That is true, but if i were to have bought a stock STi i would never have been able to get it to this level, and the price was right when i bought this car. It is nice that my parents bought me this car, but i appreciate it everyday and am not a stuck up ******* as most people would think a kid who got a car like this would be.

anyways....congrats on a b*tchin' car
I do have a 4.5 GPA, actually, and did really well on my standardized testing.

I park it about 15 spaces away from any car there and i am on good terms with most people so no one ****s with it really. There was one incident that happened, but that led to this new front end.

Thanks alot man!

Congratulations you have done the impossible take an already mind numbingly awful looking car and make it even worse, on purpose no less! Gold is an affront to anyone with a modicum of good sense. The number of elements on the front of this car is sickening hard creases, bulges, bumps, and various other bits. I like anyone can appreciate personalization but to turn this car back to something that doesn’t burn the retinas would involve the following modifications.
  1. Re spray car in non offensive color (AKA not gold)
  2. Remove ghastly decals
  3. Ditch the akimbo washboard vents on the hood
  4. Catch the lower lip on a speed bump to remove that affliction
End product a box stock STI still not pretty to behold but better than this!
And this is coming from a Miata driver so take what I say with a grain of you know what.
