I don't mind it, but is it not the 'storm kit'? theres one on SIDC - Braveheart is his user name I think, with 650bhp.

WIder wheels to fill the arches and a big FMIC and your sorted!

Colour is lovely but definately looks to me like the wheels need spacing out more. Whoever did this for you though looks as if they have done a reasonable job & everything seems to line up nicely. Definately not something I'd do but as lots have said; "each to there own".
Now you just need 800bhp to lug all that kit about

each to there own but think the only good to come out of you doing that is it will make others who were maybe considering body kitting theres appreciate it more in standard form lol as said though the body shop seem to have worked to a high standard

Like the colour and wide arches if the wheels were a lower offset to push them out, but the front bumper is a bit ott for me.

£1200 inc the spraying ??

To be honest thats a bloody good price even if the kits not to everyones taste .....

If you like it thats the main thing , personally i do like kits on impreza's maybe not QUITE so severe though but the c-west etc is right up my street .......

If it was £1200 inc the spraying can you PM me please as im looking at having some paintwork done in the very near future ....

Would have fallen in love with the car had it NOT had the body kit on.They look much better with either a 22b kit OR as the factory intended in my humble opinion.If you like it though,thats all that matters.Enjoy your car now its done.

Oh dear lord. Not for me at all. But it's your car so it doesn't matter what other people think about it. Until you come to sell it of course One thing I would say would be to get some wider wheels to fill the arches better and it looks odd having big wide arches and the wheels sitting 4" inside of them imo.

Space the wheels out 30-40mm, remove the front bumper corner spats and chuck on a front mount and the look will change for the better imo.

Not my thing but there is potential to be original and look good there

Not my cup of tea, then at my age I'd look stoopid in a car like that.

Not to say it isn't nicely done.

some 18x10's with an aggressive offset will make it look a million times better.

as many have said, looks like a decent job, but not to my tastes.

Plus if you do have to kit an impreza, there are plenty of better looking kits out there.

You only need look at some aftermarket VW rims say 8inch or so wide with an ET(off set) of 35, 30 maybe, and this should fill the arches just right. It'll be the cheapest way of getting the stance right. Dotz make a good inexpensive range of 5x100 pcd rims, and these are typically 8inch wide. Roadsters in 19inch dia are stupid cheap for example. Thats the ibher Design kit isn't it?
