i understand what you mean jimbob but i think it will make the car look alot fresher as imo it looks a bit dated at the front.

and forgot to mention its had clear side indicators fitted and the stickers removed since the pics were taken.

hopefully have some more pics sometime this week.

Yeah mine is a prefacelift and I prefer the older look as its 17 years old, so isn`t new. I wish they made crystal lights in the same shape as the prefacelift lights mind you, as they`d be nice for a change. But I prefer the look of the original Impreza as it was that shape I saw Colin McRae drive and he won the World Championship that year.

But I like the fact its old and spanks a lot of newer cars, my mates 1991 Nissan Pulsar is the same, both with glass lights with patterns on the inside, and doing well for old timers lol.

Nice spec on yours, and in the original pics looks a LOT like mine.
