Is it just me or has the Hawkeye become attractive?
 

When the Hawkeye first came out I was with the majority of posters on Scoobynet and really didn't like it with it's silly roof spoiler and even dafter rear (max power) lights, and yet 3 weeks ago i bought one over my blobeye and really do think that it's the best looking scoob ever after the 22B. So how did that happen then? Have I just accepted the look or do Subaru always work a couple of years ahead in the styling stakes??

Simpsons !

Regrettably, it's just you :p


I remember the horror of first seeing a bug eye... Now I think a white RA looks fantastically slaggish. So yeah, maybe we're like Garth... "I fear Change"

Totally agree, get the back lights changed to the 05 ones and they look a lot better.

hawkeyes imo have the best looking front end, change the rear lights to the blobeye ones and you the the best newage

wiley

I own a late classic and i'm just starting to like the blob eye, the hawk eye in white really doe's float my boat now though. But the bug i'm still struggling with and the hatch back i don't like sorry:nono:

I nicknamed the Hawkeye "The Westbrook" when it came out. I'm converted now.:thumb: I don't worry about the rear lights, I almost never see them.

I think you need to be a a special kind of subaru owner to like the bugeye lol :)

I'm with you on that :thumb:

I really like the Hawkeye tbh and wish i had saved a bit more cash up for the spec c version.Alas i could only afford the blob version but after changing the rear end to a hawk eye i prefer it to any impreza on the market :)

"become attractive" :lol1:

I prefer the 06 hawkeye lights (with the darker bottom part) instead of the blobeye rear lights so i fitted those instead of the standard blobeye ones.I just think the blobeye rears look a bit dated now compared with the hawkeye ones which IMO freshens the car up a treat at the rear

Yep really growing on me to :)

Looks much better. Even more :cool: though would be for the "circle" to light up when lights turned on & "square" used for the brake light. JDMs do this ;)

I rushed to buy one of the last blobs as I really didn't like the Hawk. Now I think I prefer the Hawk.

However, the 2.5 WRX comes in at a higher tax bracket and uses more fuel, so I'm not too bothered.

As for the rear lights, I think the Hawk lights work well on a white car (like scooby-tc), but not on blue or black.

Hawkeyes are the best looking Impreza ever I'd say, each to their own and all that.

Keeping the rear lights and modding them with the black inserts looks sweet, same with the front lights as well.

Decisions, decisions.....:luxhello:

Personally I prefer the blobeye just but the hawkeye is well loved and rightly so :luvlove:

I agree, the hawkeye is the best looking Scoob since the bug-eye !

LOL

I've got a pair of brand-new '05 rear lights if anyone wants them to fit to their Hawkeye (see 'For Sale' section).

I bought them shortly after getting my Hawkeye because I didn't like the 'Lexus Style' rear lights (a bit too 'Max Power'). Unfortunately I never got around to fitting them and now the Hawkeye's been sold I have no further use for them...

Thats a mahoosive A pillar aerial you got there!

Simpsons !

My old scoob.

I love them both to be honest and I never thought I'd sell the Blob, But like i said in my original post the Hawkeye has become attractive! It was always smart but different, Now it's sexy!
