nothing special, but finally got around to giving the car a good cleaning with this 65-degree day in the middle of winter, wtf??? claybar'd, meguire's 26'd (hand), detailed, etc.

too bad my camera is so crappy and it's a cloudy day so you can't really see how nice the finish looks now

Yeah, those are rally armor mudflaps...very popular with the subaru crowd and will hopefully save the doors/rockers from the severe chipping that happened on the maxima...

It does look like that in the pics, but that's my ****ty camera and the fact that it was a cloudy/overcast day with no sun....in person the paint looks better than any car I've ever owned aside from our 08 4Runner...which simply has nicer paint quality imo.

some plans. Only performance mods right now are a 25mm Cobb front swaybar and 17x7.5 Rota SDRs for summer use. I'll go slowly and mod smart and on a budget depending on what autocross class I decide to run and wht direction I take with the car. We'll see what happens.

yeah, it kind of makes up for the so-so exterior looks.

That said, it looks really nice from the driver's seat...much nicer than the maxima ever did....especially at night...Subaru did a nice job with the dash, gauges, controls, and lighting. And it's by far the best steering wheel on any car I've ever owned...

now you got to go stage 2 with that.. My brother has an STi. All you need for stage 2 is a catless uppipe, downpipe, maybe a catback exhaust and a tune and you will see some big big power. You should check out www.mainelysubarus.com they have a lot of good info there.
