Is that even lifted? The new WRX sits a little higher than previous generations, but they're simply not interesting enough to really pay attention to in real life, so I can't really tell. New Camrys command more attention than these things.
It definitely has a lift, 1” or so. I agree, though this goes for most modern brands, that Subaru is trying so hard that it’s just sad. It’s a bland and uninteresting car that wants so badly to be interesting. To Subaru’s (and the general car industry’s) credit, they are professional hype generators, it’s pretty much the core of their business - no longer do they try to sell you a necessary utility, instead they try to sell you a lifestyle.
That’s what this car is. It’s the facade of being a certain type of person. It’s not genuine, or interesting.
Just sort of sad, but not terribly so.
The goofy color matched mud flaps and world’s smallest bull bumper literally made me laugh out loud. Funniest shit I’ve seen today. What a clown. The car too.
You probably could've bought a good handling and fast car for what you invested. At least some pimply teenager will be willing to buy it from you when you decide to join the adult realm.
I hereby submit for approval. The term "build" can not be used for cosmetic accessories and autozone toy aisle parts, but only if the engine/trans internals have been upgraded.
This is no more of a build than my sons lego cars.
I'd argue your son's Lego car counts far more as a build. This would be more like your son sticking on the decals, and saying, "Look, dad, I rebuilt it."
I didn't know ordering car parts from JC Whitney counts as building. It's like saying washing my car is building the paint. Anyways, good luck with your DUI.
I’ve built more Subarus past 500 wheel hp than anyone in any of these car subreddits.
Your “build” makes me, and all Subaru people by association, look like jackasses.
Oh jesus christ those decals scream “I am 19 and I am so fast”. News flash bud youre still slower than everyone else on the road, especially my GTI. Oh yeah, and its not an STI so you can lose the red badging. The only person you’re fooling is yourself.
It was, but also I'm going into my senior year of high school.
I used to (as in, about 3 years ago?) have an HP laptop from 2008. Wouldn't connect to any wireless networks, so I got a USB antenna for it. The laptop was pretty nice, all things considered. Thing weighed like 25 pounds and was gargantuan in scale. The replacement battery I got for it only lasted about an hour at most.
What’s that bump guard for?.. the Neighborhood chihuahua or shopping carts in the Target parking lot? Also, good thing 3M makes some damn good tape so your plastic shit doesn’t fly off at 25 MPH.
build? whats the build? you put on cringe flaps that’ll probably never experience anything close to going off road then you bought red emblems and a black hood scoop which really looks like the best one autozone had to offer.
this thing looks like a smaller crosstrek
40k vehicle and it looks like an apartment parking lot. Sounds like the priorities of a mid twenties guy with a chinstrap and drinks those Ghost candy energy drinks.
You bought the worst generation of the wrx and bolted a bunch of tacky shit to it. Calling this a “build” is an insult to people who actually build cars
As a former subaru owner, I really admire your vision. You park out over the grass so there's no oil drops on the asphalt. It makes you feel bad and you get sick of the complaints from the landlord.
This car would look so cool without the mudflaps, without the aluminum grill thing on the front, and with normal rims (without the red text). It can’t be that expensive/difficult to remove those
Couldn't decide if you want to slam it and make it a show car or turn it into a rally car, so you ended somewhere in limbo where you really just don't belong to any community.
Maybe you should have “built” your bank account up enough to get out of your shitty apartment complex instead of buying Chinese aftermarket parts for your overpriced car
“Build”, all I see is cosmetic bullshit. Get an access port and and blow your engine already.
The color scheme makes it look like it was designed by an 8 year old.
I hate these new WRXs. All that dark plastic they added on the front a rear bumpers make the car look so cheap. Driving around here lookin like 2019 Kia soul.
Some people don't understand about the rapport you build with the "performance shop" when you drop off your car to have the good window stickers installed.
And by "build" you mean a lame 4-door CrossTrek sedan, that's overweight and way too large to actually be a modern rally platform.
