I spy with my little eye...

something wide.

 

Probably the new ride and drive dealy getting set up.

 

geez...they had to add an extra window on the back door.

 

I really do like that wider body style. I wouldn't mind that on my 09

 

Yeah, they added that window in 2008, its nothing new.

 

ughhh had never noticed it...

 

That chrome strip on the windows needs to get off of the wrx, asap.

 

So is this in mtka or what...?

 

No...

 

Agreed. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to check the part numbers for a corresponding black trim.

Thanks for the pics. It bodes well for the new STi sedan

 

thats pretty sick! stocked to see the sti version

 

nice BMW rear bumper. lol. looks WAY better than the 08 generation wrx.

 

Yay the wrx has fenders again. I aprove!

 

I want the front and rear bumper for the new STI on my 08 sooooo bad. I guess it's a good thing that I need to replace both...

 

The one thing I didn't look at was the brake calipers... Did they go back to 4pots or stay with the 08-10 WRX brakes? The new rims are nice. The 4 tip exhaust is not my favorite. The new black strip on top of the grill is ok, I like the old color (dark broze-ish) better. Same interior. Nothing changed that I could see. Other than the sweet new bumper on front and the wide fenders, the rear bumper falls short a bit IMO. I think they sharpened too many edges/corners after taking all that time and trouble to round it out. Still no tinted brow on the windsheild... fail. Still the chrome strip on the trunk... fail. Still no rear wiper... fail. Otherwise, an over-all nice car. I'd rock it. Needs wider rims/tires to go with that wide stance. Needs factory option lowering springs. Missing the two-tone on the rear bumper. Can't wait to see if they change the SPT exhaust to be 4 tips or not.

 

I wonder if price is going to go up for this 2011 WRX? I sure would like to get 2011 wagon to my garage if price stays the same

 

Apparently, the 2011 got 17x8 rims. The rear chrome piece on the trunk isn't chrome anymore, it's matte silver.

Same old 08-10 brakes, but it did get Bilstein struts.

 

I like what's underneath all that ugliness.

 

wow.... Thats really lame... one thing i always loved about subaru is that you could put sti parts onto a wrx. no more legos.

 

Seems like that was the case before. Hubs different, rotors different, lateral links different, different brake calipers, different steering rack etc.

 

I wonder if those parts will fit on older STIs?

 

i thought that all went away when they switched the STi to the 5x114 hubs. you could still swap all that stuff but you have to swap ALL of it.

 

Using STi parts has always been a game of finding out which combination of parts will work. Nothing new here.




The chrome strip at the top of the door looks fine. Subaru has been doing that for a long time. Just not recently.
