How to improve the appearance of your Subaru WRX and to make it look younger?


Time goes on, and the automobile industry does not stand still. The cars that were trendy just a few years ago no longer make people look at you with such enthusiasm. However, you won't love your car any less because it's getting old. But if you want your Subaru WRX to stand out from the crowd and still catch the eye, transform its appearance. Put on nice rims - it'll make it more noticeable right away. Install coilovers - lowered cars always look cooler. Add fender flares to the kit and you get a sportier look. Put decals on it and people passing by won't be able to take their eyes off of you.

However, you can not only change the appearance of your car beyond recognition, but also to rejuvenate it. If you want, you can make your car a couple of generations younger. To do this you should buy a body kit - a set of body elements that repeat the outlines of cars of later versions. It won't make the car go faster, but it will be extremely difficult to notice the differences externally.
