05 STI swapped into 02 wagon

This my STI swapped wagon. Pretty much everything from the motor to the carpet was swapped. Minus the IC sprayer and rear viw mirror. Still a long way to go but the foundation is there. Please feel free to let me know what you think and any suggestions you may have. Plan to paint the wheels and side skirts as well as add the sti scoop and splitter.

Thanks for lookin, Jimi

next, probably stage 2 considering the sti is all stock and still really low miles. That, after side skirts, hood scoop painting and maybe paint the wheels as well. I bought the car from Alchemy Motors at which is ran by a good friend of mine. He sold me the car for a bit above cost. Pretty inexpensive overall. Alchemy Motors is the one to talk to if you are lookin for a salvage sti to swap. He is able to get vehicles for wholesale at auction.

white would be very different. only thing i dont like about white is it is really hard to keep them clean and since there wheels they would get dirty pretty quick. BUT again, everyone has different taste. If you have run black before and wanna try and new look white would def. be a unique way to go. And if you dont like it, you can always change it

Mainly because I do not have the coin for the headlighs at the moment. That and not only did it come with the dash I should be able to utilise once the jdm headlights are installed. Still a project in the works.

was fooling around on nasioc.com and came up on this. Thought you would like to see it.

Just scroll down the page a little bit. They are on a wrb 02 but just to give you an idea of what they would look like.
