Good looking car. I got to drive a tuned STI version of one of those about 6 years ago at a dealer and DAMN they are quick little cars.

Yeah this thing zips around. Sitting at idle it has a deep warble that lets everyone know you just fired it up. Lol

Can hear it arrive on scene almost a block away. Handles on rails, but bumpy as hell so close to the ground. Trade offs.

I agree their sound is like no other. They really seen to hold their value. It's not a car for teenagers.

Took her for a bath yesterday...

And ran Seafoam through the gas tank and the air intake. I was surprised that the throttle body wasn't filthy (first time checking it out) for 200k miles.

Also finally got the title from the dealer the other day. Now just gotta get the emissions testing done and get it titled and registered in our name. Not looking forward to the tax bill...

Bought esky applique caps for $125. They are in decent shape and nice paint so I thought its a good price compared to the ugly factory caps.

Anzo smoked LED tail lights. I got them for $60 BNIB... couldn't say no to that price although I hate the little bulge and red reflectors on the bottom. The guy got them brand new from insurance when someone backed into his truck but sold the truck with OEMs

I have a dilemma if I should do the Esky rear window/brake light mod. The same guy with appliques has a black hatch so it would look nice on my truck. Only $200 too. I'm most likely just going to do it... thoughts? In the future I'm thinking of going with the red spyder leds with white reverse on bottom

CK805s are pitting and pealing. Just going to run them as is for now as tires are near new maybe strip and plastidip later

Lol no I'm afraid to. I don't have enough practice painting things. I might buy a $75 spray gun from Home Depot and pull body panels out of a junk yard and see what I can do

get a harbor freight hvlp gun. Lots of professionals use those and they are as good as the homedepot ones for way less money.

Bought some meguiars ultimate compound this weekend and decided to use it today. Washed it, then used the compound (which I think worked very well, then polished then waxed. By time I was done it was too dark to see on the camera. Took me about 4 hours to do all that, the longest I've spent on detailing my truck, can't wait to see what it looks like in the sun tomorrow. I do have some before and afters of the compound because it was light enough
