Did a small shoot this weekend. Not everyones cup of tea but it's a nice looking car. Yes the wheels are cheap, get over it.

Thats a hell of a car. I would paint the wheels gloss black.. but thats me.

That last one is awesome... care to share what you were shooting with?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks John! I appreciate the compliment.

If you can imagine more than half my body hanging out of the window doing 60mph, thats how I shot the 2 rollers haha. I forgot how irritated people get when you are taking pictures on the highway regardless if you are doing the speed limit or not.

Yeah, I can imagine that! I've only ever leaned out the window a bit, not half my body though! haha

I normally take the strap and practically make a turnicate with it around my arm so it wont go anywhere... haha

[sacrifice]

Lol. I might make a more secure strap for this reason. A new body with a swivel screen is no where in the budget right now haha

[exexpat]

Good pics! I like it as is, except it needs moar low and less license plate frame.

It may just be the illest STI I've seen... lol

[sacrifice]

Lol thanks Jeremy.

He is still deciding on wheels for spring/summer. I can respect running cheaper wheels in the winter especially around here when they salt the roads when the forecast calls for half inch of snow. No need to expose 4 figure wheels to the winter elements.

I say there is no need to buy 4 figure wheels ever, just buy the 3-figure stuff and swap them to new ones every 2 months. I've convinced myself this is cheaper and more fun.

Don't bring that opinion over to S|W haha. They werent too happy with them over there. Lots of negativity so I posted them here to share with people who have a better attitude for the most part.

I think he has his eyes on some volks right now. I can't justify the price at this point in my life but to each their own.

i just realized the taillights look like maserati gran turismo tails, i like dat ass a lot more now. green wheels are cool i suppose, i wouldnt do it but to each his own.

[MattyM]

One of the best looking Subaru I've seen in a while. A lot of the guys in my town have them. They dont compare to this at all!

Nice! I got a '11 Forester XT Touring w/Sports grill, underspoiler, also fully loaded for my wife last year. And started XTi it up with leftover STI parts... Eibach 25/22mm sways, Rallitek endlinks,'11 STI sedan quad tips catback, OZs. And a bunch of Poly bushings from Whiteline. Still looking for a set of '10-'11WRX struts and coils to give it a little drop and stiffen up the ride. Dan at Mach V keeps trying to sell me a set of '09 STI with RCE Yellows for dirt cheap, but that will slam it 4"+ and I don't want it running that low I'll end up with really bad rear camber unless I change out the bushings or lower arms...

[EVL WAGN]

OMG...that Scoob is beautiful. The wheels look amazing in that lime green with the white finish on the car. Like Jer says...tell your buddy to save his money on the Volks and just keep those. What are anyways? I was going to guess Tenzo R Cuscos but they have a different concave then mine on my Mazda 5.

[gdizzle]

Good stuff, Ian!

[andyb5]

The taillights might be my favorite part of the whole car, such a subtle change, I love it.
Great job shooting the rollers too!

[T.Q.]

I love the color scheme! Lime green/White/Black is my absolute favorite! Nice work!

[Mattphi]

Sticker placement and wheel color = do not want.

Everything else = sort of want.
