Hey guys, new ST owner and member here, seems like a great site and I've already learned a ton.
I've always been into modifying trucks & diesels (currently own 3), but recently decided to retire my everyday driver (06 Ranger) and purchase an ST.
I really wanted an STI, but was determined not to finance, so I settled on the ST.
I wound up picking up a flawless 2013 TB ST3 with 6900 miles on it for 21,600, which I felt like was a good deal.
So far, I'm really liking it, with the only exception being lack of AWD.
Not going to get crazy with it since it's my DD, but have decided to do a few basic mods.
So far have started out with a Mountuned AP3, COBB CBE, FS Werks intake, Redline hood struts, Centric Pads, Boomba BOV, 3M Crystalline Tint, and a Levels FMIC. I've also got an MBRP catless DP and Eibach Sportlines on order, but they haven't arrived yet.
All parts have been purchased from board sponsors.
I also decided on some Avant Garde M310's, but wanted a matte bronze finish which they don't offer in our lug pattern.
I happened to see a post from sprdmx showcasing a finish very close to what I was looking for, so I pm'd him and he was happy to point me to a company that offered powder-coating on their 310's. I contacted them and we decided on technica bronze, which I'm very happy with, so thank you sprdmx for the contact info.
Then I stumbled on a post from xLogan108 and noticed he was selling an Inno roof rack which was next on my list, so we agreed on a fair price and made a deal.
Unfortunately, the rack wasn't packaged properly, so it arrived a little beat up and the fairing was broken. Obviously disappointed, I reached out to him and made him aware of the situation. I told him I would sand and re-paint the scratched up hardware if he would take care of me on the fairing. 15 minutes after our email exchange, Logan had emailed me a receipt showing the replacement fairing had been ordered. Not only that, but he had it overnighted to me and also threw in some Goits car wash soap for good measure. Needless to say, I'm very happy with the way he handled the situation and made things right, without me ever having to get ****ty with him. So if anyone out there is ever thinking of purchasing anything from Logan, you can buy with confidence as he is a stand up dude.
Per forum rules, here's a few snaps of the ride (will hopefully look much better with the sport lines installed)
