Hey Y'all, I know i was interested in selling my 05 rally blue wrx but I don't have to anymore. So I am looking to do some cool interior or exterior upgrades. Mainly for looks not performance. I am getting new headlights and fogs as well as a rubber lip. Can y'all suggest any stylish upgrades?

You could trade it for my jeep. That would be sick.

Bro, totally go upgrade yourself a bit as well. A kickin' mohawk, some sick face tats, and a few studs in your forehead would be totally sick. Rock on, bro!

V-Limited lip (or replica), RCE black springs, RCE front camber lowering plate, and wheels. Since you're not looking for performance, buy some Rota Grids or something. They look sick as hell (TE37 replicas) and they're cheap.

lolrotas. Buy coils and save for real wheels. Then maybe your car won't look like every other Subaru in the world on garbage springs and brotas.

In what way are coilovers and wheels performance? Springs and rotas look like shit, therefore coils and real wheels versus shitty knockoffs would improve his "cosmetics".

Quick, which car is on springs, and which is on coilovers? No cheating.

If OP was talking about performance, it would be in terms of hp/tq. QUALITY Springs/Shocks can tighten a car down just as well as coilovers, both would be "performance oriented" then wouldn't they? Normally when I hear the word performance I think engine bolt-ons, as everyone else does. Not springs and coilovers.

Bottom car, but only because I have seen that car before.

If youre going for low buy Raceland coilovers. They are by far the best riding and handling coils I have ever come across for the money. They cost $469 I think for a set. Not sure if thats in your price range or not, but considering a set of springs is gonna run you around 300 Id just shell out the extra cash. For wheels Id look into rota's as said before, xxr's, or drags's if youre looking to save some cash.

Oooooooooooh shit! But I'd rather go for coils cuz you just can't get that nasty fitment with springs. But unless op plans on tracking all day rotas should be more than efficient

People were freaking out over coilovers not being "performance modz" in my eyes. What does that picture prove?

My mistake for posting in a car thread on NS in the first place. I'll bow out now.

performance wise on coilovers ive heard mostly to help balance especially with negative camber other than that i dont know much else but i wouldnt go against getting coilovers on a WRX

1. Have it lowered as far as possible (preferably find the cheapest and sketchiest shop you can to do this for you)
2. Get about 14 extra massive side exhausts and no muffler
3. Get an enormous wing
4. Tint them windows
5. Roll down those windows and play music really really loudly

This will make people respect you, believe me.
