I have probably seen it somewhere but may I ask what size tire you are running? If mine wasn't lowered I would do the same as you.

Looks great!

Are those some small driving lights or fog lights tucked up under the bar?

"Kevin's Car" should be a factory option.

Good thing my car can't see the computer, it would get really jealous.

It got washed a week after the snow trip - finally; so that's 2 weeks ago. I'm looking forward to putting it to the test!

It's so different seeing a forester like this. It's like the other end of the spectrum as far as slammed foresters go. How many vehicles out there can look pretty cool either lifted or slammed, and look like either an SUV or a wagon?

How does it ride?

What are the wheel specs, offset and width wise?

Any negative effects you've noticed yet?

That thing looks awesome! Get some perspective shots next to a meter stick or something!
