatch and put some nameless cat back on it. The dealer didn't have a problem with it he said. I think they will if you change the DP though.

I waited a really long time to do my stage 2 upgrade ... now that I have it, I wish I had done it a lot sooner Im the MAN
 
I've been working at the same place for the past 18 yrs in Jefferson Hills lol. Right ontop of Large hill on 51, BAW Plastics.

Warranty is always an issue but catback will not be a problem, probably could do intake aswell. And yes, stage 2 with ap, dp is a massive improvement, buddy of mine did that and made a big improvment. Not to mention the factory tune is not the greatest for that car.
 
I say go for the cat-back/axle back for sure as well as an SRI, little breathing in and out doesn't hurt anything, right!
 
lol BAW plastic is like 1min from my house. I cannot do any typ of intake without a tuner and thats where I get worried for warranty..I am not worried about putting on a cat back or axel back since that wont do anything against warranty

So far I miss the roar it made with that V8 and the exhaust I had..also miss the trq at any speed..hit the gas and it plants you and goes..the Subaru hit the gas it kinda is like ladeda until the turbo finally spools. Also I have to say I HATE the clutch in this thing..it feels like total garbage and also this Hill assist BS they put in that I cannot turn off I utterly hate with a passion. Ohh and the shifter isnt all that smooth either compared to others.

Suppossedly when you change your gear oil if you switch to Subaru extra S or one of the motul cocktails then the shifter is suppossed to get a bit smoother.

The next mod for me is an accessport. hopefully that will help with engine response.

I'm with you on the hill assist. I don't mind it but I wish I had the option to turn it off like hte STI has.
 
That baby looks vicious! Really love how glossy the paint looks. Congrats on the new ride!
