Rey's Hawkeye WRX
Hi to those of you who I havent met yet, Ive had my Impreza for almost 2 months now, having finally had enough of german cars. Here's a few of them:
In april i picked up my impreza, it already had the following mods:
full 3" japspeed exhaust
both cats taken out
remap
superchip
18" P1 Prodrive OZ alloys
I then added the following:
Boost and Oil Temp gauges
HKS Dump Valve
STI (replica) spoiler
3" Japspeed exhaust with single oval tailpipe
HKS Panel Filter
Apexi Turbo Timer
BC Racing Coilovers
and last but not least, BBS CH replica wheels, and it now looks like this:
(apologies for the pic whoring)
hope you like it, any comments/suggestions welcome

looks spot on.... if anything add a front splitter. Got two questions to ask , how do you find the BC coilovers ride road noise etc , I have the dreaded knocking rears shocks and I am not sure what way to go and have you spaced out the rear wheels, if so what did you use ?

thanks for all the comments guys...
daviee- the BC coilovers are brilliant, of the 21 sets of coilovers ive owned, theyre definitely in the top three. theres a balance of comfort and sporty ride, and id say theyre just as comfortable as stock wrx suspension.
the wheels arent spaced out, theyre just in VAG fitment, so theyve got lower offsets, pretty much perfect for a lowered newage impreza.
if anybody comes across some hawkeye fog covers, please let me know; theyre on the 'to-do' list along with a front splitter, rear diffuser and sti rear arch trims/bumper.

Some nice motors there you've owned
Seen your hawkeye a couple of times down NW London area and I'm sure I've seen that black golf in Brent cross shopping centre years ago.
Your impreza does looks very nice

Thanks for the kind comments guys 
Does anybody know how much I can sell my hawkeye front end for? And also roughly how much I'd have to pay for a prodrive bugeye front end?

There's method in the madness peter, I call it the "scrape up some money for a TD05-20g" scheme
Besides, unlike most people, I actually really like the prodrive bug front end
