    Installed a custom made splitter (made from splitter for wrx)

    painted stock wheels for fun (just for a couple weeks

    Lol why a 5 speed swap? If you do a tip right it'll shift faster than you ever will with a 5 speed. They're just a tad slower due to having to run the fluid pump for the transmission.

    The car looks good man, I was looking at the vmr wheels but those are exactly the same. How have they held up so far? Everything looks good but I'm glad you got rid of the leds.

    Don't plan on doing any engine/transmission upgrades at the moment. Not really worth it in a 3.slow... Maybe someday if I supercharged it or something, but I doubt it. The ST wheels are great. I was looking at vmr as well but these were cheaper so I tried them out.
