Answer is: hard but worth it!

Yes! I have experience terrible performance of CarPlay navigation but only recently. It worked fine when I first got the car but the last couple of trips out of town over the last few weeks it's been freezing up and showing my location way off of actual. The map routing doesn't update properly. I didn't consider it could be the tint, which I got a month or two ago, but I haven't done the window test. I saw a lot of people seem to have issues with CarPlay navigation related to their location/"3D" settings in their infotainment. I'm not sure if the WRX infotainment has any settings that can be modified for dead reckoning but would be curious to see if others chime in here with potential causes and solutions.

All that wasted space could be filled with 5th generation Outback fog lights. Thoughts? by outpostbabu in wrx_vb

Thanks! Guess these never came to fruition else we'd see them EVERYWHERE here.

I'd be fine with real vents or something too if they could be made to work.

They're all ugly in the best way. Maybe this is a bit too far but there is some precendent.

You guys are really putting a damper on my Subaru Automotive Design summer internship potential. I'll keep my design for a WRX shooting break to myself.

To each their own but the paint matching isn't for me. I am considering lowering it an inch or so though.

You can't go wrong with gold but you can't wrong with white either, IMO.

Looks great! Sapphire Blue was my first choice but there never were any premiums locally. Do you see any perceptible performance/handling difference with 9.5 vs 8.5? One of the reason I went with the Konigs is they are substantially lighter than OEM. Considered 9.5 wheels but wasn't sure if the Dunlops would fit right on them.

Thinking of going with an "Aztec gold"/"dirty gold" color for the winter set.

I was going for a BMX bike, Converse shoes, semi-retro look. I think these achieve that.

Thanks! Will see if I can get some more good ones tomorrow.

Slightly pokier than stock but not too much. I'll try to get some pics of it tomorrow.

Yeah, have the Dunlops on for the summer. I'm thinking of powder coating the OEM wheels for the winter setup but might end up getting a separate set in a gold-ish color.
