Really dislike twin headlight conversions on Imprezas (esp. the Classic). It's sooo 90s lol

So before for me without doubt.

Before for me too,
the slanty look is great on the classic.
I also think you should remove the fog cover to match your intake on offside, symmetry is best for me - just my opinion tho! and then you might have to change the nearside bonnet vent.

Twin headlight conversion look good on darker car(or try this painted darker color).

it would look soooo much better with standard bonnet vent back in , imo as you have the duct in the foggy , you shouldnt need it to vent air to filter ? but that is just my opinion , different people like different things

Agree about reinstaing the drivers bonnet vent (detest the look of those mini scoops, sorry).

And agree with Jura, twin headlights look far better with a dark surround e.g. colour-coded on a much darker coloured car. (But as said, not a fan of 'em regardless).

But hey man, forget opinions. It's YOUR car; you just do what makes you happy. Don't be swayed one way or the other, by us lot.

I don't like the white wash, the lights are 'ok' it's just too much.

I run one of those in the drivers side for trackdays but I prefer OEM for normal use

Before Matt
Get it changed back ASAP if it was mine.
Oh and I'll get a pic of the reverse scoop/22b vents up soon as I painted them ready to go and just need to fit them

Before but if you are going to change the headlights you may as well do the black mod on the headlights and get some black side lights, goes well with white
