Agreed. Plus I hate the way the side mirrors look and come out the car...

wow looks good congrats man! I think i still gotta see these new ones in person because pictures don't seem to do it justice. Also i too say do not get a BOV. The way i look at it is some Japanese dude locked in a basement some where in Tokyo and has designed it to the T. The stuff i would change is stuff that they have to comply with. So exhaust components, and the ECM (the car out of the factory is set for a wide variety of situations, so tune it for where its home is.)

They're for improved forward and lateral visibility. It does help but to each his own.

The upper lamps are blinkers, the lowest lamps are the fog lights. I want a bov for my bpv.

How'd you guess? I had to park in front of Koa Pancake House, on the very edge stall to go to Starbuck's. Parking was a b*tch. I need to stay away from everyone with this brand new ride, you know how it goes...

Thanks. You gotta see it for yourself. The bov joke is just to get everyone all fired up, lol. But as far as mods, a Cobb Stage 2 power package sounds like the first mod to do as well as a good AOS. Even for stock engines, blow-by somehow still ends up in the intake and TMIC. Subaru actually tried to improve their crankcase ventilation but it's still flawed, which is partly the reason for ringland failures, as detonation is caused by oil in the combustion chambers.

Im pretty sure he knows better than that, besides, he is not a n00b. Most n00bs especially coming onto the subaru scene, from what I've seen do that first mod. IMHO, we all go through that phase.

Actually bro, the STi still has the 2.5 liter with the unequal headers. It's just the WRX that's got equal length headers now. STi's get to keep that awesome boxer rumble!

Thanks. Do lots of researching for tried and true results as there are many different types and designs to suit your driving style.

I'm keeping it unequal. I'm not trying to extract every last ounce of power out of it...yet.

You say that now, but when you see that WRB 2015 STi with gold BBS rims, you're going to want one. Hahaha!
