Default styling thoughts

i took this photo last week after a polish,
im going for a subtle styling look on my car as im not a fan of large spoilers stickers etc.
it has recently had coilovers fitted to get the ride height nice and had some ap brakes fitted this weekend (after pic was taken) .
i have fitted a diffuser,splitter and roof vane i also have a genuine spec c roof vent in the garage.
would the vent be too much or enhance the look?
any thoughts welcome as i cant decide as this was my final mod to do cosmetic wise.

Personal opinion is that its spot on... think a roofy would be overkill...

enough is enough mate. knowing when to stop is the secret. looks just right and very desirable the way it sits. interested though on the brakes, was this done only for track days etc...

yep your exactly right,im at the enough point i think but just after others opinions.

yes the brakes are for track days, i have had coilovers antilift kit and whiteline arbs and cdf drop links fitted, i have ap on the front now and some rears fitted soon.

im looking to run 400ish bhp later this year as i have an sc46 turbo to be fitted and a few other engine mods and fmic

If you didn't have the roof spoiler then I'd get the roof vent fitted, but it would now look over fussy with a vent fitted plus the roof spoiler.

Plus no point trying to make an STi into a Spec C.

^^ (only joking by the way) ^^
