My WRX ... 56k = get lost

First post here , some of you may have seen these pics on NASIOC, not sure.

Mods:

17x7.5 Gram Lights 57S
Prodrive springs
STi replica front / rear strut bars
STi front splitters / fog covers
Kartboy short shifter, front / rear bushings, ****

Coming soon:
JVC KD-ADV6160 DVD/MP3 player

I don't have any performance modifications because I'm going back to Iraq in December for a year, and my friend, who built the last turbo kit on my car from SCRATCH, is going to get into the WRX market while I'm gone.

So when I get back, there will be a new line of FMIC, TMIC, up/down pipes, exhaust, and maybe some other goodies. I know most people use the UTEC or AP but he will most likely be using the AEM EMS (he helped design the first AEM for Mustangs and is a certified tech). So to make a long story longer, no sense in wasting money on that stuff when my car will be getting outfitted with a lot of good stuff, heavily discounted if not damn near free.

So anyhow, I am addicted to modding so in the mean time, I have to find some stuff to occupy my time, hence the mods above. Let me know how you think i did with the photography (some are slightly blurry because my damn tri-pod hasn't arrived yet) So without further adeau (sp)...

Lighting was not great, and the angles i was holding the camera and the severe light on the LCD caused me to think that the pics were taken with the right camera settings, but it turns out the settings sucked, so this is what you get with no tripod (damn ebay sellers take forever to ship), and poor lighting...the pics came out alright i suppose, but i wanted the car to be lighter, but since i thought the settings were good enough, i didnt take multiple of each shot.
