Looks great fella , lowering her on teins will look the muts nuts , heres a pic of mine lowered on teins to give you a rough idea , (splitter going on next week ) the height is fine for humps and bumps etc , and the comfort is not too bad at all either


The only thing i'd change is , i'd lose the sti badges and stickers on the fog covers , i'm not a fan of incorrectly badged up motors , my opinion of course

I'm probably not going to make any mates here but I don't get the point in making a WRX look exactly like an STI, sorry. I think taking some of the styling tips from it is fine but I just don't get the whole replica thing. Personally i'd take the fog light covers off and put the smaller scoop back on to make it look more like a nicely modded WRX than an STI wannabe.

Really disagree the stickers will be coming off yes there is no sti badges on the car, If people ask its a wrx prodrive, The scoop is there for a reason its bigger so in turn it takes im more cold air, The Spoiler i feel helps keep the back pushed down alot harder, I only put the fog covers on becasuse i had a smashed fog light, end of day i know its not an sti even thore has the same power, It looks exactly how i wanted it and im happy with the power, My insurance and road tax is also alot cheaper than the sti

Looks like it's been done well though.

Looks great with what you've done to it, If you are removing STi from fog lamp covers you could replace with the SWRT swoosh, or Colin McRae / Richard Burns memorial insignia.

Then again I'd probably fit an STi TMIC and say 'sod ya' now there's a legit reason to keep STi decals

I dont suppose you've still got your old spoiler? A mate of mine is after a bigger WR Blue spoiler.

PS,looks well

Looks great, but can't help thinking that the cost of making a WRX look like an STi is probably greater than just chopping it in for a real STi To compound that, I know people who've done similar and their insurance on what is now a modified WRX has been double that of a standard STi
