So I've procrastinated long enough on creating my own member gallery for my car. I purchased it back in May of 2011. So, it's been a year. It is my first Subie, and I have been loving every minute of it! I don't know why I wasn't in one before this! It's a 2007 UGM 2.5i Impreza that I purchased from Exeter Subaru.

List of Mods thus far:

Exterior:
--Matte Black Plastidipped Hood, Roof & Trunk
--Rally Armor Basic Mudflaps
--Painted Bronze Rims
--Subaru OEM Aero Bug Guard

Lighting:
--Apkarian100 (The Lighting Guru) Blacked out headlights w/ custom Audi Style LED lights in "warm white"
--DDM Tuning 4500k HID Slimline Kit

Car Audio:
--Kenwood KDC-X395 CD Receiver
--Alpine SPS-510 5.25" Coaxial Speakers in front doors

--Sound Ordnance P-40 4" Rear Speakers
--Sound Ordnance B-8PT Single 8" Amplified Flatsub under passenger seat

--Sound Ordnance M2100 75w 2 Channel Amplifier Under Driver's seat
--EFX Amplifier Wiring Kit 10-gauge 250-watt w/Patch Cord

Performance: (HA! It's a 2.5, remember?!)
--WRX Axleback
--WRX Header

Suspension:
--Torque Solutions Pitch Stop
--Epic Engineering 22mm Rear Swaybar
--Kartboy Rear Endlinks

Future Mods:

Whiteline Front Swaybar?
Kartboy Front Endlinks?
WRX Wing (or a mine's replica lip)?
20% tint on rear windows, 35% on fronts?

That's about it! I think I'd be happy at that point!

Custom WRX Axleback w/ Dynomax UltraFlow SS Muffler (has since been welded correctly, this pic was just mocked up for show and tell purposes!)

Looks OEM, but sounds much much better!!

Comments good and bad welcome! Actually, bad comments will get you killed, so keep them to yourself! J/K!! :rofl:

Thanks for looking everyone!

Tinting the front window in Maine is technically illegal though. I wouldn't want to pay for something only to have an inspection station tell me to take it off.

Flange and o2 bungs came in today for the WRX header. O2 extender will be in July 3rd.

Oh, also had right rear wheel/hub assembly replaced, rear strut assemblies replaced, and front stabilizer bars replaced. No more suspension clunks, but it was a hit on the ol' wallet!

You don't need an o2 extender just seperate the weifang for the rear sensor from the harness, it'll reach, that's what I did
