What is the offset of your wheels and size of your tyres mate? Are they catching on the rear arches (mostly passsenger side rear) and have you lowered the car and if so by how much?

I also have a Black Hawk STI with 18 x 9 ET35 Rota Force Drift wheels and they aren't catching now, but they were when she was a bit lower - I have BC Racing coilovers on.

My offset is ET38 and tyres are 225/40/18, Only catches on rears when I have 2 rear passengers and go over speed humps, but its ever so slightly catches. Havent put camber bolts on or rolled the arches yet!!

Not sure how low the coilovers are, but im running Eibach adjustable coilovers!!!

Nice hawk you got, the wheels look nice!!! Defo liking the STi centre caps, think another little mod on the list!!!

Have a mate selling a set of silver 18x8.75 XXR 527 from his hawk sti, nice wheels.:luvlove:

Sti fog covers come as standard on STi, think yours was added extra because the first owner probably wanted fogs lights!!!;)

Ha - cheers mate, yours is a cracker too - Always bet on Black! looks the best when clean and the worst when dirty :D

My tyres are the same size as yours so not as much stretch as you have the extra half an inch! I have a black intercooler core (Perrin) but the Zunsport full size black grille to protect it and a Grillcraft black grille on the hood scoop.

I have my rear light clusters painted smoke for the full stealth effect - wasn't too sure about it when I was getting t done but in the flesh it looks great.

Would love to swap my hawk boot lid for a blobeye widetrack(same colour) boot lid, prefer the clean debadged look, would take the badge off the centre of mine, but there is 2 holes behind it!!!:brickwall

Also got some HT rear bumper splitters to put on, spent most of yesterday painting them to put on today to take some pictures, but they ended up being a nightmare to fit, so got to do some cutting and sanding on them to fit perfect!!:wonder:

Bought some from the dealers for my blob STi years ago(7 years ago:D), and if I remember they didnt cost much at all, just give them your vin number/paint code and they come already painted.:thumb:

Easy to do, Just remove your grill and add the pin stripe so you can do it neatly !!:thumb: Its a copy of the Hawk Type RA-R
