Well I was keeping her shiny till I got rear ended today 
Rear bumper is cracked in a few places and bulging out. Something is not right with my right rear coilover, so there is def. some suspension damage, and the exhaust may be bent or cracked a little. Girl behind me wasn't paying attention and rear ended me going 30mph or so. It's kind of ironic because 5 minutes before at a previous 4 way intersection i had witnessed her come to a stop halfway through the intersection and said to myself she's gonna hit someone today. At the time I didn't think it would be me, lol.
Here's a few pictures, most of the damage is underneath. I may be able to have them not replace the bumper and put the mazdaspeed rear on because it's mainly the lower bumper that is damaged.

I used regular household dish soap to remove any of the previous wax. I did that twice. Then I used Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. I didn't use masking tape. I was just trying out the Cleaner Wax, it came out pretty well, does a good job for what it is.

I loved my Subaru, but I had done so many mods and changed just about every part possible on it. My Subaru had over twice the power of the 8 and had an 8500 redline, but even with good coils and sways I enjoy the 8's handling much more. I had some bad luck with parts I used, went through a few turbos, in the end I just didn't feel like rebuilding my $1200 turbo a second time, so I parted it out and ordered a white Speed3. Then I saw my dealer had this black leftover 07 and they offered it to me for $4k less than the Speed3 was going to cost me. To be honest I really wanted a car I could fit wide rims and tires on, lol.
