    Definately tint the taillights, but you should tint with a gunmetal tint so it will match your car. Also, you should upgrade the speakers if you don't mind spending the $ I checked bestbuy and they cell Alpine 600 series 6.5" speakers w/o a tweeter for about $100 for two front speakers. Nice car BTW I test drove one of these at Morries Subaru and that thing was fast and it handles well also. I'm envious of the handling - since my Bugeye is mediocre.

    Put a dark tint on your lights. I have Harmon Motive kit and it worked well.

    Wow, that looks delicious... even if it is a wagon. :laugh:

    But seriously, sharp car, man.

    If you're interested in selling you're stock rims, I may buy them for my snows.

    Nice car. I wish I was in your position. I am going to get the 2010 but I can't even order it until July 2nd. Then I need to wait 6-8 weeks after that for it to be delivered. I am not sure if I am going with Black or Blue. Very similar car to what I want to get though. Short shift, Prem Package, SPT Exhaust...

    Subwoofer, not sure if i want to get this? Has anyone really heard how it sounds? Is it really true that they put it under the driver's seat and not in the trunk.


    Wish I could but I am going to have to skip on the bumper cover, mesh grill and front lip. I am thinking I want to tint the windows but I am not going to have the dealer do it because they can only do the back half. maybe it will be an x-mas present to myself. also debaiting on if i really want to draw more police attention to my car. my freind just got a ticket for tinted windows.

    nice car!

    Try not to feel to bad. I traded a 2.5i in. It was stock mint 2006 with 28k miles. Huge amount of factory warr left on the drivetrain. Nice to be the dealer with a totally stock car like that low miles and warr he did not have to mess with.

    Yep looking better but needs some help. Told the wife great car but had to de-uglifiy it. Safety handling reliability all there. BUT I love 06-07. I looked at 3 used STi and 3 new wrx. Wife said get the new I WILL BUY THE RIMS AND TIRES....:laugh:

    The 08-09 takes really bad pics. Like most subaru's you see it in person and it grows on you...

    With the Prem package i have 10 speakers. Better then my 2.5i but still sounds kinda lame. Close but not quite right. Only thing I think i need is sub and plug in is under the seat.

    O-O Was tinkin dark red on the tint not the dark smoked for tails. Do you have links. The first mods are all gonna be cosmetic. I think I like this.

    so i was thinking about holding out for the prem package... does the 10 speaker really make a difference? i am trying to decide if i want to hold out for the prem package or not.

    the stock speakers I have suck!! I have never had such bad speakers...speaking of that, if anybody has a trick to taking door panel off to replace speakers it would be good to know. usually in pas I break a plastic clip and end up having a floppy door panel...
