what should i do next? should i lower it? get aftermarket tail lights? i also was thinking maybe a pin stripe across the side to match the rims... im going to do my stage 2 tune soon and then gotta make it look better! thanks for your input.
lower it. Paint center of wheels black. Get '09 WRX bumpers and side skirts. Red film over tailights.
they're 18x7.5 i believe nothing special, got a good deal on them new as a package, but yea im thinking tail lights then lower then tint... the only thing is the front of the car dont really go with the rims too well, anything i can do with that without it looking tacky? ever seen a red subaru sign? ive just seen the pink ones.
yeah tune and exhaust will be first but im thinking for looks, i just sold my wagon with power this one i want to make it look nice and just be satisfied with mid 200whp
Of course, do what you want to do to it and don't let anyone tell you not to do something you REALLY want to do. But spend the time thinking about it, researching it, planning it and finally do it right. But since you asked here are a couple of things I would do to murder out a GR WRX. Tint the windows, lose the stock grill, get a sport grill and red pin stripe it and re-badge it with a red "I" badge. And put some red super hella tones behind the sport grill. And put in a stealth black Cat-Back-Exhaust to keep it murdered. Put in a downpipe too, but it doesn't need to be stealth. Do the CBE and the DP before the tune so you don't have to get it tuned a second time.

There are other WRX examples on NASIOC, I'm just not gonna look 'em up. You can do that.) How to red pinstripe the grill. The write up is on a '07 grill but you get the idea. If you need help I can answer questions as I've done it to my GR before. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1229738&highlight=gti+mod Skip the red pinstripe down the side of the car as you mentioned you might do. Tacky!!! And it doesn't go with the murdered out look.
That blacked out WRX looked bad ass for a 08-09. I would say worry about power mods first, but that may just be the DSM'er in me.
