2002 PSM WRX ... Whatcha think?

Hey everyone,
I've been poking around the forums for a few months now, thought it was time to say hello and get more involved in the Subbie Community.

I bought my 2002 WRX last October and have been having fun working on it here and there. I hope to move to Stage 2 soon, and FINALLY start getting some track time in instead of daydreaming

Here are my mods and some pix:

Perrin Silicon Turbo Inlet Hose
Perrin Silicon Oil Catch Can
Perrin Up-Pipe
Samco Sport Silicon Intercooler Hose
Blitz FATT 2 Turbo Timer
K&N Drop-In Panel Filter

Interior
STI Shifter Trim
OEM Style Deadpedal

Exterior
STI Rear Skirt
STI Side Skirts
Pink "i" badge

Suspension
STI V7 Struts
STI Group N Strut Top Mounts
STI Group N Transmission Mount
STI Replica Strut Bars
Tanabe GF210 Lowering Springs
Hotchkis 25mm Sway Bars (F&R)
HD Sway Bar Mounts
Whiteline Steering Rack Bushings
Rota Tarmac 2 (17X7.5) Wheels
Yokohama AVS ES100 225/45/ZR17 Tires
Eibach Rear Alignment Kit

Brakes
Goodridge Stainless Steel Lines
Racing Brake Slotted Rotors (F&R)
Bobcat Street Pads (F&R)

Transmission

Cheers!

My photographer friend photoshopped the picture by decoloring everything but the badge. It makes it really punch out. It's a nice photo, no doubt

I'm going to debadge the car, and get a lip for sure. I'd like to take off the wing, but won't that leave holes? I'm thinking Koji headlights instead of JDM for now, since the JDMs are $$$$$.

Thanks everyone for the props!

That must be a LATE 2003 model; your paint is in amazing shape. My 02 WRX has deep pitting and missing paint on both the front and rear bumpers, just from everyday driving -- my hood has at least 20 noticeable chips

ya if you take the wing off it will leave holes. see if u can find someone to trade trunk lids with you or even better, get a carbon fiber trunk lid. yea i kojied my headlights and it came out really good, I highly suggest it!
