Default Fire away warriors

Bought the kit, hate the rear and skirts so I'm selling them. My view is the back end of the classic has always looked bigger than the front. Wanted the make the front a little bigger. Next is KW variant 3s.

I think I can make the look work. If not I will sell and swap to the old bumper but all good fun experimenting.

The bottom edge will be black. There is Ali sheeting venting all air from the front hole, straight to the FMIC, so it is technically doing something lol

I definitely got out of Subaru ownership at the right time if this is the way it's going.

Why, because someone done something thats not to your taste!!!

Dont matter what car you got there will always be one that wont be to your taste. I love Nissan GTR's and I have seen some really badly modified ones. but it would not stop me from buying one(if I could afford it) look at this GTR, hope the Nissan community dont end up like this!!!

Exactly. Everyone has different tastes. I have reasons behind doing it

Is this the Mk 3 WR1, following on from the Grey slate metallic Porsche Chargespeeded chimera thing on another thread?

(Sorry - couldn't resist letting humour out of the bag )

Humour apart, keeping original bits is always a good idea imo.

No because lots of people are now doing things to classics that are utterly tasteless!

Looks like bubba's bottom lip (the black guy off Forest Gump)

I think it looks awful, but it's not my car or money so knock yourself out dude, whatever floats your boat.

Would keep the looks oem or oem+, spend the money on adding a handling pack, upgrade the brakes then look for a little more power, less is more plus why worry about front bumpers but you could be sat behind the wheel

That's not a good look IMO

I do like the spoiler though, would suit a track car.

I put Brembos and a 6 Speed DCCD from an 07 STI and as I said, KW coilovers variant 3s are going on next.

Lol I know what you mean but when I paint it, I'm sure it'll work. When I first put the spoiler on and front splitter on the old bumper, it didn't look quite right.

If you look at a classic, side on. The back always looks big compared to the front. I think this will even it out

The style isn't bad, I just think it sticks out too far and ruins the lines.

Still, if you like it then fair enough, but for a track car I'd be looking for a one functional one. (Splitter, canards etc)
