Hey guys!
still pretty new here as i just picked up a 99OB a few weeks ago, ej25d motor 5MT. I have a lot i want to do to it already, and this thread will facilitate sharing my progress!
i'll kick things off with a snapshot from the day i got her:

ordered H&R springs combo'd with KYB struts (both were for 04-07 WRX) and here is what she looks like now (wheels are xxr 006s):

just finished up sorting out the suspension today, obviously a drop this substantial left me with a few concerns, and i still need to get an alignment (definitely drives pretty wacky as is). decided i would try something froggy and hack up my OEM grille and paint it.....my color choice was quite poor IMO. i've seen a lot of subies around here pull off the bright colors, thought it might look ok on mine but i think i'll be changing it to gold.

up next is to tint my tails and my front windows (disclaimer: i am quite aware of the legality of this)
some general maintenance is also in the works, as well as removing the factory pinstriping
paint could use a wax/polish as well
thats all for now!
