get some wheels and paint your skirts. Wheels will make or break a car.

1 ov the best colour scoobys u can get... imo

wheels, de-tango front end, splitter, colour code, sti rear clusters, tint rear windows, angeled exit exhaust and i think it'd do the job...

ps every one including me hates gold wheels, but on this colour.. they work.

I have this colour, its sweet.
I put on white 18's on the inovit tarmacs.
Sti rear lights, detangoed, ninja 2 exhaust, and lowered it. Apart from that, thats about it, I was going to do the skirts the same colour as car, but to be honest i think the black trim breaks it up a bit.
Its your car you decide whether or not to paint them.
Good luck.

That looks better with black wheels. And maybe a P1 style front splitter? I don't think much more needs doing in my opinion, you can go too far, bolting on bits everywhere (lexus lights, bigger scoop etc)
