The photos Jimmy just posted are hot! Is this rex in perth? I would love my car to look like that.
The car I posted is some sort of hybrid... It's an 05 STi resprayed in red... with the rear boot spoiler removed and window vane added..

But essentially, if you were to take your own car and:

Cook and paint the headlights
Fit Splitters and Spotlight covers
Fit front lip
Fit Rota DPT 18 x 9.5

Then you would have largely the exact same look...

Pop off your rear spoiler and add a rear window vane(I happen to have one in my shed which would certainly be for sale), plus an STi scoop and you would have the exact same car cosmetically(until people start looking for Brembos)

I reckon the above mods are a good place to start cosmetically, and are all readily available reasonably cheaply!




P.S - 19" > 18" > 17" > Liberty RS <3

Then go to work on handling/power!

I'd suggest Varrstoen's, but they are only available in 19" in the CE28 style, and nothing in 5x100. The only Varrstoen option in 5x100 is the 2.2.1 TE37 style in 18".






This is #winning Steph.

*STI Rear Wing Vane Diffuser

They look hot but fitting it requires drilling into the body of the car.

Yes it is. End of the day they are a mass produced Japanese end-margain driven shitbox.

We just happen to like the nicer ones with bigger brakes, turbo engines and better seats.

They are imprezas lol... Shouldn't offend you like lancer, sorry, Evo drivers get offended. I never see imprezas around giving us a bad name by ricing up. Only one I can think of is Rexychik which looks good.

The car jimmy posted is perfect, cept ditch the roof wing thing. If you want something there, I think the vortex generator would look better.

I have what I can afford. And having a wrx suits me fine.
Thanks for all the pointers guys, when I get home I'm going to start googling bits and pieces!
Will update this when I've purchased a few things
