round ftw, always. I used to have square lights on my impreza, i switched to round ones though, they just look so much better

Looks awesome! So just curious...Do you know if there is anyway that the Outback Sport differs from the base Impreza other than the two-tone paint? Just wondering. If there isn't really a difference I actually somewhat prefer the look of the two-tone over the regular Impreza...

The 09 Outback Sport offers a raised suspension, and if i;m reading the specs right off of the Subaru website, it also has no rear sway bar.

Round ftw!

The dirty pictures are amazing. Incredible work! Just be sure to clean the underside thoroughly :) Otherwise you'll be picking mud off for many months to come!!

Some black wheels would look killer with that two-tone paint.

Yeah. I was thinking about that. But money, unfortunatelly, is a scarce thing atm. Big plans and no money sucks. But new wheels and tires is on the list:)

Until that time arrives you could just paint your stock wheels for a different appearance. If properly done, rattle-can wheels look like they came that way. Spending the time to prep them is the biggest thing most people don't take enough time to do. Satin black (low gloss, not flat) or gloss black would look cool. Of course so would gun-metal gray too. This can all be done for less than $35 total cost involved in all your supplies.

Differences between the 2.5i hatch and the OBS:

Assume a non-premium 2.5i

No NAV option on the OBS
No moonroof option on the OBS

OBS gets:
Tricot cloth interior
Fogs
Heated seats mirrors and wipers
Cargo tray
Two-tone paint
17 inch wheels (exclusive to the OBS)
Aux jack in center console

I think that's it. Everyone I've asked at Subaru says there is NO difference in the suspension. None at all. The .2 inch height increase comes from the larger wheels on the OBS.
