Default Creating a monster..

This is my 2004 subaru forester 2.0xt and its very very standard and have decided to create a monster on a budget(external + internal) and take pictures of everything that is changed(over a year or two)





now i would like some help like what things to add to it to make it look better and things like that.

=to do list=
((((((((( Exterior))))))))))))
- Exhaust(It needs to sound like a subaru !!!!!)
- Suspension(it drives like a sloppy **** atm) lowered
- Bumpers(the headlight washers are like water guns they spray people not the headlights but are great fun)
- de rack the roof(fill with blanks)
-Alloys
-paint(thinking of black or blue)wrapped or repainted
-grille(mesh grille)
-horn(red sports horns behind mesh grille)
-Struts(tighten up the car)
-james bond guns(???)
-tinted windows(gradient to the back window)
-mud flaps
-STI upgrade(maybe)
-remap
(((((((((((interior))))))))))))))
-boost guages
-maybe a plug and play
-LED colour coded
-Ejector seat(???) lol
-nice radio and sound system

they dont have to be new and i have a good set of connections from where i work to get a good discounts off some things like getting the car painted our nextdoor we have a car painter who gets alot of work directed to him from our work(it not be a huge discount but any discount is good.

tyres= we get a very good discount because my company is involved in motorsports like drifting and drag racing so tyres shred alot more

And their are alot a car breakers around my work and one of them has atleast 6 subaru's/foresters/imprezas/legacys.

and the amount i would spend by your prices is around what a sti costs ontop of my car but with discounts i should be able to get the price down abit but the education from doing all this should be worth it

I dont want it to be an sti its a maybe.

i just want to make the car look nice and get more power out of it and get more experience from doing it and wasting money on something i like to do is an OK with me.

my golf i bought for £900 and spent alot more than that on it but it looked nice and and had alot more power too(engine swap from a 1.8t golf so easy ish) but it was a boring car so i sold it for the same price to a friend.
