2008 sti gravel/tarmac project

Figured it was about time I started a journal since the modifications have begun. Picked up the car in February from Sangera Subaru in Bakersfield, CA....excellent dealership btw.

Here is the car stock in the midst of a Mt. Hamilton run to break it in.

About a month later and we've got some 17" Enkei RC-T4's and Rally Armor UR mudflaps. Pics were taken just after today just after getting home from gravel fireroad run that was promptly ended by a ranger in a helicopter telling me to "Please leave the area, there is no offroading allowed"
