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.

I'm not a big fan of morette lights on the bugeye but when they have been painted like that they do look good, I think the splitter looks good now with the other black bits.
Keep up the good work

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 ?

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..

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.
Better!!
Yes spray the bar!
She looks properly angry!
