Thanks to Smasongsr for hooking me up with the pictures since I'm so inept when it comes to posting pics.

Like Smas said 4300k's and STi mesh covers are in the works. But I'm also looking to get a Cusco OS front strut race (already have the rear), Griffin front lip, and a Blitz Dual SBC Boost Controller. I'm still debating on whether to lower the car or not. I really like the stance and I'm enjoying not bottoming out where ever I go. Plus slammed WRX's look a little wierd IMO.

Thanks for the comments!

the WRX is getting played out.

At the very least, the prelude showed that the guy had good taste.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I really enjoyed my Prelude but I needed more of a "family" car. Plus, as much as I love the sound of VTEC, a spooling turbo sounds so much better!

I'm really picky when it comes to four door cars so I had a narrow field to choose from. When I saw this I knew I couldn't pass it up.

From looking at some STi's, I think that it would be a pretty close. It would all come down to who is the better driver. I seem to have about the same HP/TQ/weight/etc. Though this is assuming that the STi I tangle with is stock!
