I think your pictures are taken too close to the car to really see what it's like. Have you got any from further back? Side on?

Quite like the bumper, agree with above post that the mesh should be black, and ditch the mesh in the scoop, not keen on the rear spoiler, but like has been said need some pictures further away

The standard WRX hatch, especialy in a dark colour, must be the the plainest looking Scooby ever and you have turned one into something much more eyecatching. I prefer the front view to that from the rear, which is a bit of a shame because with around 225 bhp per ton, the rear view is the one most people will have.

Not my cuppa .... far too F'n'F!

Some better pics from further away might help, the first pic, being right ontop of it when you took the photo makes it look realy snow plowy

like this but in black!

But least your doing some dirty bits too and not just piling bodykits and big blingy wheels onto a standard car!

how much has this car lost in value considering all the cash that has been spent on it....
sure its modified to someones own personal taste, but has that person lived several years of his life in a straight jacket

the bumper section, the grill area these were never meant to be surely !? the headlights and bonnet, the big gap.. whats going on there...

do you really have an affection/affliction to the styling on yours mate ?

(Affliction) refers to a condition or cause of suffering

see the pain in my face !

I followed this car through Brum on Sunday, and it certainly sounds the part.
Get the bigger blower now Carl, you've done all the hard bits.
