Maksym C's 2016 Impreza WRX STI Base

Car Show Entry #76 :: Best WRX/STI 15-21

Car Description:
Happy to introduce my 2016 STI that I’ve owned since 2018. I purchased her completely stock and almost immediately upgraded springs to RCE yellows with front and rear camber kits. Stock audio system was less than acceptable and, after extensive research, I became a happy user of the OEM Audioplus complete setup with speakers and the sub. I later upgraded the head unit to 2018 WRX, with bigger screen and faster Bluetooth setup.
The stock 18” base wheels were replaced by BBS’s that were donated by a 2015 Evo MR.
I then added an OEM STI front lip, side skirts and rear under spoiler.
After a short while I found that I wasn’t a fan of the STI wing and I swapped trunks with some WRX lip.
Suspension components were beefed up by Whiteline bushings that made spiritual driving much more pleasant experience without braking the bank.
As almost every WRX owner, I too added COBB AP and a short shifter.
Finally, since she is my daily and the only one, I had to figure out a way to haul my mountain bike. 2016s did not come with factory rail brackets, I made measurements and drilled the roof in order to install brackets for the Thule rails with the bike rack.
That concludes my modest list of mods.
Thank you so much for your time!
