I think it looks good. The only question i have is will the paint hold up to the heat and cracking. I have painted plastic before not on my wrx but the wear and tear on the paint is the question i have. I guess time will tell how it holds up. because the last thing i would want on my car is the paint to start coming off and seeing the yellow underneith. But i like it, it dresses it up.
I painted my calipers blue on my wrx. I was tired of cleaning my car and the calipers looking milky white. So i bought some caliper paint called G2 and i like it alot better.
good luck with it

I llove your color choice , it's my personal favorite also.
I used duplicolor's high heat ceramic header paint and fr one year it has held up perfectly.
You , just like me , to find the time to take off the belt cover and do that too just like boloheadrat suggested.
Now if you have 40 buckarooos handy Ravspec has a blue anodized radiator sgroud in the vendor's forum , that would seriously give me mucho envy!
She's yours, so do with her what you will!
Wish I could find a picture of mine...that would get the rice police off of your back!

Im j/k. The piping from your intercooler looks HUGE. Especially the one closest to the person taking the picture. Is it bigger than normal fmic piping? BTW I will paint those yellow caps for you if you want!
