The most popular reviews in /r/2022wrx:
I got this one and it seems to fit well. If you do get it, make sure you get some antiseize as the perrin one came with it too. Just make sure you don't accidentally rust this and make your tow hook rusted https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09PBM3M3Q?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Mine would disconnect a lot even using the Samsung on with my S21 Ultra, I got this cable and no more disconnects, plus better audio sound. No issues with my Fold 4 either.

Cables matter for sure.
I got 3 mm wheel spacers that will fit inside the KNS gravel rotors:

I will update after I try them.
Hit them with a light coat of epoxy paint every other year or so. It'll keep the rust at bay. I routinely do this for my winter cars with steel wheels.

If you have two sets of wheels, you're better off just buying a new set of sensors for those wheels and buying a cheap programmer for 100 bux.
There are two steps in tpms:
1: Program the sensor if it's not preprogrammed.
2: Tell the car to relearn/register new sensors
​
I just ordered this sensor. It should work:

Wife has a OBW and I recall having this issue once or twice, but it seems to have not returned. My 22 WRX is too new to tell.
That being said, we are both using Wireless CarPlay adapters and between my last few cars, I haven't had any issues with connects/disconnects on it. I like to keep my phone in my pocket or put away, so I enjoy not having to really mess with anything.
Not sure how this sub will handle/let me do links, but here goes nothing.
FWIW, the wife has the one linked above, and I have a 2021 version that I can tell no functional difference in.
May as well!! I was gonna do the same but decided to just do the DRLs today. Eventually I'll do the fog lights too though 😅 It definitely would look good! I'd encourage you to do so!
Here's a link to the stuff I bought btw: link
yes it's stronk springs. It needs you to put a decent sized spoiler on it to slow it down. Carbon Fiber preferred that's at the max height of 14". Like this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DORQZUU/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_6?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1
I THINK you press and hold lock and unlock at the same time. But I bought a faraday cage pouch to make it fool proof.
I got this because it also came with a faraday box for at home.

Unfortunately push button start keys aren't quite as secure as good old fashioned RFID chipped keys. So keeping your key in something like this helps prevent car theft.
I use this one, but I still need to charge phone if I listen to the music on my phone.

I bought the BRISHINE kit for the 2004-2021 WRX/STI and it all works fine, 28mm festoons for the map/domes (tried wedging in some 31mm festoons I had laying around before buying the kit and all that did was blow a fuse and bend the clips) and everything else works perfect. Super bright as well.

Just get this, $25. I got it and works just as well as the others that cost 3x as much. It includes a thing so you can rotate your plate left and right but I didnt use it. Fits perfect.

Havent used it on the WRX yet, but worked well on the Altima I had.
This is the one I got: Amazon
I ordered it off the American Amazon site and they delivered it to Canada, plus it fits the 22” WRX just fine also comes with a spacer and long arm
I wanted the OEM kit but it's only available in blue for this year, and I wanted red. They told me the red kit from the 2021 wouldn't be plug and play so I bought this from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XQ2QBJ7?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Honestly I'm very surprised how legit this is. I wired into my fuse panel with a piggyback fuse and hid all the wires. Took me maybe an hour total to install. I have it set up on red and dimmest setting and it auto goes to that when I start the car. I can turn it on/off/change colors with buttons under the dash, an iOS app (that works really well), and with a remote it came with. For $40 and hour of work... no brainer. Very happy with it.
​
When I'm on country roads at night I turn them off - otherwise they stay on.
I got this, and it works surprisingly well. I normally hate crap like this, but it’s black and when the visor’s up I don’t even know it’s there.

