So I suck and don't have any good pics (I will take them soon), but I have a 09 WRX. To date I have a CAI and BOV.....nothing too drastic.

 

Next plan is to get a CBE, and possibly a tune. Not sure if I will do much more than that.

 

Does anyone know a good paint shop in town? I hate the crome strip on the back of the car and would like to paint it the same color as the car.

 

Thanks for the help and great to meet everyone!

 

First time posting images to a forum, so if I screwed it up, my bad.

Car looks good, Josh. Once you're a member you can view the sponsor threads and they can be of help with your performance mods, tuning, and painting that you asked about.

 

I hope you can make it out to the various track days/meets/activities.

welcome. I might suggest getting it vinyl wrapped vs painted. usually a lot easier and maybe cheaper.

 

Had my chrome trim done, and I can take it back off if i ever want to, or sell it.

 

I had Lyles Vinyl Styles who's located out in Cali do mine, but I think there are a few local peeps who may do it

I agree with your opinion on the 08, it had 225 hp (not sure on the torque), Subaru heard the complaints and put the STI size turbo in for the 09. 09 has 265 hp/244tq.

 

depending on what publication you read, the 09 wrx will do 4.7sec 0-60. 09 WRX is actually faster than the 08 STI (i'd be mad)

 

Got the 09 WRX for $24,500. Not too shabby.

I second vinyl wraping, affordable, reversible, etc. You can't go wrong. Oh, and nice Subie new guy.

Nope, car and driver, etc told me that. Haven't had it at the track yet though to confirm.

 

If car and driver was a reliable source, then yes I would still disagree with you. I happen to know for a fact it's false. Oh so false. Lol

Simultaneously? Wow, that would be a bad day at the office.

 

Anyone on here know of a good source of getting vinyl cut in town? or I guess over the internet?

 

iwashmycar mentioned the place in CA, but I was curious if there was something closer.

 

OH8STi, the 0-60 time for the 09 wasn't just done by car and driver....it's all over the internet from multiple sources.
