Bruh... what's taking you so long? They don't look "awful" per se... they're not my choice for mud flaps - BUT, they keep the smaller debris from sanding blasting my paint in the lower areas.
I have no idea to be honest. I'd love to get a tune and a turbo back exhaust to free up some more HP. I am a little hesitant to do so for warranty reasons, but also because I don't think I'll have this car too long anyway. It's a great car and a lot of fun, but there aren't really places to have fun driving in Philly unless you make a day of it. I.e. my commute is mind-numbingly boring in stop and go. An automatic derpmobile would suit my situation better. Also the rattles are a bit annoying.
Just really. Love the car. Wish I could actually use it.

My commute is half a mile, lol. I have to drive to my parents' house and do some ridiculous drive through some residential areas to get the car just warmed up enough so I don't do more damage to the car.
As far as the warranty, they can't get you for the turboback. The tune is detectable, but you'd really have to get a tech that gets off on fucking the customer. They have to run a battery cycle history (when you do a tune, it adds a cycle or two). If you've got enough miles on the car, you can say some shit like "oh yeah, the battery died. I left the lights on".
I don't intend on keeping the car for life or anything, but it's definitely a ton of fun.

I extended my home commute to about 5 miles just to get the car warmed up on the drive. hah. I love driving it, I'd never do that in the GTI.
I might rip apart the interior and reassemble with tons of felt tape to cure rattles. That might be a thing I do this fall. We'll see.

I've thought about letting a sound shop dynamat the whole car. I couldn't believe at mile 4 there were several rattles. 4 fucking miles on the car. My M3 with 62k miles before I sold her was rattle free. No rattles.... on a 6 year old BMW....

How many times do I have to remind you that you bought a Subaru?

I've kind of come to just accept it
The center console and rear deck ones are annoying for sure though.

I recommend Ezells in Seattle for tendies. It's one of oprahs favorite places to get fried chicken. I hear the sweet potato pie is also great. I've only had the tendies and they're fantastic.

Marking that as one of the many food places to try in Seattle

There's a place on/near the coast called Thor's Well that I've been wanting to check out up there.
That looks pretty awesome. Would love to check it out but it's kind of far.
the one time i was going to check it out we already had a campground booked at Crater Lake, which is on the opposite side of the state. If you PM me your email address, I can send you an email from a buddy that lived in Portland for a bit on things the he recommended some of our other friends go check out on a recent visit.
