New to me 2005 Legacy GT

Hello fellow legacygt.com members!

Sorry I forgot about the 10 post count for the marketplace, I was just eager to get some parts for my latest vehicle.

I just purchased a 2005 Brilliant Silver Metallic Legacy GT about three weeks ago. The car is a 5MT all stock except for the Borla cat back exhaust and K&N Typhoon intake that it came with. Since I've owned it I've already had NC legal tint installed and just put in a COBB short throw shifter in last night.

I plan to debadge the trunk lid sometime in the next week and may look at front grill options, I'd like to get rid of some of the chrome up there. Future hopes are for swaybar upgrades, accessport, and new tires. That will take care of my wallet for quite a while.

A little background about myself... I'm a 2011 graduate from NC State University in mechanical engineering. I still live in Raleigh, NC and I currently work as an engineer in industry developing energy saving projects for existing buildings. I'm a Christian saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. I also enjoy getting into other hobbies including A/V production, photography, and shooting sports.

Thanks for your time and interest in learning a bit about me! I look forward to contributing when and wherever I can.

Regards,

p.s. I'll try to post some pics up soon.

Good thing your saved...only the grace of God can penetrate the mod addiction...I'm speaking from experience :-) WELCOME!

Thanks! I'll need help keeping the mods down for sure. Hard not to spend some money on upgrades when my good friend has a '06 STi and I find myself wanting to keep up with him. Just got to keep it all in perspective I guess.

Congrats on you getting the 2005! Welcome to the site.

Congratulations! Check out the crown vic grill mod, it's my favorite by far. I did it to mine and am very pleased with the results

I have not heard of the Crown Vic grill mod... I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip! Does it utilize the honeycomb insert that looks so nice on the older cruisers? I've always had a liking for the Crown Vics, except when their blue lights come on.

Yea, I have the same issue, my buddy has a stage III GT so I have to play catch-up with my lovely bride's approval of course. Fortunately she understands the hobby and endorses #pickedawinner

welcome!

^ I was waiting for that...

Let me do it right, I'll get some pics with my SLR and post them up after lunch. Still haven't taken the time to do a real photoshoot yet.

Welcome fellow 05 LGT owner.
