@AER
25mm rsb is kind of overkill haha. What year/body style of the WRX are you getting struts from? I might need a stiffer replacement if these RSR springs blow out my stock shocks. I've considered 2015 shocks but I'm not sure if they'll fit. Awesome list though. Sent from my iPhone using NASIOC |

I'd say 20mm would be the max you'd want, maybe 22mm if you want a really stiff ride. 25mm seems crazy.
I definitely need more stickers (only one for nebraska-subaru at the moment)! I also really like the mesh grill. A leather steering wheel is also at the top of my list currently. |

@obviously Tyler
I have the stock struts from the 2011 wrx. I haven't put them on yet but I'm 99% sure they will fit. I'm gonna put them on by the end of March so I'll post pictures then. I have rode in my buddies sti with stock suspension with the 25mm rsb and the ride felt like what I want, stiffness wise. Im just tired of the horrible understeer that this car has. Maybe once I put on the struts and springs I'll change my mind. |

Nice ride imprzMF14, like the flat black hood. IS that plasti-dip?
Also is your sport mesh grille the OEM one or the ebay knock off? I only ask cause there's no badge. I would love to get the grill, might just black out the chrome wings on mine for now. Also have mine in for service and asked the guy if it would void warranty with an exhaust or intake system. Apparently Cat-Back is fine, unfortunately the CAI is a no no. Now if some muffler company would sell a damn bolt on Cat-Back or Axel-back for the sedan I would be ecstatic. Guess I'll have to go for the universal install. Anyone modded their sedan's exhaust yet? Some info on sound or type of muffler and your review would be much appreciated. |

I love the crank. you're going to love it. it does make the throttle happier and it revs a lot easier. just feels like it wants to GO. I plan to add the accessory pulleys soon and hope that will give some power gain.

I have crank and accessory pulleys. Haven't installed them. They actually don't give extra horses but they do give back any ponies lost with the wait of the oem pulleys. You lose about 3.5 ponds with the light weights.

Hey revin-it02 and ronjr8102, will this boomerang light fit our cars?
http://www.subispeed.com/led-headlig...x#.VPhriPnF9Hg Would I need an adapter to get them to fit? |

The physical light will fit, however we are talking about the harness.

I was reading on Subiespeed and it appears that the LED is interchangeable with the stock halogen, I think the harness is if you wish to set the boomerangs up as DRLs. They actually have some pretty good instructional videos on the website. My only question is if you are just doing a straight swap would you need to add more resistance to the circuit going from Halogen to LED, since the draw would be less on the LED.

I heard it has the same effect as steel braided brake line. Someone already said the new WRX version fits and if you look at Perrin installation instructions the strut tower is the same. |

So I went ahead and ordered the OLM LED HEADLIGHT BOOMERANG BULBS from Subispeed.com and a set of Black Carbon Fibre with Blue Stars emblem covers. The lights should work seeing as this image is one of their customers cars who had installed the DRL harness.
Figure for a small investment I can see how the LED's look in the boomerangs and if I like I will order the DRL harness after. |

that plastidip on the top of the headlights looks so good! did you take the lens and housing apart or just tape it up and spray it on?
i've done a few things to my impreza. i bought it for my wife to commute to work. she works at the foothills of a mountain so she needs awd plus its far away so subaru impreza was about the only choice. she loves it, my only complaint is the seats. i have an '11 outback and want to put that kind of front seats in there. anyway here's what i've done to the impreza, which i call the pineapple express: rally armor mudflaps tinted windows debadged moved "sport" badge to interior just in front of shifter subaru upgraded tweeter kit pioneer avic double din nav stereo ez lip stubby antenna seat black hole fillers black mutegi lug nuts what i want to do sport grill big spoiler make the headlights look good, maybe that plastidip will be enough remove tiny door dents from our kid plastidip wheels gold 215/55/17 tires delete roof rails jdm rear fog light |

Who's headlights are you referring to? If mine I just taped and sprayed although I probably would have taken the other route after the way mine turned out

Hey bradze, not sure if you're asking about my headlights either but here goes my answer anyway. I just used masking tape and followed the body line along the top of head light and then masked along the top of the orange side reflector. The line along the "eyebrow" took a couple of pieces of tape and some scissors to get the line to follow the curved edge of the chrome inside the housing. Once masked (and by masked I had newspaper extending over the front corner of the car to avoid over spray) I did a light 50% coat (still see through) of flat black Plasti-Dip and let it dry for 10-15min. Then I came back and did a full wet coat (not so much that it drips but obtains 100% coverage) and then immediately pulled off the masking tape. By pulling the tape when the paint is wet it will ensure you get a nice clean line along the edge of your paint. If you let it dry before peeling you will most likely pull off some of the paint you wanted to stay. Whole process only took me about an hour total (masking, first coat, dry time, second coat, unmasking). The eyelids are still looking good after a couple of months in the Canadian winter climate but I think I may redo them so that the black outlines the Orange side reflector. Anyway sorry for the novel.

Hey Tricknipple, I would love to dip my chrome fog bezels. Just not sure how to remove them. Did you have to take your bumper off or is there an easier way to do it? Nice ride by the way, really like the '15 bumper profile.
