The shape of the front end of the Bugeye does not lend itself to the STI 8 scoop, however the Bugeye STI scoop looks spot on.

Genuine Blobeye STi scoops do not fit bugeyes as they are shaped for the later bonnet.Replicas look gash on anything other than blobeye IMO so i would stick with the 01-02 STi scoop if i was the OP

NO !

You dare fit one, I'm coming round to give you a slap.....

Seriously, they look gash on a blob-eye WRX, never mind the STI sized abomination....

IMHO

P.S. First was best, the panic facelift was just pants..... but the hawkeye has something going for it.

Stick with the bugeye sti scoop, ive seen a few with the version 8 style scoop and they didn't look so good

Dont do it mate the blobeye sti scoop only looks good on the blobeye.

Get a bugeye STI scoop as sai above as its bigger than wrx scoop & looks 100 times better.

Listen to the masses, I had one on mine for a year when I fitted the STi TMIC and was sooo glad i removed it when I went FMIC.

Doesnt suit any onther scoob bar the blobeye.

My mate's car (Wiley on here):

Don't think it looks too bad on his bug.

Another bug with it:


I think if your car's standard then it's a no-no cos it does look a bit too big for a bug:

IMHO Wiley has just about got away with it, due to the overall look of the mods.....

Nice.
