Nice car mate....I'm starting to like the Hawkeyes the more I see them
Next thing I'd think about is possibly the suspension as it looks a little high. Plus if you get coil overs and lower it the handling will be improved. Lovely car...enjoy it

Become good friends with your bank manager. As there is no known cure for the Subaru modifying bug once bitten.
Joking aside the main thing to do is decide what you want to do with the car. Yes I know drive it, as getting the wrong mix of parts could cause a lot of ear ache.

It's also a pain when you spend a load of cash on a part only to replace it again month's later with a better or more suitable part.
Happened a few times...my advice write a long list (even if some things are out of reach or unsuitable for your motor at the moment) then cross them off your list as you go along.

No I haven't yet. Seen one with a carbon fibre wing...that looked cool.
Have a look at this one in the garage;

I believe you can cover the front ones without any probs. I've never heard of anyone being pulled up because of it. After all you could always take the cover's off it does get foggy and you need them

I don't know where you'd get them from....if you buy the ones with the sti on them sometimes it's just a sticker set you put on afterwards so in that case you could just not put them on, or if they are on them from new then you could always use a hairdryer to heat the sticker glue up then slowly peel them off. After that t-cut & wax and it should look good as new.
