The rest just look 'and to an extent, probably are', after market add-ons painted and glued to the existing frame, and as can be seen with the silver pig, when the sun hits the side of the vehicle the colour match is...well...crap.

Couldn't agree with you more

Have you looked into the possibility of sourcing a fabricator and getting them to pump the existing guards and fenders out 'they would obviously have to make up some pieces, but would most definitely give a more moulded and blended in look.

Going to hunt around for some pics to see if I can show you what I'm talking about.

APR SS GT Subaru Impreza WRX STi

Can't seem to find a picture of it without stickers

Then part that's been removed is called a dog-leg and imo looks heaps better left in.
