Default 05 RS current random pics

taken a couple nights back.. couple new things here and there.

I have to write this in all my posts with pics. I know the car has to be lowered. I'm waiting til i move outta VT in february, then it will be done i can assure you.

messin around with some camera features and angles- sorry if they are dark!









quick list: i was trying to keep the car stock for a little bit while still on warranty, slowly started changing things
optima red top battery
disabled drl's
04/05 clear headlight mod, new bulbs all around
pillarless grill mod changed to-
painted jdm sport mesh grille
fog light covers
rota d2s
nexxen 225s
kartboy short shifter
removed intake silencer
greddy front strut bar
cusco rear strut bar
carbon shift knob
carbon pillars
project mu brake fluid cap
spt oil cap and battery tie down
tanabe hyper medalion exhaust
2 10" mtxs w. 400w mtx amp

exhaust still needs to be installed. next up is headers, intake, puleys, tint then lowering. wish me luck. let me know what you think!

i like the fog cover decals and grill but i don't think i'll ever like polished lips on gold wheels. what if you painted them blue like your car?

no, 92x have a completely different grill. that's a (possibly replica?) jdm dealer optional mesh grill, japanparts #153-002-007

alright so first off i meant to post "i know the first thing everyone is gonna say is lower it...!" i will be lowering it when i go to school in february out of VT. keeping it at stock ride height till then. Thanks for the comments! i get complimets on the car pretty often and the color gets envied from wrx owners that only have the wrb for blue.. people w/ wrb tell me all the the time. yes the hood release needs to be painted- i think supertones would distract from that pretty well. i'm staying with polished lip on gold for now. i'd love a set of all good or all mag blue to match the car. the car is my daily driver that i'm trying to have fun with. the grill is found on ebay all over the place as jdm grille. it wasnt cheap but its a different look. especailly paint matched to the car. thanks again for the positive feeddback.

oh and the tires ae 225/45s. since the rs is harder to make quicker with bolt-ons compared to the rex, i decided a handling monster would be a lot more fun. hoping for a nice drop, and 245s eventually.
