STI have a cleaner look, although they're almost a 10yr-old design. Not sure about those Afterburner lights at all.

Personally, I like these ones

thats the very ones i was thinking of oz, i think the smoked lenses would go really well with the rb5s steel blue colouring. i like the sti lights but i aint paying over 200 quid for them, i like the afterburners too but id want them colourcoded i think, and cant really be bothered with that

I got a set of new Lexus style lights for my MY95 WRX the same as the bottom ones in one of ozzys earlier posts. My car is black and the chrome rears look the muts.

Oh I forgot to mention I got them for £100 brand new, SWEET!!!
