I'm down! Have you tinted yours yet? Thinking about going to Fresh Window Tint on Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach.

Thanks for the post with pics. I"m still debating which color choice, but I'm sure if I go with Obsidian, that I will definitely get the Red interior. Looks great.

Yup, did a limo tint all around.. just went to a local shop 3 minutes from my house.
You've never had a WRX before have you?

Definitely, or even with Ultra White. The red in my photo is brighter than what it actually is. You have to see the red interior in person.

Definitely need to take her out for a ride and put your camera to work. You guys have way too many nice places for photoshoot. And don't mod too much or you may wonder if you should have gotten an RC F instead

A pic from the canyons last weekend. The car handled pretty well, but I didn't push it hard due to CHP presence.

I had that Obsidian paint on my SC, which I drove for 14 years before getting my swell new Infrared RC. I strongly suggest you look into either Zanio or Opticoat while the car is still new. Zaino you can do yourself, and after the first round of preparation and the initial coats, it's easy to keep up. Opticoat needs to be applied by a professional (stay away from the home version), but it's a silicone coating that lasts for years.
Also, I saw a black RC at the dealership last week and thought it looked great, and your red interior is exactly what it needs to add some contrast and depth. Fabulous car.

I definitely would have done so if it wasn't a lease. Black is a pain to maintain but the looks cannot be beat, IMO of course.
