Personally I think it looks crap, but if you like it then that's all that matters mate.

I love the pink writing (STI standard writing) on my fog light covers and the grill badge.

You're a very brave man but unfortunately...... I'm out!

its not sour fella, its an opinion, your engine is filthy at least clean it first and the spoiler sticker is awful.

having a blob myself it makes me a bit sad if the new wave of blob owners consider this tasteful

Will be interesting to see how it turns out, rome wasn't built in a day and all that sh!te.

I'm not a fan of pink but can appreciate when something's done well regardless of taste.

I'm not one to post many negative comments as I prefer to reserve judgment until the bay is complete.

at the moment the pink looks a little out of place & I know the subaru engine bays can be one of the worst to get to look good. But good luck with your project mate and keep us upto date with pics as you progress I'm keen to see the transformation

I think tommy jumped the gun abit I see what he is saying, but anyone in their rite mind can see your not going to stop there, some nice black intercooler pipes few bits of bling and it will look cool.
But I agree with everyone on the sticker that just doesn't work even another colour sorry.

having seen the pink pipes on other imprezas, they quickly fade and look poor.
im not sure what your doing power wise but to tidy up the engine bay i would remove the top mount and fit a fmic and then the chrome pipes tidy up the engine bay no end.

Don't really think silver and pink go. Black and pink would look good.
Not sure what colour would go with silver tho
