You said you had to do some trimming, did you get any pics of the bits you trimmed, would have been useful reference for others, such as myself, looking at doing the Bug>hawk, got the Headlights and 1 wing so far!
Would the airbags not have gone off as well in a heavy rear ender?
why do people keep asking if it was rear ended or how come rear bumper aint damaged ???? if you look further up thread i managed to buy a rear bumper and lights off a hawkeye sport (cheap cheap) and used the boot lid off the bugeye also the airbags dont go off in a rear shunt often due to crash sensors mounted at front and side !!! also im a scooby breaker so have 100's of parts on the shelf including classic ,bugeye ,dropeye , and hawkeye .. so stop picking at things E-M-B as ive done it and you aint like it or lump it.... .

absolutely brilliant, this thread cant possibly show how much work this must have taken so fair play to you. agree with daz though if its a wrx dont badge it as an sti, as soon as you lift the bonnet or take somone for a ride they will know its not a real sti. great transformation project
anybody got any ideas on wheels as its got 17s on at minute and they look tiny and are hidden under arches. was thinking gold or white but do i put 18s/19s on and what size offset to bring them level with arches
I hate to say this but it looks like a half arsed paint job. Not stripped the trims off or even bothered to take the headlights out. Will look great when its done but will probably deteriorate quite quickly and the lacquer will no doubt start to peal away at the edges of the trims.
Shame that so much work has gone into it to only cut corners on the most important part of the job.
Are we going different to blue/grey, ST orange perhaps
