Looking for your opinions on next little mod
Hi Guys,
I have a blob eye sti in blue.
I am looking to perform a little mod once i get car back from paint shop (getting boot resprayed due to classic spoiler rust)
I have outlined a few options and looking for your opinions on what to go for as I am lost!!
*Mudflaps
*Front and rear strut brace
*HID fitting kit
*STI wing stiffi's
Any thoughts or any other suggestions?
Cheers

Apologies to hijack, what size rear ARB and best place to buy both ARB and drop links from, is it wise to replace the front ARB aswell?
Already had the full alignment done, will need re setting up after?
Cheers

You shouldn't need to get your wheel alignment redone unless you disturb any bolts or settings other than the ARB ones

Cheers mate, I am thinking a set of mudflaps from scoobyworld. Just a plain blue set.
I dont drive the car hard enough to need an arb and I think the mud flaps would set the car off

-You won't notice front and rear strut braces much and you don't need to make the car stiffer.
-HIDs - I have a feeling there are legality issues about installing these, check on the lighting forum of this website as the answers are there.
-Wing stiffi's - personally not a fan.
Is the car on a sports exhaust with a remap?
Front splitter?
Black dash instead of silver?
Better door speakers?

I haven't and won't. He can and might however, the title of the thread is 'Looking for your opinions on next little mod'. I gave him my opinion.

Wing Stiffi's I think may be a bit of a nightmare to install
Strut braces, yeah I think they would not add that much to the handling
Mudflaps- I am still unsure tbh- Not sure again if they look taccy of not?? I am after a 'clean' look and not sure if these spoil it or not.
Already got a front carbon splitter
Door speakers, now there is something- mine are terrible!!!! Would not want to spend a fortune though.
Thanks!!

I do have one major dilemma though....
So the boot lid has a little rust where the spoiler meets it-due to the weather stripping prob knackered. Its not too bad but you can just see it if looking close.
My bonnet has a lot of stone chips on it and one slight dink from a stone chip. Annoys me a lot.
What one of the two panels would you get resprayed- I can only afford one panel to be done@ £200 a panel!
My brother thinks im mental even considering the bonnet, but i think it would look great. However rust on bootlid should prob be dealt with first?

HID's - the most important thing you could ever do. Standard halogen lights are just big candles and should be banned from being used. I really believe we would see a reduction in traffic accidents at night especially in the countryside if this happened.
I would punt for a set of proper OEM JDM Xenons though!
Perrin Stifis - whats the point?
Mudflaps - look gash (as already mentioned)
but its your car, dress it up how you want, but id spend the money on more functional things, even cheap bits like polybushing the roll bars and putting in some solid drop links

Don't think they did an oem hid headlight for the Blob, they did for the Bug and the Hawk iirc though.

In my view this (the S204) was the very best four door Impreza ever made, and all the mods are nice and subtle - would make a great basis for your mods as and when your budget allows:
