    Hi,

    I decided to go back to a Subaru after a legacy being my first car (a beater one, mind you). Went through the honda phase and back to a Subaru. Decided I wanted an all wheel drive car/hatch and went with an Impreza. Picked up an 08 Impreza 2.5i premium and here I am. WRX was going to be $200ish insurance, STI $300ish which made me turn away from something like that.

    Anyways, here's the ride:

    All thats done so far is 20% tint. Thinking about exhaust, new rims/wheels, and HID lights for now.. Open to opinions/ideas though.

    Cheers,

    Thanks, no mods other then the tint.. Don't know what I want to do to it I mean it's no WRX or STI. Really open to ideas though, as I just picked it up a couple weeks ago.

    screw rims go suspension!!!! a tight handling ride is way better than rims. GO before show. stock rims look tight anyways!!! HID are noice though, exhaust is a must in my book. NICE RIDE! i like.

    PM bullwinkle and get that tuned!

    You should look into the suspension! Im sure some 08 owners could chime in on what to get and how to do it... We can always work in my garage/driveway

    OP, nice looking car, congrats!
