Now that the driveline is close to being buttoned up it is time to turn some attention to the looks of the car. Currently it is currently stock other than being de-badged. I am looking for some input on the following items and some links, pictures of members cars, where to buy, etc. I should preface this with saying I will not install anything that negatively affects the performance of the vehicle. 1. Front lip or splitter 2. Rear diffuser 3. Trunk deck, wingless and STI style pictures 4. Wheels, currently the only tires I have on the car are r-compounds on the stock BBS wheels, I plan on running snow tires on the stock wheels and need to pickup some wider 17's for a race wheel and potentially another set of 18's for that sexy look. 5. Other options and suggestions????? Thanks in advance everyone!
Front lip. Jna performance has the v limited replica for under 100 iirc. A true splitter that extends further back would probably be cheaper and easier to fab. Rear diffuser as in under car right? Not the window vane. Trunk sti style pictures? Hood scoop delete/rs hood looks nice and helps quite a bit with aero. You have a front mount? Wheels. What style do you like? Any preference when it comes to spoke pattern, concave? Finish? Also, do you have a budget in mind for wheels? There's a good amount of wheels available for your car from 500 a set sknock offs to 5000 a set hre's.
Is there a difference between manufactures when it comes to front lips? What is a GT wing, any pics or links? I am thinking about putting together a front splitter, would love to see a template of the APR performance splitter. I checked and the splitter from JNA was $119 but looks like a quality unit. Yes rear diffuser as in the rear of the car, I have seen a couple that look nice and a bunch that look crazy bad! For the trunk I am looking to go wingless or stock STI, I don't think I could go with a big adjustable wing unless I had multiple decks to switch up. Can I get a standard used trunk deck? If so what years can I use? Car still has a TMIC which I am getting sick of trying to fit onto the turbo compressor outlet. Next time it comes apart it will get a FMIC. That being said the scoop is staying for now. I am completely uncertain about wheel selection, there are a ton of options and I thrifty and have a tough time dropping big money on wheels. I love the new Sparco Assetta Gara but they are not quite as aggressive as I would like (prefer a 18x9). I will keep shopping used and hope I can jump on a smoking deal.
That. Trunk you can use anything 02 through 07 from any impreza. Only main difference is in the 06 07 that have 2 tiny holes for the posts in the subaru oval badge. Its cheaper to buy cf than new from subaru, but used options are about a third the price of cf (cheaper if you can find a parts yard 02 impreza). Check jnas ebay listings. They're usually cheaper than the website. For the rear under diffuser, grab an oem one off an 06 07 sti.
