I'm pretty pleased with my ride BUT I would definitely have to drop and STi RA block and tranny into my bug-eye and add some STi bucket seats and a roll-cage....
How about you?! Or do you have everything you need

Ooooh man, this will take a while... (BEWARE: lots of factory rice, and general questionable mods)
* STI Short-Throw Shifter with STI Shifter Bushing
* STI 5-speed shift ****
* Bosal muffler
* Borla unequal-length (UEL) headers
* waterproof cold-air intake with heat shield
* intake snorkel (for water/mud/river crossings)
* strut tower braces front and rear (a source tells me the rear STI strut tower brace for WRX wagon might work on the BG6)
* custom lower chassis brace to connect subframe to engine cross member
* RallyArmor mud flaps
* thick stainless steel front skidplate
* thick stainless steel underbody skidplate (covers underbody where factory rear-diff guard and front skidplate do not protect)
* Safari rally-style radiator guard
* KYB shocks/struts to reduce bottoming out in spirited driving, while providing a stiff-enough spring rate for off-road use
* stiffer anti-roll bars, easily detachable for off-road use
* if available/possible, pillow ball type joints in lateral link and trailing link set
* stiffer suspension bushings
* STI Strut Mounts
* 2-inch strut lift-kit
* STI transmission mount or custom
* STI upper transmission mount or custom
* STI motor mount or custom
* stainless-steel mesh clutch and brake hoses
* tougher timing belt
* custom-mounted SPT gauge set
* STI Pedal Pad Set
* custom stainless steel radiator shroud that closes gap between radiator and core support
* Samco Sport hoses throughout engine bay
* STI Radiator cap
* 15 or 16 inch durable BBS wheels
* SPT Oil Cap and Battery Hold Down
* Castrol EDGE Syntec 20W-50 motor oil
* Exedy Stage 1 clutch upgrade
* Pirelli Scorpion ATR (on and off-road tire)
* HAWK Performance Pads (HP Plus)
* Brembo or AP Racing gravel rotors
* Deka backup battery
* PIAA headlight bulbs, plus many auxiliary lights (2 fogs, 2 driving, 2 spotlight minimum), with addition of Hella LED daytime running lights
* full-on Yakima roof rack setup for maximum cargo capacity with spare tire(s) mounted up top
* full disaster emergency kit w/ tiny food bars and several packets of emergency drinking water
* HAM radio (if I get my HAM radio license)
* LED turn-signal lamps
* baffled oil pan
* forged engine internals
* maybe twincharged engine (supercharged and turbocharged EJ255 possibly)
To be honest, my list could very well be bigger, but that's all I could add at the moment.

Almost everything, since my car is stock. LOL!
I guess most important things first:
I'd like an STi 6sp transmission
Lots of suspension parts
Nice wheels (I like the Version 7 STi BBS rims)
Tint
Exhaust
