which I never liked when the hawkeye came out however in person they look very good but I know what you mean about non-standard lexus style lights being fitted. I hate them too.I like subtle mods, rolled tip straight through exhaust which opens up the lovely burble, good brakes, suspension, and a good healthy remap making things reliable, twin scroll turbo (although you would lose the burble).
Hate VTA (vent to atmosphere) dump valves, lowered to the ground suspension, and stainless headers (exhaust manifold) - every car I've known have this mod, including my own cars, develop a blow at some point (love the sound though).

Don't get put off. It's just my personal experience. Many people run stainless headers with no issues. Its a very good mod powerwise. Its just pot luck whether you will get a blow. Good ones with good joints stop blows happening more than others. It's mainly down to the fact stainless steel is not as strong or as thick as cast metal. If money was no object I'd still get some headers and keep fixing a blow if one developed. You don't really lose power I was told if a blow or crack develops (not on normally aspirated cars anyway) it's just more of an annoying niggle when you can hear it blowing.

Best- Roof vent (gen RA/ Spec C)
Worst- Lexarse lights, stick on vents!
All the rest is personal taste! Lexarse lights are that crap even Lexus stopped using them!

I'm really hating people putting a big 'SUBARU' graphic on the bonnet at the moment, why do they do that? :/ We all know it's a Subaru so there's no need to advertise it.
Also hate those combination headlight/ sidelights you can get nowadays, total gash!

love big power, subtle subarus, and big brakes 
hate silly coloured vehicles, ie orange/green ect and stupidly low subarus.
but mostly i hate seeing big power lovley cars being constantly broken because they are practically worthless
