Default I hate my mouth, front bumper alternatives

Hey fellas
I have a sti v4 and I think the 3 piece front bumper, not to clued up as its my 1st subaru and only now fave then funds to tart her up.
I'm finding it hard to find pictures of my bumper with a nice splitter INFACT I haven't found one, I think it might be due to the curve in it
My question for you guys is what alternative bumper can I swap it over with, for a more agressive front end with a splitter, I love the picture of roger clarke car below any ideas, also the others are quite nice just looking to get some advice on ease of fitting as well.
Mine is the standard one obviously

Mine


Dogs doodahs



Gorgeous


What's a popular choice guys

I prefer yours.
You could always paint/wrap the centre lower section black to make it look more agressive.

Straight swap as far as I know. From second glance the RCM one has some sort of splitter like a P1 splitter and the blue one has a splitter too.

It's a straight swap. Just search for a classic bumper from 98-01

They have the same bumper on all models of Impreza's of that age, Sport, WRX, STI

So basically I can get a v5/6 bumper then buy a splitter seperate, without having to modify or buy a later bumper rail.
Thanks for the pics guys.

No, but, what you will have to do is buy everything else that goes with it.

Crystal headlights, V6 grille, indicators.

If you're going to do it, do it properly.

Nope he has the early 'patterned' lensed headlights and early facelift grille.