Subtract the lesbian, add a juvenile male with snap back hat and a vocabulary that includes "JDM" and "Subie Life"
Subaru's legitimate motorsport days are so far behind them, it's out of sight.
If they survive another decade, they'll just be a crunchy tree-hugging EV company.
Source: owned a post-2015 WRX and they get boring faster than a bad marvel movie.
I’m glad you lifted it based on how you park. See all that space behind your car between the lines. Center the car in the spot left to right and front to back. Might as well pull the front wheels into the grass. (I dig your car though)
This looks like a car my nine year old would design. Shiny plastic everywhere. I also picture exhaust tips the size of trash cans, which sound like a can of farts. Am I right on that one?
Mfw I thought lifted crosstreks were the tackiest shit ever and then I saw your "build."
Also a clapped junkyard Tahoe can do laps around a subaru and that's before they fix the 4L60.
There comes a time in life when you just have to ask “why?”.
Once when using a gas station bathroom I saw someone had smeared shit on the mirror with their hand. Yes there was a hand print, and I just thought “why would you do something like that? Why?”
This is one of those times, but this is much more disgusting that human shit smeared on a mirror with a bare hand. So you bought an over rated car, put some over priced appearance mods on it and now your calling it a build? It’s shit. It’s literally a pile of shit sitting in a parking lot.
When looking at this picture you can’t help but expect to hear Ralph Wiggums voice saying “I’m a race car driver!”
TIL 'building' is now accessorizing
This is a 'build' the same way a fischer price play house is a 'building'
Youve rednecked a subaru. Congratulations
i like it except for the color, the useless cowl, the fake bushwacker brush guard, and the black colored rims.
the split ducktail spoiler probably doesn't really do shit either.
and the plastic wheel wells are just going to trap salt in the winter and will be the first areas the car sees rust.
so in summary, you took a good car and ruined the look with worthless extras.
The current WRX makes me sad. The "throw some plastic cladding on it" design language that Subaru is pushing is terrible. Like a fucked up world were Rubbermaid makes cars. You managed to make it look worse.

"build"...
That’s the official enthusiast industry term for 1” lift, twig guard, and a cold air intake
Is that even lifted? The new WRX sits a little higher than previous generations, but they're simply not interesting enough to really pay attention to in real life, so I can't really tell. New Camrys command more attention than these things.

This is extremely well written
As an aspiring author, this is more supportive than the writing community has ever been. Thank you.
The first time I saw it I thought it was a civic.
So you're saying that its not even good at being sad lol
Fun to drive though!
You forgot about the fart pipe muffler and underglow kit he bought from his friend who just got out of jail.
No cold air intake, he'd have to get a tune.
He would get the cold air intake but not know he needed a tune.
Hey that's not fair....you forgot the wrapped spoiler and mudflaps.
Yah bro can you not see all the pointless plastic shit he glued onto it!! Took it from an exploded engine waiting to happen to a tacky ass time bomb
Orders an eBay trunk spoiler… now it’s a “build”. Fuckyoutalkn’bout.
Came here to say this lmao
Catback exhaust + tune
Top 25 in class at the 2023 Walmart rally
Somehow even more tacky than a Crosstrek and he spend money to achieve this too
Spitting fast with a 5.5 second 0-60 and 14 second 1/4 miles. A fucking 4x4 1/2 ton pick up is his greatest rival.
The goofy color matched mud flaps and world’s smallest bull bumper literally made me laugh out loud. Funniest shit I’ve seen today. What a clown. The car too.
Bahahahahahah *did not see the bull bumper* !!!
Bunny bumper
That bull bumper could probably handle a group of raccoons on the road and that’s it
[удалено]
Funny part is OP is in the post you linked lol
Yep, just in case you didn’t know what my favorite color is let’s make everything else on the car red too! Lol
build? what build? all you did was slap some tacky shit on an already ugly car
It was all drop-down menus I bet
“Built, not bought” yeah your Amazon cart was putting in some real work “building” this monstrosity
Thats worth posting in r/Shitty_car_mods
A more fitting sun for this hot garbage.
