Here's how it was before, who me bored easily?




And here's after STi lights and a bit of sticker removal and cleaning of years of road grime in the number plate resess. I was going to fit the large WRX sticker from Graham Goode, but I kind of like the clean look.

James IMO looks much better with the STi lights. As much as I want the lexuz ones to work, I am not sure that they do. Can't work out what I don't like though.

Looking good

100 times better with the proper lights, best to leave the fancy rear lights to the Nova crew me thinks

I would keep the rear as-is and not bother with the WRX sticker.

STi lights are much better.

Debadged look is also better. Just done it on my MY00 Turbo and I love it. A lot easier to wax/polish the boot too

LOL

Yeah I've had more than my share of aggro from people who thought my pride and joy should be their's over the years. Cossie's being the worst.
Even got followed home once and they tried that night to steal my car, had a tow truck in the car park etc, bastids!

The clean look is definitely WAY, WAY, better than the stickered up, lexus-clustered version. I would be tempted to put the Subaru badge on the boot - PhotoShop it first to see if you like it.

As it is....BEAUTIFUL looking car right now.

Keep those tacky GG stickers off it. They really suck. IMHO of course!

Looks mighty fine. I'd go for the WRX sticker, but get something slightly different, would look good in a chrome finish over the silver

Thats exactly what I have done to my car.
Debadged all silver colour coded. No tacky stickers...No Aftermarket lights... No fog light hanging off the back.

Just a nice big back box to hint that you might just be a little bit quick if you wanted to be .

Job well done, looks really good keep it that way.
Best wishes
Steve

I have small grey Prodrive and HKS stickers on my wings and boot.

So if you go for a sticker on silver and want to keep the cleaner look. Keep the sticker small and get the sticker in a slightly darker silver or grey. So it is kind of subtle two tone effect.

Again nice looking car, Especialy with 18s on.

Steve