Vantrue, pretty nice, Android Auto compatible. Don't forget an SD card specific for dashcams and extreme temperature swings. I prefer Sandisk

So I bought this black plastic restorer from amazon, and I used it on my car and my mom's car to see if it worked, I thought I took pictures of mine but I can't find it, but it looks and works pretty good, just used a towel and wiped it down
I'm going to use a cutoff valve , so I got two different exhaust profiles. A super quiet lightweight muffler on the left side and the mbrp resonator on the right side. The cutoff valve separates the two exhausts. The mbrp is closed off with the valve, but when the valve is open both exhausts are used. Gotta love the latest tech. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082MGPS4P/ref=ox\_sc\_act\_title\_2?smid=A2EDFBTLGRQ7PT&psc=1
So VIOFO has a hardwire kit that you have to put in a little bit of effort for and seems a bit much for me (since I've never wired stuff to the battery or done electrical work on my car) This is the link of the VIOFO branded hardwire kit.
If you don't want to wire it up like that, there are fuse tap kits that you just plug it into one of the fuse sockets underneath the drivers side, which seems more easy but still requires work. This is the link to said kit, although there are many others
and finally, the easiest way is to feed the cable from the camera, to the roof liner, have it route from the windshield to the A Pillar, down to the side of the car, hide the cable under the glovebox (or under the steering wheel) and plug it into the socket, I can take pictures to show you how I did it (English is my second language so I'm worried about not explaining it correctly)

not super budget friendly but still on the cheaper side compared to very high end ones, this one specifically was on r/dashcam as a budget favorite with both front and rear cameras. installation is easy and wire tucking methods can be found on youtube. I’m able to hide it fairly well behind the left side of the rear view mirror
Gotcha, I put these on every time after the gym. Super quick to put on and take off. Idk how it’ll do for oil and grime tho. Maybe worth a shot

This guy: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09YHCC9L9. Went up a couple bucks since I bought it but still one of the less expensive ones (and, seems to be the same as most of the more expensive ones).
The extendable part of the shade only goes one way or the other, plus a tinted clear shade that pulls down, but I've only used it on the left to block the sun. Just straps to the existing shade/mirror. Cheap, but looks reasonably good and does the job!
Someone in the 2022wrx Facebook group suggested this WeatherTech copy and I just got my set in. Can confirm they’re extremely great quality and a perfect alternative to the OEM and WeatherTech mats. Had WeatherTechs in my Forester and this version is definitely higher quality/fits extremely well.
I actually don't recall the factory stud length. I was going off of what u/Ubersti did with 3" ARP studs, saw they were a bit long for what I was trying to do, and just guesstimated that 2.5" would net a better result. I decided on EBC Blue pads because I was looking for a balance between a setup that I daily for work to and from client sites and a setup that'd handle the occasional track day (and the semi-weekly "highly spirited" midnight drive). I found a set of 7.8mm wheel spacers on Amazon that I was going to test out, but when they arrived and I took the first look at the cast aluminum design, I immediately dismissed the idea of using them for anything but a test fit to confirm spacer thickness. I have a machine shop at my disposal, so as long as I can get a set of spacers actually designed, I can get them manufactured. My major roadblock is that I'm unfamiliar with CAD and wouldn't want to waste my shop's time and goodwill with multiple iterations of bad spacer designs, or worse, damage my car when a wheel falls off during one of those spirited drives.
I've been using a Topsider this whole time. Amazon
It still works. 25 pumps will get the oil out. Once the syphon effect happens you just leave it be. Topsider is all metal except for the rubber seals and vacuum hose.
I thought about trying other ones like the Mityvac because it is reversible and would make it even less messy to get oil back into containers. Most say don't use gasoline with them. So I'm not sure the effect, if any, of running used oil through has on it.
For those who don't know, you can buy a cheap OBD bluetooth/wifi scanner ($10-20) that will let you read and clear codes from your phone. There are several apps, free and paid, that will connect to the OBD scanner.
Some apps will also have gauges and GPS synced datalogging, but at the least everyone should have an app that lets you read codes. 👍
This is my first new car as well. I didn't want to cheap out on a low quality camera in case something does happen. Also wanted parking mode in case a hit and run happens. It was also surprisingly easy to hardwire. I ended up going with a Thinkware U1000.
I got a solid deal on this dash cam on Prime Day, seems to be a highly recommended value option by the people over at r/dashcam. been working with no issues so far, although it’s hard to test how well the parking mode works. install was fairly easy depending on how neatly you want the cables to be tucked away and hidden. note that an SD card is NOT included with this one

