Why not just wait for the 2015 model?

I think the new body style looks terrible and the 2015 sti still shares the same block as the 14.

I kinda like it. Not hating here....STi is out of my price range at my age in terms of cost of ownership practically. Even at 25 they still rape on insurance in my state. 2014 is cute, I like the 2015 a little more. Still think 05 is the sexiest ;)

I don't watch the Simpsons, so you'll have to post a Youtube video for that reference, soz :(

No worries; hang on...

Not the best quality, but I imagine FOX snipes YouTube on the regular for Simpson uploads.

The new 2015's have a 2.0, twin scroll turbo (cool, but...), and equal length headers. These are my complaints for specs, but I am also very disappointed with the use of the new Impreza body to create the Wrx/STi.

They share the same down-placed sideview mirrors (which looks ridiculous) and the front bumper is goofy and bland.

I've had a 2011 in the past and know what I'm doing this time around, so nothing can go wrong (knock on wood, not in my motor ;) )

Yeah I'm 25 as well, insurance full coverage is costing me $195/mo. I was paying $100 for my 2013 Legacy, so it's not a big jump for me.

Sorry boss, definitely not putting anything Simpsons related anywhere on my car. I'm not a badges/stickers kind of guy. I prefer stealth look, though, last time I debadged my car. I will not be doing it this time.

Had my sound system completed last night. Custom squeeze-fit box this time around, versus last time I had a shallow mount single 12" placed in leau of the spare tire. I didn't enjoy the low end bass, so I'm going with my 2x 12" JBL's with an 800 watt JBL mono Amp.

I'm fine with stock speakers for now, they're acceptable. I believe this system is pushing 625 RMS (sound experts can verify for me, if they wish, and thanks in advance).

Here is a picture, sorry for the bright sun:



It runs perfectly flush with the beginning of the declined lip of the trunk. Very clean look, I will be having a skirt made for it to cover up the gaps of the box perhaps next week (this is already paid for, timing is just bad for my schedule).

I will also be wrapping the entire car in 13% tint. Was originally going to go with ceramic, but I do not like the reflective look, and will be sticking with a higher end plain black tint. It'll match the black powder coated rims more smoothly.

The tint will also include a 6" eyebrow (limo, 5%)- taking a vote on if I should put a vinyl graphic across it "(Logo)SUBARU" in a matching blue pearl color. Thoughts, opinions?
