Finally! I bought a 2005 Subaru RS!! (updated 11/19/09)

Thanks for the replies. Next year I will re-paint the entire car and fix all the bodywork problems. For now I just need to get this thing drivable.

Hopefully I will be daily driving this thing by Thanksgiving next week. With a dent free painted door and dent free painted hood. Oh I also bought the medium size WRX rear spoiler today but have no idea when it will be shipped to me. It will look like the spoiler that is on the red car a few pots back.

Sweet, that spoiler will look good. It's not to small, also not obnoxious like the high rise STI spoiler

Funny you mention the obnoxious STI spoiler. I was on my way to the car wash with my Saturn and as I pulled in there it was. HUGE Sti spoiler on someones car. I talked to the owner and it was a 2004 WRX but he bought the STI spoiler for it. I could not believe how huge it was in person up close. Easily 8-10 inches tall. Huge. He mentioned he actually regretted putting that spoiler on because after he installed it people always want to race him or give him "rice" crap. Which is exactly what I expected and its why I went with the medium spoiler.

I also just recieved the shipping info so who knows, maybe it will be here in time before next week. Then I can throw a quick paint job on it and bolt it to the car.

Heh, nicely done. Only other thing I could think of would be one of those stick-on lip spoilers...and, meh, that's not that great.

I'd go with one of those flat ones that generation had. Its the one you see on the "Spec C." version in GT4. This is the only picture I found from a quick search, and I've got to leave for work now.

Eric that is the EXACT same rear spoiler I just bought. Its the stock WRX spoiler. Not too small not too large. In fact thats pretty much what my car will look like next year after I paint it Subaru blue.
According to the Fed Ex tracking number, it should be here by Thursday or Friday! Which works out perfect because that is right around the time I will be painting the door and hood. So I will hopefully have everything primered, painted silver to match current paint, wet sanded and buffed by Monday.
I will start sanding the door and hood tonight to prepare them for primer. Hopefully the heater in my garage still works. Been 2 years since I fired it up.

Update 11/18/09

My garage furnace worked but I am not sure how much propane is left. Sanded with 180 then 320. Door was flawless but the hood was a little rough. Even though the door was flawless, I spent more time getting those stupid painted circles off the door than anything else. That crap they used for the circles sucks. Hopefully I will be priming tonight with Mar Hyde primer.
Hopefully the driver side fan will show up today.

Update 11/19/09

Sprayed the Mar Hyde primer last night. My top feed primer gun was acting up so I had to bust out the bottom feed gun. I will be buying a brand new gun next year before I paint the entire car. Tired of messing with these 2 old guns.

Last night the driver side electric fan also showed up. The rear spoiler showed up a couple minutes ago. So I will install those over the weekend too. Tonight Heathers dad is taking us out for dinner so I wont work on the car again until Friday.

Friday I am picking up the silver base coat and the clear coat at lunch. Then I will sand the primer down with 600 grit. After that I plan to spray the base coat / clear coat Friday night.
