Just realized I didn't hve a thread here. I've had the car for ~2 years and have done a ton of random mods, with a constant reminder to myself that this is a daily driver that transports my whole family. Tons of pics to follow:
This is pretty much what the car looked like when I picked it up. It had just turned 100k and was in pretty decent shape. The only caveat was that my wife couldn't drive the car since the seat cusion was shot and sat too low (is that really a bad thing)

First mod was debadging the grill, which took all of 1 hour, followed closely with a set of '00 OBS seats, '02 WRX head unit and VW Passat rims.

And finally a set of JDM fogs.

That was about a year ago, and got distracted from the car. I swapped the stock steelies back on for some Rallycross fun and actually traded the vw rims off for a laptop.

Getting back into the car, and realized how much I miss it (been in the shop for a solid month :evil: for a tranny) But I found a smokin deal on some outback rims with Mich weatherwise sport tires (80% tread left) that are sitting in the garage (where my car belongs!!) getting refinished. Going to do the same deep bronze that the vw rims had. Can't wait to get my car back, and the rims finished up.

Will post some pics when the car is sitting pretty with it's new shoes.
Edit: Wheels are painted, but car is still at transmission shop. Here they are, waiting on the car to come home.
