Bit of a dilemma now.

This picture from 2 years ago has come to light and I'm thinking of taking the carbon fibre splitter off and putting the original one back on.

Thanks for that.
I took the splitter off today and replaced it with the other one, it looks pretty good too. I might sell the carbon one now ?

Carbon splitter removed and replaced with original splitter

How does it look now ? better or worse ??

I think it looks a bit meaner.

I'm going to spray the little bar in the middle of the splitter black.

Looks much better with the non-carbon splitter Geoff. If i'm honest though, i've always though the 2001/2 wrx/sti front bumper didn't suit aftermarket add ons.

Im still a bit undecided if I should paint the inner surround of the foglights, get some covers for them, or leave alone ?
I love that look on the bugs Not sure about painting the fogs - could work though.

Great job on the engine bay too looks superb - makes me reach for the cleaning gear myself..
