Subaru Impreza WRX with M3 style mirrors  

The Subaru Impreza WRX, is a turbocharged version of the Subaru Impreza, an all-wheel drive automobile. It is available as a sedan or wagon. The WRX has become a popular choice for automobile enthusiasts wherever it is sold for its performance and handling.  Originally introduced in 1992 in Japan, then shortly afterwards in Australia and Europe, the WRX had a turbocharged flat-4 2.0L (then later a 2.5L), Subaru Boxer engine. Compared to the base Impreza, the WRX has wider low-profile tires, larger brakes, and firmer, higher quality suspension components.  Many modifications can be done to you Subaru to make it look sportier and perform better.  

Installing M3 style mirrors is one of those neat projects that can really add some spice to the look of your Subaru without taking up too much of your time. The total install time for a pair of M3 style mirrors should be less than two hours.  

Aftermarket mirrors are available in different materials, including FRP plastic, carbon fiber and fiberglass. Plenty of different styles are available such as D1 style, F1 style and M3 styles. You can also get them in manual or electric, and get them with or without LED turn signals built in.

The toughest part of the job is actually finding a set of mirrors that will match your body color. If your Subaru is white or black, there are usually aftermarket mirrors available in those two colors. Any other color will need to be custom-painted to match your body paint.

Some aftermarket mirrors are manufactured with an additional lamp in the side. This can be wired to either to your parking lamps or your turn-signal lamps. Either one requires additional wiring to be threaded through the door, so I usually don't recommend this approach. Most of the cars I've seen with lamps in the side of the mirrors don't actually have them connected-they're just for show.

The Impreza WRX gets a whole new redeisgn starting from mid-2007 as a 2008 model year. The engine used is still the EJ25. Peak power and torque as the same, but the peak power will output at 5200 rpm (400 rpm lower) and the peak torque delivery will be at 2800 rpm (800 rpm lower)with redline at 6500rpm. The 0-60mph time for the WRX is around 5.6- 5.8 seconds(depends on the source of information), like the predecessor, while decreasing the 50-70mph time due to the improved torque delivery.