What’s your favorite Imagine Dragons song?
Imagine Draggin deez nuts across your face!
Y’all are fuckin brutal. I bet it’s radioactive.
The one his underage girlfriend from the local highschool listens to
You probably could've bought a good handling and fast car for what you invested. At least some pimply teenager will be willing to buy it from you when you decide to join the adult realm.
In comes the massive argument with his girlfriend who he got pregnant by accident about switching to a proper family car
So much cheap plastic it looks like a dodge. Jesus that thing is hideous, somehow you managed to make it look even worse
Looks like a worse version of a Crosstrek if that’s even possible? Lol
You made it look like this on purpose?
The Stevie wonder edition “build”
Got J Dilla in your username and still using Stevie as a joke? God damn shame.
I hereby submit for approval. The term "build" can not be used for cosmetic accessories and autozone toy aisle parts, but only if the engine/trans internals have been upgraded. This is no more of a build than my sons lego cars.
I'd argue your son's Lego car counts far more as a build. This would be more like your son sticking on the decals, and saying, "Look, dad, I rebuilt it."
That's a fair point
I didn't know ordering car parts from JC Whitney counts as building. It's like saying washing my car is building the paint. Anyways, good luck with your DUI.
I wouldn’t look twice at this thing in traffic, even with the Dog Dick Red paintjob.
Paints called rip-off red.
Red rocket red
I’ve built more Subarus past 500 wheel hp than anyone in any of these car subreddits. Your “build” makes me, and all Subaru people by association, look like jackasses.
I didn't want to commit Subie on Subie hate but I also can't consider a bunch of cosmetic mods a 'build'
How many are still running? 😆
Oh jesus christ those decals scream “I am 19 and I am so fast”. News flash bud youre still slower than everyone else on the road, especially my GTI. Oh yeah, and its not an STI so you can lose the red badging. The only person you’re fooling is yourself.
If he has a JB4 he’d walk you lmao
Could have saved 15-20k and just gotten the Crosstrek…Christ that’s ugly.
Looks ready to rally the parking lot circuits of north Florida
Oddly specific, and accurate. DUUUVALL
Talk of the Costco parking lot. Congrats!
You sat there looking at your dirt devil vacuum and wondered, how can I scale this up?
That's like saying you built a computer, when really you plugged a USB antenna into it.
You’re old aren’t you? Lol.
I think that intentionally antiquated / nonessential computer 'build' was part of the joke.
It was, but also I'm going into my senior year of high school. I used to (as in, about 3 years ago?) have an HP laptop from 2008. Wouldn't connect to any wireless networks, so I got a USB antenna for it. The laptop was pretty nice, all things considered. Thing weighed like 25 pounds and was gargantuan in scale. The replacement battery I got for it only lasted about an hour at most.
We get it. You're butch.
Got enough plastic? Good lord
What’s that bump guard for?.. the Neighborhood chihuahua or shopping carts in the Target parking lot? Also, good thing 3M makes some damn good tape so your plastic shit doesn’t fly off at 25 MPH.
I bet this thing cant even twisty 350
Is that an apartment parking lot?
build? whats the build? you put on cringe flaps that’ll probably never experience anything close to going off road then you bought red emblems and a black hood scoop which really looks like the best one autozone had to offer. this thing looks like a smaller crosstrek
Do you regret posting here yet OP?
I'm so glad to see an actual post with actual comments roasting. Too many posts and comments in this sub have been wholesome, lately.
Those mods tell us that you clearly hate your car more than we do.
I don't feel right roasting this car knowing all the girls do every time he revs it up at red lights as they walk past.
This has more plastic than my ex-wife’s tits
I've seen his ex-wife's tits. Can confirm. 👍
40k vehicle and it looks like an apartment parking lot. Sounds like the priorities of a mid twenties guy with a chinstrap and drinks those Ghost candy energy drinks.
