Not yet; car's up at DB and the motor just got there, so we're doing some shuffling to get an open stand for the rebuild. Should have it back shortly

Heh, I sourced them from a UK vendor a few years back. Not sure if they're made anymore, and tougher to find in LHD beam patterns. They're Morettes, and they run aobut $850 before tax, shipping, and customs, then add another 300 or so for the basic HID kit.

Depends on which exhaust. Borlas are stock, the Apexi setup was full custom from the headers to the can. The STi setup is a modified STi midsection with resonator to new piping to connect to the STi can and an extension on the tip to get it out to the bumper.

So, as of midnight last night, it's running, for the first time in almost 2 months 
Some little stuff to get cleaned up, then I get it back early next week. A huge thanks to my old friend and all-around Subaru pimp, Paul down at DBTuned, who went way above and beyond to take care of my pile o' crap
And.........
Yes, I sold the BBS's before putting them on the car because a friend fell in love with them, and I picked up some bronze Rota G-Forces in 17x8 since that color looked so awesome before; I'll probably end up with some gunmetal 17x8 Torques shortly too.
I'll post pics once I get it back and cleaned up (there's another surprise
)

After all the trials and tribulations of past shop screwups, shoddy work, broken parts from dismantlers, delayed shipments, et cetera, she's back in my hands, and it feels damn good.
I want to thank all of my friends who helped me out while the wagon was down.......it means a lot to me that you guys were there when I needed you.
Ed and Seri, for being badass and hooking me up with the drift car for way longer than either of us thought it would take, and never stressing.
Rich, for driving me all over hell's creation to meet people, to pick up cars, and being available wheneverI needed help.
Josh and Deede, for hooking it up with random parts along the way as well as some key parts to finish up the project.
Rabbit, for helping out with all the block cosmetics and for saving my *** when I needed help the most.
Tony at the yard for helping me out with all the little parts for the 4.11 conversion.
Nick, for the blingin' new rims.
The rest of you dorks for all the moral support along the way.
And last, but definitely not least, Paul, for taking on a basketcase of a car with umpteen different issues for months, never complaining, and delivering something that is much better than I had any right to expect given the abuse the car has been through over the last 7 years.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate all the help. You guys are the best friends I could ask for.

If by "fix" you mean "ignore completely", yes :rotfl:
I'll get some colormatched paint and go over it, but it's not too bad.
