SOLD!

Hey everyone,

Little about me, I like cars. This is my first Subaru. I'm 19. I've owned a 1995 Toyota Corolla, a 2007 Mazda 3, and a 2012 Suzuki Swift GLX. I work for a car dealership and have gotten to drive lot's of vehicles, which is quite fun. Now onto the car! :D

I have a 2008 Subaru Liberty 2.5i 5 speed manual in pearl white, or Satin white.. Whatever it is.

Came with JDM Weather shields, and headlight covers.

My current mods:
X-Force Catback exhaust. (X-Force sent the wrong part twice, now that it's been 'fitted', the centre pipe appears to be hitting the underside of my car. So first mod hasn't really gone so well....)
JDM Weather Shields
Headlight covers
Black Plasti-dipped Grill
Black and red rego plates.
Bosch Wipers
Takuma RST's 18x8 on Bridgestone MY02 235/40r18s
Cusco Coilovers
Car Safety First Aid Kit
Boot Rubber Floor Mat


Future Mods:
STi 5MT Gear Lever, with gear knob.
Cusco Coilovers - Completed
Takuma RST 18x8 Wheels - Completed
235/40/18 Bridgestone MY02s - Completed
Front Grill Swap - Plasti-dipped black instead.
Needs new brake pads soon. (that counts as a mod right?)
Carbon Vinyl Wrap, or matte black wrap the silver lining on the interior.

Replacing old, smudging wipers, with Bosch wipers. - Completed
Angel Lights
LEDs
STi Front Lip

Plate swap - Completed

Dream mods:
STi Alcantara seats.


aaaaannnd
That's all I can think of off the top of my head atm... Any suggestions would be great? :D

THANKS! Here's some pictures! (I hope they work.)

Excellent choice of car. :derisive: As 'luck' would have it, I also have a shinto driving charm like the one you posted. :lol:
All the best for future mods!

Welcome.

It's funny that a safe driving charm would hang so as to potentially obstruct the drivers view :D

I got my exhaust fixed up. It's all good now, working fine, no more knocking and all of that. So yes! That's another mod down, onto my next!

Also unrelated. One of the guys I work with just bought a BMW S1000rr. For all those into motorbikes as well.. It looks and sounds amazing. If only I had my full motorbike licence!

S1000rr. Factory air shifter and traction control. Mid to low 9s in the mid 140 mph range out of the box. Nice.

Just got my new number plates today.. Same as my original rego, nothing custom. Just a Black plate with Red lettering.

I also plast-dipped the chrome on my front grill to just black.

Pics to come tomorrow.

Haha, I scrolled up to your original post to see if you're getting coilovers and noticed the size.

They're 18s.
And yeah, I'll be putting in some BC-BR Coilovers after the wheels go on.