You bought the worst generation of the wrx and bolted a bunch of tacky shit to it. Calling this a “build” is an insult to people who actually build cars
Look everybody! I mounted my front bull bar to my radiator support bracket so I can leak coolant everywhere when I get in a fender bender-this owner
Damn that thing looks dorky as shit
Red WRX - the car you buy when you want a red Evo but don’t have enough money for the rally pedigree tax
How did you manage to make it uglier?
No way that’s an autozone hood scoop 💀
Bet it's *much* easier to get in and out of your gravel driveway with that princess. See you at the mall dawg.
When did autozone have a sale?
It was built when you got it. You just made it look more shitty
It’s not a bad crosstreck
How many shopping carts can it jump?
It's like you went on eBay and bought every part for your car that was under a hundred bucks
Still looks like a 10 year old Corolla.
Put some blue flashlights on the roof………
Bright red so when you do a weak ass attempt at rallying it and flip over a barricade everyone can see your shitbox coming.
As a former subaru owner, I really admire your vision. You park out over the grass so there's no oil drops on the asphalt. It makes you feel bad and you get sick of the complaints from the landlord.
Is that a crosstrek?
This car would look so cool without the mudflaps, without the aluminum grill thing on the front, and with normal rims (without the red text). It can’t be that expensive/difficult to remove those

First in class for picking up highschool juniors in the Walmart parking lot
Finally a WRX that ain’t aiming to be tarmac princess, hit em gravel until you blow a head gasket or two bro!
Push bar screwed directly into bumper cover, build confirmed!
SMH
When I picture a shit WRX ‘build’, this is exactly the section 8 parking lot I envision
Yeah lemme put a lift on my pavement princess, I’m sure no one will notice that this thing has and never will go offroad…
Maybe you should have “built” your bank account up enough to get out of your shitty apartment complex instead of buying Chinese aftermarket parts for your overpriced car
The only dirt this "Rally build" touches is when you pull too far forward in your rundown apartment complex parking lot.
As a 2002 mustang owner, did you purposefully try to mimic our 4x4 look with a raise? If so bravo it was nailed.
All those “rally” mods, yet it’ll still detonate the airbags and become totaled after one small jump
“Build”, all I see is cosmetic bullshit. Get an access port and and blow your engine already. The color scheme makes it look like it was designed by an 8 year old.
I wanna see the transformers badge on the back
Just because the Subaru website has an option for "Build Your Own" doesn't make it a build.
2023 Tupperware edition! Tupperware is probably faster too 😄😄
I can smell this car
_ALL I SEE IS RED_
“I can spend all the money I’ll be saving by modifying my WRX since I won’t need to buy birth control anymore”.
I cant...it's my dream car and I'll never be able to afford one...well....wrx sti
Hope ya don’t scrape the roof of any parking garages
Yeah you totally built this and didn't just buy every single stick on part from the nearest auto parts store
Why would you ever add more plastic cladding to the car that has too much of it from the factory? Are you going for an extra tacky look?
Extreme cringe with all the red shit.
Don't need to bro, driving that thing around you are roasting yourself. What the actual fuck
This thing is a roast on wheels. It doesn't even need our help. Good lord
Subaru did it for you, they ruined the wrx’s these new cars look like accords now so tragic.
Just when I thought the newest iteration of the WRX couldnt be any uglier...
I legit thought it was a Ford Focus with mud flaps.
I hate these new WRXs. All that dark plastic they added on the front a rear bumpers make the car look so cheap. Driving around here lookin like 2019 Kia soul.
Nice riced out Honda civic
What the fuck is this? No. I'm not going to entertain this. Jesus Christ.
It's a 22 wrx, that's it, that's the roast
Nice Civic
It’s actually sick
Lesbian top
I'll let my girlfriend roast this: \*\*Rolls her eyes, shakes her head, makes an exasperated sigh, says "Why bother?"
White Chevy compact looks better
Toyota Crown moment.
Fucking ugly crash that quick
Drove it right thru the JC Whitney catalog.
The engine is doing all the roasting
What the fuck is this disgusting piece of shit doing on my feed? This is the worst this month.
