Just not using it in the winter. I can’t decide whether I like the look of the carbon hood/scoop, but damn, the stock hood is the heaviest one I’ve ever lifted.

and yea, the prices are down to about $6k now. The real problem is that they’re so molested it’s impossible to find one in through and through good condition unless its by chance. I found 5-6 of these in neighboring states to test drive and look at and they were ALL molested beyond reasonable repair. Then the blue one I bought it was sooo close to being an awesome car but the quality of modifications were awful and I later found out the STI block in it was worthless.
