Frayz, go for the wrc style bonnet, it will look smart in black 
wimprezawrx this thing is looking awesome
I`m loving the little details like the black rubber strip on the bumper etc. So close to finishing it now

Dank voor een grote draad!
It's been emotional!!!
Sad to hear it's your last update next, can't you have a sudden change of mind and go for another look?
Just kidding, I recently spent a long time trawling the classifieds to find a white bug eye too, as I really fancied something like yours (although I couldn''t have hoped for it to be so good) however the wife has noticed and I am under strict instructions that I am not allowed to change the classic for some time, ho hum!
Hope you get over to the UK at some point and we can see it in the flesh!
If you must, bring on the final update...............

The WRC S7 headlights bezels...
This token me the most off my time...
Because I have a WRX (H4) and not a WRX STI (2 X H7?),
I hade to make harnesses for the headlamp wire ring..
Started with the H7 ones...these are going to be the high beam ones...
For the Low beam ones it’s H9, also going to be Xenon’s in a later stadium…
I let them to rest, because there will be Xenon in those at a later stadium…
Next made the harness for the turn lights and signal lights you call theme ??
I hade the old headlamp still, so I got the wiring of that so I won't have to cut in the harness of the car...
In this picture you can see, that I made the wiring suitable to the standard of the car...
Next was a moulding around the headlight bezels, very accurate work but necessary...
For the top mount off the headlights bezels, hade to drill a hole to mount it...
was to bad that I couldend use the "old" hole due to the alarm system.
it will be something like this...
The test fitting...

Wimprezawrx,
Do you have any idea how much the bonnet weighs?
Also, how much work was needed to get it to fit correctly? Did it need much work to get the panel gaps right? Im intersted in ordering one for my own car but have quality concerns.

I kinda didn't want you to finish this because I've enjoyed reading through the thread so much! Top job mate, the finished product really does make all the work you've put in worthwhile, quite possibly the best bugeye I've ever clamped eyes on

This has turned into one of the best quality modifications I've seen on any car, it has been a pleasure to read through it and finally see the end result. You should be rightly proud. I really look forward to seeing your car at the Scooby Shootout.
Absolutely fantastic.
