    Looks really good. Blacking out the reflectors would definitely be my next step. You never really notice it, but then once you do it's always the first thing your eyes get drawn to. Lol.

    I love the stock rims, I was almost about to just paint them black? think its a good idea? or Gold? Im not a huge fan of white but I am however going with black and blue everything pretty much

    A lot of people paint them black. Would more than likely look good.

    gold on yours would look good but i think because of the closeness of the blue with the subaru world rally blue, people would think you were trying to be a subaru. black wheels would be good though

    that gold wheels and blue paint is more of a subaru thing though, not saying it wouldnt look good and not bashing subaru. i would say pick a color that really sets off the blue but nothing thats popular, unique and rarely seen is a good way to make it stand out and look better

    White is the only other color I could think of that would work.

    white isnt as subaru but still, kinda poppy but i can see a lime green wheel looking good on that color blue or for not so flashy maybe a dark purple

    yeah I do think that getting the gold would definitely be somewhat tripping to rip off subaru's, not saying that it doesnt look nice but I dont think I can go wrong with black

    if you dont mind dropping 700 on wheels i think the kmc rockstars look nice

    I would definitely do exhaust. CAI w/o exhaust is kind of like peanut butter without the jelly... Sure it's good, but damn it's so much better with jelly.

    I'm kind of past the point of having an exhaust. I like the stock look better.

    we could probably give better suggestions if you have an idea of what you want to do

    some of things that I want to do mainly are
    Exhaust, thinking either Magnaflow or Injen
    Coils or Springs? Haven't decided on which I'd rather have
    Painting my rims
    and definitely getting a lip kit, I dont know much about the lip kits for the car but from what I've seen the front lips never are too eye-opening for me

    Magnaflow. Coils. Paint em. Lip kits are nice. Done.

    There's a guy around my area that has a GTS, and he used a stock Evo X setup for his exhaust. He has CAI and this exhaust....actually gave it a decent sound. Its not like the usual aftermarket exhaust sound....no rasp at all with a deep mellow tone.....

    just a little update since its been a while since I have posted
    I'm currently blacking out the nose and the bottom of the front bumper
    I have the sidemarkers and the reflectors blacked out as well as the chrome grill blacked out
    I am installing the Evo X style license plate frame
    I purchased a Injen Muffler, match with my Injen CAI ^_^
    I also have the 20% tints all around and the windshield visor strip
    I will be painting my engine bay and getting my rims painted soon!
    Painting my calipers red soon as well
    Pictures soon to come!
