$6 for 2 cans of paint and $3 for sand paper.. Not too bad..

Well they're not rota grids lol. They are XXR 522's (a lot of people hate on XXR they can suck a D) they are 17x9 +42 (rota grids are also available in this size) the tires are 235/45/17s and the suspension is Fortune Auto 500 coilovers. To be honest the only reason I went with the XXR 522 over the Rota grids was because the XXR's were more concave.

I will post picture of the lip on lip action however it will be around the end of the week, beginning of next week.

Yeah after I posted that I figured they were XXR's. Really look forward to more pictures because i've been interested in the Grid 17x9 42ET if infact I do decide to swap coils onto my Subaru. Not slammed like you, but lowered.

This. I like the white electroluminescent better. But how can the ODOs be matched?

Alright I know I posted this before but I was still deciding if it was worth keeping, but I am too content with my Wrx. So I am selling my tactrix cable. $150 shipped. PM me if interested.

I am assuming I will need to order new gaskets for each of the mufflers to the rear pipe and from the rear pipe to mid pipe. Can I reuse my spring clamp or do I need to order a wrx one? Is there anything else I need to order?
*rear pipe not pictured

I really appreciate your help and this is all new to me.

I have this and already stated all the necessary parts. Just do an SPT search and it will come up. Or browse through this thread. I don't wanna re-post. You are going to need to buy the kit from the dealership.

EDIT:

Here's all of your answers for you..

Where did you pick up your XXR's from?

Also, did anyone do a write up on their MC brace?

x1 Donut Gasket 44022AA123

Also, to attach the mufflers together and that to the mid pipe are gaskets needed or can I just use RTV?
I'd use a gasket if I were you. Take a video after install if you are keeping your stock mid pipe. I'm curious how loud they will be.

New EBC Rotors and Brake Pads are on and the car is coming together pretty nice.
Next purchase is the suspension then wrapping the car. Here are some pics of old to new.
