I got my WRX about a month ago, wasn't going to get winter tires until I drove it in the first Ice/snow mix. Even in wet weather those UHP Summer tires don't work worth a darn. I'd spend the money. I almost wrecked a few times in the snow because of the Dunlop SP's.

I got RallyArmor mudflap ordered from Boston Motorsports from these forums. I paid about $150 and installed myself during the winter tire swap. You can always try Victor. Do you want rally looking mud flaps or more stock looking? Victor probably cant help with the rally look (aftermarket). As for tint, I have had several cars tinted at http://qwtint.com/ I have always been happy and plan to take our WRX to get tinted there in the spring.

I'm not a big fan of the wheels, but they were only $85 at Tire Rack. There is NO WAY I am putting steel wheels on any of my cars for winter!
My winter mode upgrades consist of winter tires and mud flaps mentioned above as well as an ebay front lip. |

How hard was it to install the mudflaps? I've seen numerous how too install threads and it doesn't seem too bad. Just curious how ya felt about it. I've done plenty of mechanical work, but not a bunch of body style work...

Not bad at all. Rears are a piece of cake.
Fronts need a little more time to pop off the lower sill and fender trim, but not hard. Since I swapped wheels at the same time it was pretty easy but I don't think you even need to remove the wheels. It sounds like you know how to work a screwdriver/nut driver so you should be fine. |

You gotta remove the wheels. I tried without and it's impossible.

You have a floor jack? You're gonna have to pop off some side panels (the fender flare w/ the WRX insert), but they just pop off and snap back on real easy. I put them on without taking the wheels off, but my buddy had an elbow/90 degree screwdriver.

With my car being lowered I couldn't even get the screw in position with the wheels on. I didn't think about that

winter tires are a must, even with awd summer rubber wont cut it in the cold temps and will be dangerous in the snow/ice. lots of nice new cars!

thanks. i actually just bought a set of enkei rpf-1s in silver 17x8.5 +40 with 245/40 hoosier rains. thinking about trying to trade them for some rota grids. im wanting to go a crazy color with the wheels, just to give it a shot.
do you have any mods done to it? |

New wrx owner in Cincy, seems like most of you are North but I'd be down for a meet if we got enough people. Btw I just bought and installed RA mudflaps and its def. doable without taking your wheels off, if its not lowered that is. And they look sick