The vinyl were from these gals! They do amazing work, heads up though. Everything is custom made so it's not 3-day shipping! But they are well worth it!
Ordered some velcro tape off Amazon to tape it to the back of these mats and hope it sticks to the carpet.

Ok I also.. had no luck. I honestly hate seat covers.. but i'm a dirty ass construction worker. The covers linked.. have worked awesome. they stay in place.. and come off in 10 seconds. Also look.. a lot better in the wrx then the link shows.

This isn't the cheapest option but it fits the '22 seat contours quite nicely and you can pick which colour you prefer. Doesn't rub/chaffe the seat fabric and I think it might provide a little better comfort (could just be placebo effect)

Another user (I have no idea how to tag a user in comments but the tag is lavenderantihero) on here used lamin-x and it looked great. They gave me explicit instructions on how to place them, I just haven’t had the opportunity because it’s raining pretty much every day lately. It looks great on theirs!

https://www.amazon.com/OASIS-AUTO-Leatherette-Automotive-Accessories/dp/B08H5V2QQN?ref_=ast_sto_dp . There is padding that is kinda excessive on the bolstering that make it tight fit for my body but I'm hoping that will wear down from use or I might attempt to remove some of it
I bought mine overseas when I was visiting family, so it might not be 100% the same as what I have (since mine is in Chinese)

here ya go! Comes painted silica black
I bought the WRX badged plate frame for mine:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HRXVLOW
It comes with two rubber bushings to act as a spacer between the trunk and frame/plate assembly. I think the bushings act as a damper because I've had no rattling there.
Okay so I don't know why that other photo did not post and now I cannot edit it. Anyway, the seat covers are there strictly for the dog. They do their job. If I would have actually removed the back seat they would have been a bit nicer back there. But since it's pretty much only the dog riding in back, no worries! As long as my seats are protected! Link to both is below.

Added this cover to the push button. Looks nice and clean and can't tell it's just a sticker. Doesn't interfere with the transponder chip in the fob either.
I bought them on eBay 7 years ago when I got my VA so I don't have the exact URL unfortunately.
I can't find the exact ones, but I found two similar ones:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01J3FC6JU/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_7CSSA6C422JY1VV2RK8V is a 12" version.
For anyone who doesn’t want to be limited to the OEM footwell kit setup (Bluetooth compatible, brightness & precise color wheel control, and hardwire-able), this is what I went with

So we ended up getting these off Amazon for the rear cause the dog in the back seat would set the chime off.

These are the original manufacturers.
Subaru just slaps in the STI label and triples the price. Y’all welcome.
not the same brand, but this is the model i used for a few years.
I bought the exclusive "JessicaAlba" edition and it fits great in my Subaru Ascent. My guess is it would fit the WRX as well.
I honestly just got the cheapest one on there, it was like almost $10, but I don’t know the difference between that one and the Subuspeed one, but should fit regardless, but like I said, no way to find out until my car gets here

I had purchased some LED bulbs to replace the reds. They were 400LM 6000K. Waaaaaay too bright. I ended up just putting one in the dome and one in a map light. I left the rest of the reds in. I'm not sure what brightness level I should get so will probably just live with my hybrid light set up. These are what I purchased.
Brighter white led lights. Gives the car a much more premium look. Amazon says they don’t fit but they fit just fine if you bend the clips a little bit. Cheap too and come with extras. I’m going to do the license plate lights as well eventually.

I haven't put in the mount I have on my car since I haven't gotten it yet, but if you're using iphone 12 or newer, this is what I'm using myself on my current car
