I was at McGrath Lexus today and they have a 2018 like yours with 8k miles on it. Has the large spoiler and huge green calipers but man that cars beautiful in this color.

congrats !

Damn I've been coveting these ever since I first read about the new Performance Package with the Recaros. That's literally the exact color and option combo I want. The only thing holding me back is that I know I'd want to mod it and it seems like some folks are having issues just over 300whp. Still, either this or a Focus ST will likely be my next car. Great looking car, sir!

 

[snakebyte]

Love it! Wish they would come in a hatch again. I didn't realize there was a performance package with bigger brakes and Recaros. Nice job springing for that!

Couldn't agree more, the hatch looked so aggressive from the back. Even some of the non sti's were "wide body" so to say.

Very cool. My son has been interested in a WRX since the movie Baby Driver. The older models are still expensive and he is considering a slightly used newer one. Congrats again.

You're probably better off going new. It's insane how well these things hold their value. Grand Subaru in Elmhurst will sell new for $500 over invoice without haggle.

As Turk stated, these things have great resale value. If you are set on an STI or WRX, you might as well get a new one as you are certain it hasn't been molested.

So far I am in love with this car. It is such a blast to drive.

And yes, what turk said is true. These cars hold their value so well.

Then ignore your calls when you leave messages with the service department.

Well, i got my tint appointment at the end of the month and then a cobb tune with intake.

Question: What do you all think of these emblems. I think i like it but i'm not sure. I just want to do little things here and there cosmetically.

Current front look for reference.

 

[Mook]

And sample pics with the emblems on the car?

 

[Mook]

I think it will look god, w/ the wrc vibe.

 

[VenomInside]

I haven't been able to find an exact example with green on the blue.

Like i THINK it will look good but i really want to see it on someones car. I mean i could just by them (they are like 35.00 shipped) and try it and see what it looks like. I can even put up a TCG poll. lol

 

[VenomInside]

Anybody that is good with Photoshop care to try it? lol

 

[ragingclue]

There was a GT500 (I think) around that did that but with the big ol honkin green stripes. Didn't look too gaudy there, actually looked good IMO. These are much smaller accents, should look great.

I love the grill, not sure about the inserts, we all gotta see them on the car Might as well be the test subject, but in the end, I think you/we will like them.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

I think that green would work with the blue. Just keep it small and subtle.


Then get you some blue gym shoes with green accents to match the car. I see that color combo all over the place in gym shoes. lol

 

[IDAFC21]

I mean, its not horrible. Do it so we can all judge you!!

 

[RedBeard]

The green will look good on the blue for sure.

I just picked up some new fender emblems and have my appointment with Chicago auto pros for tint. I'll post pictures once complete.

I'm toying with the idea of getting black emblems all around. Thoughts on it? Example below:

 

[Mook]

Yes