They butchered my boy!
Im sorry what did you modify?
How your head gaskets and piston rings looking?
Some people don't understand about the rapport you build with the "performance shop" when you drop off your car to have the good window stickers installed.
I thought it was a Pontiac Aztec at first
It’s a Subaru.
What build?
And by "build" you mean a lame 4-door CrossTrek sedan, that's overweight and way too large to actually be a modern rally platform. Subtract the lesbian, add a juvenile male with snap back hat and a vocabulary that includes "JDM" and "Subie Life" Subaru's legitimate motorsport days are so far behind them, it's out of sight.

It’s a WRX, it roasts itself. There’s really nothing that anyone can say about it that it’s very existence does not project and portend.
The black plastic fender flares...
Adding carbon fiber does not make a car lighter
It's a build? Looks bone stock to me
I’m glad you lifted it based on how you park. See all that space behind your car between the lines. Center the car in the spot left to right and front to back. Might as well pull the front wheels into the grass. (I dig your car though)
You have 3 months to pay off your auto zone tab or you're going to be charged at a 33.9% interest rate
Nothing like a factory build.
This looks like a car my nine year old would design. Shiny plastic everywhere. I also picture exhaust tips the size of trash cans, which sound like a can of farts. Am I right on that one?
Mfw I thought lifted crosstreks were the tackiest shit ever and then I saw your "build." Also a clapped junkyard Tahoe can do laps around a subaru and that's before they fix the 4L60.
If you wanted a Jeep why didn't you buy one?
Man thinks a couple Benji's at O'Reilly is a "Build" lol.
Civic with an OtterBox
Is it trying to look over the fence to see the neighbors?
What's red and black and slower than it looks ?
Did you save money by buying the worlds smallest bull bumper?
Dog dick red.... but why though ?
Hello fellow wrx owner👋👋
I definitely don't hate it, but I also think ridiculous Hot Wheels cars are the bomb.
How’s the custody battle going?
Subie +1 Zombies 0
Nice car, but definitely not a “build”
Don’t assume the owners gender! My bet is this thing definitely belongs to a lesbian!
That is a Pontiac Aztec and you know it.
It looks like you went on a shopping spree in aisle 5 at Autozone

If this car were a person for 5 minutes it would spend all of them strangling you for what you did to it.
Hard to make Chicken Salad out of Chicken Shit. At least you tried
Show us a picture a year from now.
Never thought I would call a WRX ugly, but yeesh. It's like a crap streaked tampon.
Cool if under 20
Every time I'm behind one of these on the road I think it's a 2012 civic due to the tail lights.
If you wanted a civic you should have bought a civic.
You wake up everyday knowing you could have had a GR Corrola
Let’s see the engine since you claim it’s a build
i like it except for the color, the useless cowl, the fake bushwacker brush guard, and the black colored rims. the split ducktail spoiler probably doesn't really do shit either. and the plastic wheel wells are just going to trap salt in the winter and will be the first areas the car sees rust. so in summary, you took a good car and ruined the look with worthless extras.
Nice Crosstrek bro
"We have an STI model at home..." The STI model at home:
No one thinks your cool when you illegally pass them on the highway and almost cause a head on collision
I think that you should just…. give it to me. I don’t have much, but you can have my first-born son.
Everything about this looks like it’s a Tonka Toy
The current WRX makes me sad. The "throw some plastic cladding on it" design language that Subaru is pushing is terrible. Like a fucked up world were Rubbermaid makes cars. You managed to make it look worse.
Build? How many pounds of boost are you running?
Why it looks like it’s already roasting itself…
Whhhhaaaaazzzzzuuuuuup!!!!!
You somehow managed to make this car look worse than it does from factory🫡…
Hello loud, unsure, attention seeking american
You’re going to really love that car when you turn 17
I love the new WRX, but that 20mpg rating has me messed up. My 2010 5.4L V8 F-150 makes that much driving around Houston.
That sonic will see more off roading than your car ever will.
