Default Would you like this STi better?



When i get mine this is what I plan on doing to it, 2.5RS hood, no wing, powdercoated black wheels. Just in the sake of making it look less "gastly".

What do you think? FMIC and getting rid of hoodscoop were hard, but this was only my second photochop ever so this is what you're getting.

I think it would look good, but I don't think you should powdercoat those stock wheels. just get new ones...

i would deff get black wheels over powdercoating stock ones black. You wont need the stock hood scoop will you? because the IC is being relocated to the front right?
