I purchased this 9-2x Aero brand new in July 2005 when I decided I wanted a WRX but had always loved Saab styling. The 9-2x was perfect.
So far I have the obligatory K&N panel filter, silencer delete, and VDO boost guage, a Cobb AccessPort running Stage 2 93 Octane, TurboXS 3" stealthback exhaust with a high-flow Perrin cat and a Remus oval-tip backbox, Megan Racing UP, KYB GR-2 Struts with Tein H-Tech Springs, Whiteline Quick Release rear strut tower bar, slotted & cross drilled rotors, McCulloch 10,000K HID system, 22% tint all around, and I tossed in a 10" Audiobahn Alum10X DVC sub in a sealed AudioArt box running off an Audiobahn 8002T Amp. The head unit is Alpine CDA-9807 and I'm running Sirius into it. Outside I have 18" hyperblack Enkei RPM2 rims,
I love the overall look... much more the part of a euro hatch now. And it still fits 2 mountain bikes in the back.
That'll probably wrap up this project as I'd like the driveline to last me through grad school.

my idea of a joke
Some tricky welding by 1st Try Engineering in Pittsburgh
Clean...not too low.
But regretting the caliper painting...
The daytime picture doesnt give the 10,000K color justice.
They're just a little too purple to give good contrast in hazy conditions.
a good color match from the VDO gauge. The ancient cell phone dates the pictures.
BEFORE: big fender gaps and lots of body roll AFTER: tightened up, as it should be.
Not sure if adding a waist spoiler would make it look more or less than the WRX... So I'll hold off.
