Took a couple pictures yesterday, these are from my buddy's camera. I haven't had a chance to process mine yet.

xluben: You've made me reconsider getting wheels with fewer spokes... Thanks.

Bizarre: That's jacked, homie! Get that other guy! Rape his bank! ANARCHY!!!

Redirkulous: Lovin' the CF.

Stanced: Noice.

Emperor: Lookin' excellent! I'm hoping to get a JNA lip hand-me-down soon. One of the few that I like for the 2011+.

olazy: Why you so clean, son?!

Yes! Pretty excited for it. But I really thought they would start shipping in April...Only thing is I was planning on a Crawford CC, but there is no really no space in that bay with that intercooler...

Guess I'll just really have to get around to putting the brembo's I got back together and on the car.

I was thinking I could have a leak where the midpipe attaches to the muffler or possibly the bottom bolt of the dp which is hard to get super tight but I can't feel/hear/smell any leaks so I guess that is just how it sounds. Maybe since you have an upgraded turbo it blocks out more sound

. Maybe the intake...idk. All I know is the car feels and sounds great.

Better pics soon

Have loved RGRs since my MK3. What finish are they? and where did you find them?

No, its the seibon carbon fiber wing, i just painted the sides red because i didn't think it would look right without a carbon trunk as well.

Good call, that looks great.

No, i had the wrx spoiler. I believe the stock one has 12 holes and the sti wing has 6. I had to get my trunk redone because none of the holes matched anyway.

Also, if they don't know most subarus are AWD, what makes you think they know that AWD cars need to be towed on a flatbed or if they would even check for the emblem?

I didn't say you did. And you're contradicting yourself in your own statement. Confused a little.

I'm just saying they should know. Emblems or not and should be held liable. That's all.

.MIGS · 03-22-2012, 03:43 PM

My passenger side window makes a LOUD noise when lowered a bit, does anyone else have this problem or did I install my rain guards wrong.

Doesn't sound as smooth as the passenger side at the start.

riored4v · 03-22-2012, 03:45 PM

Somewhat recent pic. Pretty much stock still. Have wheels, supertones, roof overlay all ordered. Front lip sitting at home and am waiting for the Subtle front plate deletes to become available again. Just need to figure out which springs I want and I'll be good for awhile again

Thanks. I realize they aren't really the "standard" Subaru style wheels, but I like them. I have heard that it looks like Honda wheels, which I believe they actually are, but I like the look.

It could just be that you stuck the camera right in the line of fire for the exhaust. It really does sound the same from inside the cabin, so it maybe just be the mic on the camera. With all my swapping, I never found the downpipe make much of a change in sound.

Could just be that it seemed really quiet compared to q300. There is definitely a noticeable change in tone. Could still have a leak though..idk

Jive Turkey · 03-22-2012, 05:04 PM

polished my catback today, thank god for steel wool.

little gif of my car.

and man do i love the rear fog.

xbeamelite · 03-22-2012, 05:59 PM

Got some quick shots today after anti-seizing my sway bars because they were noisy as hell.

Me and a friends 3.8 R-Spec

SWP is Sexy · 03-22-2012, 06:04 PM

Looking good. How did you do your tails? And wheel specs?

Jive Turkey · 03-22-2012, 06:07 PM

xbeamlite, is your friend rolling on varstoen's? if so i saw him at the manalapan meet last night.

car looks good, Hatch envy

xbeamelite · 03-22-2012, 06:26 PM

Yes, he was at the meet in Manalapan yesterday. He was telling me about a bunch of civic's getting pulled over and making a scene or something lol.

A vinyl shop did the tails. Its a thick vinyl, not like the ones from bluebat, although they work fine.

Wheels are Rota Gforce 18x9 +35, tires are 255/40/18

SWP is Sexy · 03-22-2012, 06:33 PM

They look good. I thought they were G-Forces, but didn't want to guess that and be wrong and start some rota flame war lol

anyways..

recently installed a JNA front lip on my 11

Are those genuine Subaru cross bars? What wind deflector is that? Sorry for the questions, I want to get roof racks but also want to eliminate the noise they will make. Also don't want Yakima or Thule cause I don't have money coming out of my ears for those.

xbeamelite · 03-22-2012, 06:47 PM

SWP,

Haha its all good. I'm not a Rota hater, but I am saving up for something else for next year. Just these look and work great for DD for now.
