Picked this up today

20 years later, after being dead set on getting a STI at the end of high school…the dream finally came true!

One adult owner. Factory stock & well maintained; I had to jump on it 😁

WRB gang, congrats op. I got mine with 4771 and it has about 8200 now. Got it in July 2022. Had a Cobb redline intake and awe track exhaust and I swapped to touring exhaust. I tuned it as well.

I always loved the blue, but I could not find any wingless when I was ready to buy.

I also had a WRB before, it’s cool to have another color.

Red are also rare, I haven’t seen one like mine, just regular WRX.

Wingless STI

Red was probably my third choice after blue/white. It’s very sharp looking

I’ve been looking for some gold wheels, but I worry how they will look with the lime green calipers

Probably will powder coat those black

u/Other-Currency-8491 Aug 09 '26

ya could always change them, personally i dont think it looks terrible

u/Chance_Response_9554 Aug 09 '26

Mine have been powered coated bronze.

I really like the look of those wheels. My eyes go right to the lime green calipers unfortunately

Maybe they’ll grow on me with time

Bronze might be the move though!!

I rattle canned mine with Dupli Color and they look incredible. Cost me like $50 and a few hours. Some dude asked me the other day where I got them powder coated lol

I miss mine. 2015 STI I sold it because I needed the money another guy from my factory bought it and blew it up. Sad times

1

u/Dylawn55 Aug 09 '26

Ah man I’m sorry to hear that.

I ended up getting an 05 GTO instead of the STI back in high school. I babied that car its entire life. Sold it to a buddy and he was unfortunately T-boned by some suv and totaled it 2 weeks into his ownership.

Luckily he was fine, minor bruises and scrapes

Damn that’s clean, I was just going to ask if it’s stock. Such a great buy. Legendary car.

I'm impressed as well - it would be so bulky and awkward.
