Hawkeye WRX's show yourselves,
Here's some of the evolution of mine, show me yours,...
soon after purchase, new (with power upgrade ((dont ask))), Jan06.
Only mod at this point being DIY fog covers,
now with the prodrive rep wheels (hated the colour), zero sports carbon spoiler lifters, front lip, and the quest for more Bhp has begun...
Wheels colour changed to a VW anthrasite and Matt lacquer, suspension revisions begin,
After much pressure to change my marmite spoiler lifters I went for the 06> STi look, a rear diffuser, and carbon mirrors.
A mate purchased a set of second hand rims, they arived in Rota boxes, in one box was a Rota leaflet, and that's why I now have Rota's.
zunspor lower grillet, a set of tinted headlamp covers and DIY No: plate delete to complete the dark look.
Following the suspension set up I realised I did actually need more brake performance so went for the K-sport 8 pots and 356mm rotas, soon upgraded to EBC blue stuff pads.
And how she is today, (for now atleast).
Decided to try spoilerless and de-badged,
DIY RB320 additional front lip and ditched the diy n/s fog lamp cover for a Ht autos item.
C'mon lets see em,..

Mine looked like this when new in March 2006, spoiler and flaps pretty much fitted at day 1!
And this is what she looked like when I sold in 2009 for my current MY08 STI.
Liking the latest incarnation of yours.

Sure was, as I'd had it from new I new every mark on it, if I had it now though it would be a lot lower with some low offset rims, funnily enough just like yours!!
As for the hatch, love it but the Hawk was a brilliant daily driver that was pretty cheap to run and a great introduction the Scoob ownership.

A few of mine...
When I got it in 2009, one previous owner
Winter 09 mods start!! Prodrive grills and roof vane fitted
Rear de-badge and body colour boot lock
Sti clocks added
Spec-C interior parts and Prodrive ****
One year on, added Sti bumper and arch trims
Bigger boot spoiler..
Added front lip and painted the lower Prodrive grill black
Spec-C roof vent
STi Spec-D leather interior
Customised switches (radio has since gone)
Diff Guard and Blitz Nur Spec-R Exhaust
New wheels, OZ Superleggera 18x8
Brake upgrade
And as she looks now
Black JDM rear windows added, just need to wire in the rear wiper motor
Really want to do something with the rear lights, too silvery!!! But not sure what yet.
Needs more black!

Black-Hawk, im working on that part already, not sure how it'll turn out, time will tell...
Flaps, got it from japanparts.com, cant remember what I paid, but it was expensive!!!
Easy to swap over, undo a few screws and the panels just pop out

Tinting rears can look cheap imo, that's why I Havnt gone there, I think the best rear upgrade is the blob lamps...

Right, few pics of my car, apologies for the poor res pics at the end.
When new, 1 year old & standard.
With 18" wheels fitted, springs, back box & brake upgrades soon after purchase.
After quite a few tuning mods last year.
As it is today. Carbon window top spoiler & carbon STI boot spoiler, temporary wheels while mine get a good referb.
STI fog covers due next week with a few other bits. Will update post when I finally get things right and a decent camera again!
Another pic taken today with fog covers fitted.

Here's a couple of mine:
Nothing major done thus far, but got a few things planned. Needed a wagon for the space, so had to be a WRX (new hatch is just a little too small in the back for me). I would like to bring it up to as close to STI spec as I can. Some great cars in here so far, loving the STI clocks as well, that looks like a fun mod
