well i didn't care for the moonroof, and i can get the fog lights as a kit.

if i can't find a good 3rd party solution for like...say, a good hella fog light? i'll get the OEM wussy one.

phelan, I agree, you should get fogs. Scooby-rexes always look better with front fogs.

Day 13 of WRX ownership: I want swaybars.

Spec Jay · 10-08-2011, 03:23 AM

Heated seats is my selling point lol

Just picked up my wife's STi sedan from the dealership on Wed night. 3M clear bra put on on Thurs. I actually got to drive it on Friday. Very nice! The clutch pedal could be firmer and the seat could use a lumbar support adjustment. It feels a lot narrower than the Z. Got a chance to take a few pics.

Next up:
winter tires, Invidia catted down pipe and Q300 exhaust, Cobb AP stage II.

Red__Zed · 10-08-2011, 07:17 AM

love the color in those shots!

phelan · 10-08-2011, 09:54 AM

Very nice! Now I really want fogs.

Isn't Cobb AP Stage II for an intake and exhaust, not exhaust / downpipe?

Also, if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for the clear bra? WAs it just hood and front? (I assume you just kept the clear bra already on the car and augmented with more?)

Spec Jay · 10-08-2011, 10:09 AM

stg 2 really only has to be downpipe

must be nice to have the oaks falling already!

djpathfinder · 10-08-2011, 10:21 AM

Thanks guys! Stage 1 = Cobb or tune. Stage 2 = downpipe or exhaust + tune (it's not very clear...but the last 3 people (including Spec Jay) say DP, so I'll buy that.

Phelan, I got 24" hood (to top of hood scoop), full front bumper, front fenders, mirrors luggage strip and fog lights done for $600.

Spec Jay, our window for leaves changing color and falling is so small (2 weeks). I much prefer the slower and later transition in Seattle.

Stage 2 is ONLY the downpipe and tune. Having a CBE is optional but not required. A lot of Suby guys will run a downpipe with the stock CBE to keep it quieter.

For the guy that mentioned having an intake, actually Cobb doesn't even recommend an intake with their tune. You'll find a lot of guys with modded Suby's are still using the stock intake because it's better than 99% of the aftermarket intakes out there. Those that do have aftermarket intakes typically have a custom tune.

Miss my old Suby and have considered getting the new STI. Actually the exact same spec one pictured here (rally blue STI sedan). I think for now I'm just going to stick with the Z and wait to see what comes out over the next year or so. The new C7 Vette and the new 2013 STI have my interest peaked; as does my curiosity to what Nissan will do with the next gen Z.

NewYorkJon34 · 10-08-2011, 10:30 AM

The 2011 is really a great car, but I can't see myself buying one since I bought & modded my Z. It would be like buying my Z all over again & losing all the money I spent in mods.

phelan · 10-08-2011, 11:58 AM

Don't mod the wrx lol

I need to get the front redetailed to get some grime off again and I hope to clear bra as well. We'll see...
