Nope, after 13 years, I sold the WRX last year. I still have my 2008 turbo Outback, but I'm about 40 years older than most of the guys that go to meets.
What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

One little tip, if you paint under the bumper, where the white body is showing, it helps hide that gap visually quite well.

Kept the supplied nuts and bolts. Just sprayed them Matte Black ;-)

Where do I start?
1) Had a new key made and programmed since I only had one.
2) Changed the cabin filter.
3) Upgraded the horn to the Hellas
4) Changed the fogs to Hella Optilux yellow. I wanted yellow fogs.
5) Replaced the front bumper valence as the original had been drilled for license plate and was nicked and scuffed up. Removing the bumper is why I also did the horns and fogs.

Good idea and I'll take it under advisement. Not today. Rigor mortis has set in.......:crutch::bathbaby:

It's an aesthetic choice but it looks SO much better and hides the cut. Especially with a white vehicle.
The one piece of advice you shouldn't take under consideration but rather just do it, is to run your rear mudflaps. The tire facing side of the CBI bumper is open, which is mind boggling, and you'll shotgun the inside of your bumper with gavel, resulting in exposed metal. Steel bumper + exposed metal = bad.
Definitely run the rear flaps to keep that protected.
That looks good! Can you post a pic straight out from the side? I want to see the balance of all the black and white.

Already on the list. Budget my man, budget.

Budget? Don't you already have the flaps? Just screw them back in.

Won't fit over the bumper. I will trim and reinstall the inner part to close off the fender area again, but I'll need to make some "universal fit" flaps work for the underside.

It actually does fit, take a look at my rig, CBI bumper and OEM flaps.
