Here's a couple pics of mine from a recent BBQ. I didn't take any of the pics, just saved them from other people
Still have a few more things I would like to do, but it's come a long ways from when I bought it a few years ago.

I see you're running the wide body flares on the back. What size rims/tires are you using? Any plans to go wider? Looks like it can handle the extra width back there.

I'm running 18x10 (285/30) in the front and 18x11.5 (315/30) in the rear. I have thought about going with wider wheels/tires in the rear, but since I just got these I think I'll wait awhile. I thought I read somewhere that it's not good for the front and rear wheel width to be too different.

That's interesting. It's basically what I'm running but somehow, mine seem to look wider than yours. Maybe it's just the angle of your pics.

Glad to see you came back to the DARK side, and how does the STI compare to a stock FD and why did you get tired of it??? Reason asking is because I see a lot of them around town and wonder how fast they are compared to the FD. Nice Clean Stock Look IMO this is when they look the best!!!

Good question. Stock for stock the cars I would have to say are pretty evenly matched. The FD stock however has more top end where the STi pulled great from a stop and fell flat on its face up high.

Wow, that's a nice grilling area you got in your backyard

Oh ya, welcome back and very clean FD. Are you planning on keeping it stock for awhile or add some mods?
