Cool! I haven't heard of someone doing three levels of tint, but it looks great. I have my tint appointment scheduled for tomorrow! Doing MD legal levels which is 35% all around.

Edit: I drive about 25% stop sign at every block city (extreme city) driving & the rest is fast expressway. On backroad highway drives where the speed limit is 45-50mph I see the best #s provided there are no hills. Fast speeds & any inclines kill MPG on this CVT. |

When you guys talk about your average MPG, are you doing your own calculations or just stating what the display is telling you?
The reason I ask is because the loaner 2012 Impreza I had was getting 29MPG average in the city based on the car's display. Anchorage is only about 11 miles wide. The car had just over 1k miles, so brand new. I didn't get on the highway much, but it did get up to mid-30's when I reset the mileage 1 mile before cruising on the highway. I got mid-20's when I went tearing up a steep, winding road (Hill Side, where our rich people live) and purposely thrashed the pedals. That little MPG meter's needle never saw +.

But let's leave it at that & carry on in the MPG thread. Last edited by SleepNMnky; 07-04-2012 at 03:11 PM. |

I just finished my debadging. The big Subaru and the Impreza are off. I'm keeping the AWD and Sport badges. I see that the Subaru letters have USA in them so I might look for a way to reuse those. The imprezza badge might look good on the license plate. I think the rear looks much cleaner and classier now.

I tried taking off the front bumper today, but two clips on the corner of the head lights wouldn't budge (peeling from the wheel-well, forward). I want to take off the badge, repaint it red/black, and plastidip the grill. Anyone know of a way to take it off without breaking the clips?

Washed my car yesterday and noticed a couple things: water drained out of some of the doors when I opened them after drying the car, and this morning when I raised my window after using my parking pass, it came back up wet.
I remember reading about others having the same issues, but I can't remember if a solution was found. With search disabled I'm hoping somebody that had the issue can chime in. |

For me they replaced my felt strips. I don't think it was the felt strips themselves but rather the fit/installation of them that resolved it for me. |

Great-looking cars, all!
Roadfly did a review on the '12 Impreza, it was posted today. Love her or hate her, Emme Hall did the review. I like her - she's funny. The reviews aren't super-technical, but they're short, fun and informative enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ws8...eature=g-all-u |

Does anyone know if they do make a brake light for down there? That would be cool.
