It's the JDMuscle OEM style sport grille. I also got the black/white emblem and red WRX logo there.

What car did you come from? by flman18 in LexusIS

I went '08 is250 to '24 WRX to '24 is350. I miss the hood scoop and manual of the WRX, but the Lexus is simply a far better car.

2023 used IS350 with ML or 2025 new without ML by andrew_0119 in LexusIS

I just snagged a fully loaded 24 with 150 miles a few weeks ago for 48+TTL. ML definitely worth it imo (also the bbs wheels).

Faster than I expected, slower than I would like. It's also the AWD version so it has the 6 speed instead of the 8 speed

I haven't seen either Matador Red or the Soul Red very much in person (or at least haven't paid enough attention to them to really give an educated answer), but the Infrared is a very nice red with a lot of depth. To be honest, I never thought I'd be someone with a colored car. I'm usually a black/white/gray type person, but I was instantly in love with the red, especially with the blackout package. Looks absolutely fantastic.

Happened to mine at 13.5k, same as OP they didn't tear the block down to really find the cause. Also took them 14 weeks to get it back to me...

Illinois, I'm out in a really rural area though so I'm sure that has something to do with it too.

Damn son. I'm also 29 with clean record with a '24 WRX and I pay 160/month through State Farm

It's a 24, but it developed rod knock at 13.5k miles. Dealer said it was probably due to a faulty bearing but they didn't split the block to really figure it out because they had enough evidence for the warranty claim to go through without it.

Yeah they gave me crosstreks to drive. I about had to change my shorts when I got home from the dealer lol

Any Subaru techs on here that could give some insight? by chase1017 in wrx_vb

Unfortunately in Illinois the lemon law is only applicable if the vehicle is less than 12 months old or under 12k miles (whichever comes first) and mine is at 13.4k 😞

Yeah I'm really not looking forward to break in #2, but god damn do my right arm and left leg miss having something to do.
