They don't look the sharpest, but with some nice wheels, a bit of low, the STI rear wing, colour matching of chrome, and fixing of the tail lights it doesn't look too bad. That's actually a terrifically long list to make a car look acceptably nice. The usual suspension mods will take care of this.
If it is what you want, go for it.
I like the look of it and I enjoy modding the exterior looks of a car to look how I want it, which I've already considered and pretty much involves all the stuff you've mentioned for the 08, As soon as you chuck some Vinyl overlays on the tail lights it already looks 10x better and then there's obviously the performance mods that will come later.

But I really like the 08 as a kind of blank canvas, I think it has a lot of potential. Sadly, it's not a my11 widebody

Is this an argument between ej25 and ej20?

I would recommend a My10 with vf52. Save u a bit money to change ur turbo later, it is most balanced turbo for response and gearbox reliability.

TBH, that one on the 1st post looks good. Just post up the mods list after test drive. Pay attention to clutch and shift smoothness. Ask for oil change interval and what oil was used if possible. Leak down test will be the best pre purchase inspection.

That is eaxctly what i did It probably too much now, but I like it. Plus I had a My10 WRX sedan before STI, hatch is so much more practical.

I would use VHT nite shade on the tail light, overlay is too much trouble, unless u pay someone to do it.

2008 Subaru Impreza WRX MY08 All Wheel Drive

This is the one u r looking at, right?

Here is the complte mods list

But boost gauge is removed for some reason?

Smart mods list in total with a safe tune.

Oh jesus, look at that interior. Bright blue trim and raped door trims for 6x9 speakers? No thanks. They want $20k too. I didn't even pay that for my Betty over a year ago.

To be clear... I hadnt noticed the 6x9's, I HAD noticed the blue trim and was already planing well in advance for that be sprayed back to stock colour or there abouts.

So what do you suggest price to KM's ratio?
i thought $20,000 for 85000k's want to , I was gonna offer max of $17

aaaaaand the gumtree link is saying it's sold.
