Thank you. It was just what I was looking for. Was hoping to find a SWP STI hatch between 2011-2014 with low miles and tasteful to no mods. Looked for 5 weeks, checking literally every 2hrs or so on cargurus. I know that sounds crazy, but there were legit only 4-6 2011-2014 SWP STI hatches nationwide at any given time. Most came up with higher miles or heavily modded. Ones there were in good shape and low miles were coming up sold the same day they were listed. Felt like I hit the lottery finding this thing.
Thanks man! I'm excited to start this new build. I have a decent amount of parts left over that I saved from my WRX build. Hoping to keep it clean and simple. |

Let me start this post by saying my wife and I are avid dog advocates, volunteering in our free time for the nonprofit organization Pinups for a Pitbulls, Inc.
We have two rescue pups, Minka, a nine and a half year old female American Pitbull Terrier mix and Batman, a six and a half year old American Staffordshire Terrier. Aside from my preference in the styling, the dogs are the main reason for the desire for a hatchback. Having them able to be securely in the hatch area as opposed to the back seats is super convenient, allows them multiple windows to look out of, and keeps the rest of the car clean. The first item I ordered for the new car, I ordered before I even found the new car. And that is the Subaru OEM 2008-2014 Impreza 5dr Pet Barrier. This is an item that for whatever reason is not sold here in the States. For my previous WRX, I was using a universal pet barrier that worked off of tension bars kind of like a traditional baby gate does, where you just lengthen the mounting arms to whatever size you need based on the size of the mounting location. The downside to this is the old mounting points were the headliner and floor liner within the hatch area. Based on the angle of the rear seats, the universal pet barrier cut off about 10-12" of useable floor space for the dogs in the hatch. In addition to the reduced floor area for the dogs, the mounting points left indents in the headliner of my old WRX resembling suction cups. So I did some research to find out if I could successfully order the OEM pet barrier I had seen pictures of either from Canada or the U.K. I'm happy to report, I successfully ordered and received the OEM pet barrier from the U.K. Subaru OEM Pet Barrier - 2008-2014 Impreza 5dr Here's the Subaru parts supplier willing to ship worldwide: DOG GUARD HALF HEIGHT IMPREZA Subaru part number: F555EFG000 I ordered it on Tuesday morning, Sept. 20th. It arrived at my house in Philadelphia, PA USA on Friday, Sept. 23rd from the U.K. I was blown away. Excited to have an OEM dog barrier that won't damage the headliner.

I was always a bit jelly of those who were rocking full LED tail lights by Valenti while I was just running the tail light overlays for the past 7 years on my WRX.
So this time around I thought I'd do it right from the start: Valenti Jewel LED Tail Lamps Excited these were no longer back ordered, just in the nick of time too with the new car purchase. Hoping to get them installed in the next week or two. |

It was meant to be!! Love the Valenti tails.
If I ended up back in a GR I'd get a set of them. Plenty of STI sedans around!! BTW, nicely done starting "slowly". |

Got some STUFF installed today:
The OEM brake pads that are on my car don't grab for sheeeet, so I had to remedy that asap. I was happy with the StopTech brake pads I was running before. Kind of dusty, zero noise, and great bite. So I had a set of them installed today while I was getting the new steering wheel put in. BEFORE: Stock steering wheel AFTER: GTSPEC D-shaped steering wheel And another angle: |

Yeah, no idea why the States doesn't get them. Nonetheless, that U.K. parts supplier was super cool and got it here fast. Fitment is perfect. |

Agreed
I'm collecting parts as I sell off my WRX specific parts from my narrowbody. Just got this last week: Opened it up today: Further inspection of the tips: Passenger side tips look good Driver's side tips, one of the tips has a dent. Just got off the phone with ERZ Performance. Going to ship them back the axleback portion and exchange it for one without dents. Oh well. |

I'll do my best st an install tutorial. Not sure when I'll get to tackling them. Hoping my buddy with be available to wrench one of these warm weekends. Thank you! Actually I've never been to the art museum meets. I've always been a bit skeptical and apprehensive to attend not knowing the rules regarding where you're allowed to drive an where is off limits. |
