I agree, I hate the Altezza's too. But I wanted something other than the stock lights and I haven't really found anything else. I don't get laughed at too much though once the FMIC is spotted.

I used to have a 1997 Eagle Talon TSI. I overboosted, bent the rods, ruined the piston rings, and had oil spurting from every seal and gasket. Now I have the WRX & 4-Runner. I have the username because I posted on this site with some noob questions before getting the WRX

I actually, overall, liked my Talon better for numerous reasons: easier to tune, lower roof line, 2-door, wrap around cockpit, etc... I had it set-up more for racing though then I do with my WRX. I used to race down 880 @ 150mph+. Now that I'm older I try to stay away from racing, at least on public roads. I set the WRX up more for show, but it does have a ton of go.
The WRX community is totally different with all the meets and waving, etc,... Talons are fairly rare in SJ, so we'd wave to each other, but Eclipses gave you crazy looks if you waved.

Everything was done professionally by a local stereo shop. Basically he made a fiberglass box and topped it with vinyl. As far as all the materials used I'm not to sure of the specifics, I just told him what I wanted and that I would be back in 2 weeks to pick it up.
