Blacked out the headlights, should have done it years ago.

Also you may notice these photos are not of it in the garage.

Looking good!

The tow point sticks out like dogs balls but I like it haha.
22B scoops and the blacked headlights make it look mean as. Keep up the good work

Are we placing bets on what's the first thing you hit with that tow point?

Looking awesome!

Cheers

It was the driveway on its first trip out of the garage.

It does kinda hang quite low.

Played with some plasti dip. Don't think I like the look after all.

After a short discussion on another forum I think the caps need to be black as well.

The black looks mint I say! Looks great on almost all cars.

Did the center caps much happier now.

Now to get my fog light covers and front lip repainted.

Fitted a GD pedal set.

Possibly the most difficult thing I have ever done to the car. Partly because of the position its parked in at the moment, but mostly because the roll pin on the accelerator pedal just would not come out. Ended up putting on my butchers apron and hacking off the old pedal then drilling up the middle of the roll pin to soften it. Guess after 14 years it was fairly stuck.

Had the car out for a bit of a run today, so snapped some shots. I'm still not settled on the black wheels though.

Bolted in the rear strut brace I picked up for added shinny stuff and placebo effect.

Thought seeing as I've been bed ridden for a couple of days with some dodgy virus, I though might put my gauges in my gauge pod.

Excuse the crappy pictuers I not feeling the best.

Will make the hood so it still lifts up like the lid did because with the double din there is no other storage.

And the opening ceremony (cbf imbedding)

Changed the cluster over to white led's. Took a fair bit to remove the green but I got it done. It will need a diffuser layer in there to even the light out but its not as bad as I thought it would be.

Nice looking Impreza you have there - you've done an awesome job!

Thread update time.

Played with some vinyl wrap. Doesn't go that well on MDF. When you peel it off it pulls bits of MDf with it then you end up with an uneven finish.

Will leave it this way for the next little while and do something better later on.

Also needs some more trimming around the outside.

New wheels.

Yeah mate, those white mags really set the rest of the WRX off - does a loads better job than the black rims

When will we be getting some track day action images???
