It's a shame Subaru only made the STI available in the damn wagon body.

Guess he spent all his money on the other toys and forgot tires.

And what the hell are the things behind the grille?

i am al for fitting larger tires, and having a nice agressive wheel, but what's the point when you wider tire has a smaller comtact patch and you put the cheapest tire on that you can buy.

a car is suposed to handle better after you spend 3-5k on suspention mods wheels and tires.
It's all for "decoration" y0.

I don't consider the rotated mount GT35R a "Looks" mod.

Call me a crazy, but white intercooler pipes look pretty good.

Can you elaborate one what you are referring to here?

I think you may be a bit mixed up on the details of tire dynamics. No disrespect intended.

IDK, I the the hatch is much better looking than the sedan, the sedan is among the blandest shapes I've ever seen on the road.

The things behind the grill are painted hella horns (the suby crowd likes these horns consider the stock ones we have sound like the road runner).

I'll take "bland" over the car the OP posted pics of anytime.

I'm sure the owner dumped a lot of money into it, but it honestly does nothing at all for me. I'd rather put that money into a 2nd-gen sedan.

People are shitting on the nexen's like he built the car to be a handling beast. Obviously it's for show, does the tire brand really matter?

I personally think the new STis are very ugly. The Evolution X is a much much better looking car.

The hate in this thread is amusing.

I like it.
