I think the color looks great!

I kind of want to get some decent rims to paint a bright yellow (really like the look of bright yellow with red/black), alot like the orange you have.

Too bad about the car! Did someone hit you?

Yea for me its either 1 or 2 cranks depends on the temperature.

@Fancyfootwork15 nice wheels size?

@Silver08Waggs Oh $h1t man that sucks ass! I hate people who are oblivious on the road i mean seriously how do you not see a BUS coming? Just realized im like 15 miles from you. NJ honestly has some of the worst drivers ever especially on the turnpike and parkway.

That sucks! At least the damage is all cosmetic - at least appears so.

I don't want to sound like a jerk, but it serves that lady right for running the stop sign

Sounds like a dying battery...


Takes me 1-2 times depending on time of day/if car was already driven.

I currently have some 2000 Outback 16's on. Sold my Gram Lights a few months ago. Will probably find another summer set or make the Rotas my summer set. Sold my Gram Lights because I got triple the price that I paid for.

See if the body shop can get you the premium bumper. That is the one OEM bumper for the 08-10 WRX. You may have to pay a little out of pocket for the difference in price.

For the hood, I'm not a fan of the non-turbo scooped cars, but that may cost you a bit more as there are more parts than you might think in the scoop, and they may not be able to re-use some of the parts from your hood like the liner, etc.

Go for the bumper, at least. those look nice on our cars. It may make you want the side skirts too.

Went to the body shop estimate was around $5880 and he said I can get what ever parts aslong as it stays in budget for what it's quoted

I have a 09 2.5i. I added the premium wrx bumpers and side skirts. I went to a collision place and they painted them and put them on for 800$. The bumpers cost me around 250 each and I bought side skirts off a member. I picked up a wrx hood. It's in process of being painted

I actually got them at the dealership. Since I bought parts before they gave me a break on price. The hood I ordered online from Subaru parts warehouse. Hood and scoop was about 500. The shipping though is what got me. 250 extra. Try to see if you can find one local.
