When I first bought it:



Post Brembo swap on winter tires:

[dayrunner]

I was hit 3 separate times in the first 4 months of ownership in hit and runs so the hood, passenger fender and bumper skin got replaced and we decided to wrap the car:



Those that know me will give me s%*t for having the car in various stages of being wrapped for waaaay too long

[dayrunner]

I messed around with different wheel options:



And got some more vinyl done:

[dayrunner]

Then I got hit in a parking lot for a 4th (and final haha) time and decided to go back to black paint, only this time with an extra coat of clearcoat for that extra sexy haha. There's obviously more to the car than that as far as motor work and the 6MT/DCCDPRO swap that's been done but I'll save any technical upgrades for the future.

Yup it was 3M Satin Silver vinyl

Thanks for the compliments everyone, I certainly love this car and am planning some more fun stuff

[303GWRX]

[toph]

I would have as well. Who knows, I'm sure I will get tired of taking care of black paint so I might be back on the vinyl sooner than later haha.

I almost forgot to mention my favorite part of the car - my new personalized plate

Doooooo it! The more Fozzies the merrier they are tough to find in 5MT tho...

[SubyStud555]

Damn Kramer your Forester is sick! I hope to have one half as nice someday.

[Shortyyy]

Love the black on black! Was there much work involved in getting the 18 x 9 +35 G-forces on? just neg camber? Any guard rolling? Looking at the same for mine.

Negative camber and a fender roll - I'm actually running extended studs and a 5mm spacer now for et30 and I only get a liiiittle more rubbing. I hardly rubbed with et35, only with like 5 dudes in the car going around corner fast haha.

[dayrunner]

Ordered up the STI shift trim piece and an STI shift boot yesterday - looking forward to having that look more finished looking haha.

Current interior shots:




I'm over the Di-Noc look but am going to leave it there until I pony up the monies for the JDM black console...
