About time I made one of these threads

I bought it in September of 2005 with 64k miles. When I bought it, it had Tein springs, TurboXS MBC (set to 15psi), boost gauge, strut bar, and an STi grill.

This is the week I bought it. It had the stock WRX wheels on them but I took them off the day I bought it and put on different ones.

Then that following winter, I got sick of the silver wheels and painted them gloss black. Much much better look

During the winter months, I Koji'd my stock headlights, added an 04-05 STi style scoop, and put on a Prodrive Oval tip axleback. For winter wheels, I bought my brothers stock RS wheels.

Summer time came again. Now with the gloss black Rage Breakers and 50% tint.

Winter comes again. Added Rally Armor LE mudflaps and swapped the Prodrive Axleback for a Cobb Axleback. Also added a pink "i" badge.

Once again, summer came

Got bigger tires for the summer wheels and also picked up an STi V1 lip and STi CF side markers. At this point and time, I had some major transmission work done. Pretty much got it rebuilt due to a broken pinion bearing and output shaft bearing. While I was at it, I put in an Exedy Stage 1 clutch and 14 lb. flywheel.

Didn't know exactly where these pics would fit, but these were taken during the Spring of 2008

where did you get that front sti lip? it looks so sick. i want one.
They are very hard to come by these days. I got mine from a dealer off of NASIOC awhile ago.

 
There are a couple group buys going on on NASIOC for the replica V2 lip. This lip has the brake duct openings on the front. Looks just as good as the V1, a bit more aggressive looking.
