Great looking car and the mod list seems to be just right as well.

After your success with the rear bumber fitment and the trunk key delete have you thought about a rear door handle delete as well.

I haven't personally seen this done on an Impreza but I am new to the suby community. Friend did it to his GLI and it looked so clean. If it is usually only u and maybe 1 other than it isn't that big of a pain. If you have child seats strapped in the back of that thing it may be a bit of a PITA.

Just thought that would go very nice with the clean lines you have already established.

By the way.
I believe this is my first post here. Been reading up in here for awhile after Aug. purchase of my 05 WRX wagon. A long time Volvo owner and regular over at turbobricks.com.

I can only hope that all the cars you guys build and discuss here look like this.
Looking forward to learning alot from this community.

thanks
- Pat D

The white scoop on the black hood, makes the scoop look really large!

I'm not too big a fan of carbon fiber on white but I think it looks great with the white scoop.
If you do get a cf trunk please paint it white!
Also, how do you like the gp moto hoses? I have the MAF and IC hoses and the fitment isn't too good, especially the IC y hose.

I'm not saying it looks bad, I just mentioned that it makes the scoop look extra BIG!

Seems to me that you have good ideas when it comes to customizing your car - I would like to have the same available time and money to put towards my car also
