Hi Everyone

I recently purchased a 04 forester X.

Just would like sort suggestions for mods?

 

Currently its Got BC coil over racing suspension aswel as 18'' rota grids.

DVD player and subwoofer.

everything else is stock.

Any ideas on what mods could make it run better, look better and sound better?

Hello and welcome

If the car is lowered and has new wheels I probably wouldn't do much more to it. Maybe a different exhaust/muffler

Maybe get paint door handles and side mirrors, upgrade rear sway bar and sway bar mounts, get a good muffler and maybe try and score some unequal length exhaust headers for the boxer rumble. Other then that enjoy it

Yeah I've still got the wind whistle. It's pretty common on frameless windows. You can either get new rubber seals or go buy some 1/4 inch(I think) tubing and put that behind your current seals to sit them out further and against the window

Yeah that's the one. When you do it, make sure you put the hose above the little metal strip behind the rubber, not below it. You'll see what I mean when you do it.
