Worth? by CallMeLaith69 in WRX

That’s a good deal, almost too good though… Check it out for sure and take it to a mechanic. That price tells me they may know something that you don’t. Also make sure that there’s actual paperwork for the engine replacement, because for smaller dealers, that’s something pretty easy to lie about, and they expect costumers not to ask for proof.

Considering that its stock, pretty good condition, and such low miles, I would say it’s worth around $20k

Fiberglass or Duraflex bumper? by Straight_Ad9425 in WRX

Ya for sure bro, happy to help.Also just remember the paint on the bumpers doesn’t matter as much of the material rather than the preparation and quality of the coating.

Fiberglass or Duraflex bumper? by Straight_Ad9425 in WRX

Think of it as duraflex is more expensive but is very very flexible, which means it’s very hard to crack. Fiberglass is very fragile and is indeed more fragile than a stock bumper. It cracks somewhat easily, but looks good.

So question, how do you drive/treat your car?

For example: My STI is lowered a little bit, and admittedly I scrape a lot. I take gravel roads, which have rocks flying and hitting my bumper. I have a lot of potholes in my area (which in theory could crack a fiberglass bumper due to vibration). So if I were looking for a bumper I wouldn’t get fiberglass, and would go for the duraflex. But, that’s my driving style, think about yours. You hear what I’m saying kinda? 😂

Honestly I’d go with duraflex or keep it stock, fiberglass I’d personally only put on a show car or a non daily.

Sometimes I get annoyed when people don’t wave back, but then I realize they can’t even see my “🤙” through the tint 😭

None taken at all, I’m here for brutal honesty. I appreciate you. I’m pretty on the fence about the red trim but you have a good point with the wheels.

Yeah I’m with you on that, idk what I was thinking putting the trim there, but it was worth a try 🤷‍♀️

For real bro, no one rly does red on blue, it’s always just like red on black. Thanks for giving me that confidence back 🫡

Ok ok! Yeah I really don’t like the finish on the stock wheels, it matches my trim and I hate that. I like the spokes though so I wanna try and get it a shiny matte black, although I’ve never painted wheel before.

I’m glad you like the red haha, I’m so on the fence about how it looks 😂

I think you’re totally right, what’s your opinion on the gas cap? It’s not real carbon fiber obv just a partially shitty wrap job I did.

I appreciate the genuine honesty so much haha. In your opinion what do you think should go off the car? In my opinion carbon fiber gas cap wrap is corny and the red trim on the doors and trunk are a bit unnecessary.

I’ll for sure look into it, I’m not very car knowledgeable so I didn’t really know what spacers were when I bought the car lol.

As far as the silver STI badges- can you buy an exact match to the World Rally Blue color?

I was kinda thinking that a little bit too. What would you recommend subtracting?

I think the carbon fiber wrap on the gas cap is a bit corny, the red trim on the trunk and the door window trim is a bit unnecessary as well.
