Eh...its alright, needs a nicer paint job, get rid of the Rear Lights and go for an OEM style or somethin...those rear headlights just dont look well with the subie, too phat and ugly. also lower the ride height and get some new feet son, that will put some personality on your car. ROTAS !!!

Did you buy the car brand new? I'm sorry that’s way too much if you bought it used recently... The motor swap will run a good $10K, unless you want to do the 80 hours of wiring yourself… paint for a good paint job will run $6K, also you'll want to upgrade your suspension and brakes before you ever think about a swap which if you want to accommodate the STI motor will be about $3K.

Now, about the current state… not a fan of the rear tails, the tarmacs will be a nice addition… never been a fan of projectors, but if you like them keep’em.


My car's about ready for brake upgrades then a swap... but that won't be for a long time...

Westin Imprezas is the BESTEST GC8 STYLE Impreza EVERS...Its my wallpaper hehe :banana: I just love the Dakar Yellow so much. Regarding Strykers Impreza I think you paid too much for that 95 with 40 K worth of miles on it. and is that GC8 in San Jose selling?

i think what he means is that he bought it new in 1995 w/ 40 miles on it for 14,000. At least I hope so... or else he paid way too much.
