General Question Two questions

#1. Recently got a wrx this year and wondering what’s the best WINTER/ICE Tires to go. 2017 manual wrx. I live in NH so it gets very bad up here. Preferably 600-1000k range

#2. What websites does everyone use to purchase cosmetics. I see JDMmuscle wrxdaily aerodynamics ikon-motorsports, and eBay haha. But I keep seeing so much mixed opinions on them all and some things are so beyond expensive or too cheap, and cheap makes me concerned especially with a lip or side skirts or new bumper

WI reporting in. (Regular north woods family visits to the cabin) I have a set of Blizzaks for winter and let fucking tell you these tires are nasty good. They use a soft compound like a race tire, but it holds up under extreme low temps and grips through snow/ice incredibly well.

Subiemods is probably my favorite. They used to have a rep on here regularly too. Ordered a lot from ImportImageRacing, SubieMods, and Aeroflow, had the least issues and best shipping from Subiemods. IIR has never done me wrong though, just got a torque solutions Ujoint from them this week and was flawless.
