Nice, what sort of power and performance are we looking at? How does it compare to the older models?

Well, thats the US bling version, and shows what can be done, which is good for starters.
Need to know how much power it is producing to see if it is worth it for those who are not totally offended by its original looks.
STi version dose still look better.

ADDED, that being said, that is one hell of list of mods. And will probably smash the STi. (But at least it hasn't got ginger wheels).

Sheesh - its a good job its a business and not someones pride and joy huh?

The front bumper looks a bit out of place to my moderate english tastes - too square for my tastes as it doesn't seem to follow the shape of the rest of the car; and even though they're 18"s, the wheels look little, but I think thats due to the shape of the car.

For a show car I guess its got a wow factor which is the important thing.

The underside though looks fantastic. Shineeeey!

As i said in another recent thread, the new shape impreza will more than likely help put Subaru back on the no 1 spot in the WRC. Look how well Citron and Ford are doing with their smaller hatch looking cars!

Apart from the wheels I think it looks ok.

This project reminds me of one of the mingers down our local nightclub, they take a good bit of prepping to make them look half decent along with a good makeover but at the end of the day they are as ugly as sin underneath it all.

The front bumper, rear lights and the wheels suck.
