Because Box told me to, I decided to make a project thread for my new daily, an 07 Impreza hatch. It's pretty much a stock base model with cruise, and unfortunately automatic, but I got it for a good price and it's in really good shape so I'm happy with it. Don't plan to do much with it other than regular maintenance and a new radio which I already have. I'll probably throw on a set of mudflaps before the winter to preserve it a little better.

Here's what it looked like when I picked it up...a little dirty lol.

Nice pick up, always liked the front end of the 07's the most.
Selling the Camry now?

Glad to see my persuasion skills are still up to snuff. I know deep down there's a lot of small stuff you want to do already like painting or changing the rims, lowering springs, window tint, etc... tongue.gif I have to admit for a wagon those year Imprezas do look good even stock, personally I rather have a wagon over a sedan since to me the body flows better and they're a lot more useful.

Yeah the Hawkeye was definitely my favourite of this gen. Yeah I'll be selling the Camry, just gotta fix a couple things first.

I've got a few things in mind but for now I can't afford anything tongue.gif

Yay new stereo! Needs more low. *cough* Was thinking the other day depending on your laws if you lightly smoked the tail lights that'd look good, being they're an "Altezza" style a light tinting would go a long way.

If anything I'd get the overlays like these, not really a fan of tinted tails. I don't think these would fit the wagon though.

It's hard to tell but it does seem the sedan and wagon tail lights are slightly different toward the upper corner. You could always use red vinyl tint, but then making uniform cutouts for the reverse lights could be tricky.

How are they different from the seats I have now? I'll keep a look out for some. Also any idea if there's any tail light overlays available for the wagon?

The seats are more comfortable and have more bolstering to hold you in better. Not sure if they make overlays for the wagon. Search on nasioc and see.

I feel like that's a lot of forums. This one seems to be the most friendly towards newcomers. Its rather nice.

Even though this forum is pretty slow, I like it the most because it's such a small community and everybody knows everybody. A lot of other forums are just too big and it's just not the same.
