I think it would look a lot better/factory if it had the door shut
incorporated back on some how, just doesn't look right without
it T!

I think that it definately needs a filler piece between the wheel arch and the door,

it just looks wrong without it.

the side bits in the front bar that you don't like (Tino) actually serve a very useful purpose, they help/promote airflow through your oil coolers.

Just make them go into those CF brake cooling ducts I told you
to do.

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.

White one looks the most integrated. I still think stretched guards with rims tucked underneath and drop it another inch. That will look Phat!

Yeh I agree although the rally car dosent have it there I think that it looks unfinished.

There will be plenty of airflow through the by
Per with those side parts filled. Aka my stock bumper.

I think it takes away from the smooth lines of the rest of the car.

It's all about prep. Done properly like the white one should look incorporated. There also shouldn't be a difference in collie of plastic bs metal in blue collie although I do k ow that this can happen in reds, yellows etc

Yeh can be done in metal for around 10k plus painting. Can't justify the expense considering if done right the fiberglass pieces would work just as well.

Yup I'm aiming for it to look like the white car. Front bar is interchangeable with my stock front bar, so can swap it out if it dosent flow well enough for me. The widebody parts have been on the boat from jap land last week so it's happening. Haha

the grey one definitely looks awfull where they have blended the rear arch into the door

what are you going to do with the fuel cap door? please say relocate

the white bug kit does look like it has the best fit/lines for sure

just got to look past the fact its a bugeye.... and then block out the tragic front bumper & skirt kit from your field of view
