Clean GC8. I had two and i miss them both. Great car

FS FTW

I mean..it's clean. But I don't see the point in making a photo thread of your car if it has pretty much physically stayed the same for the last two years? I mean, yes you added a spoiler and what looks like a new front bumper..but still..

Si Steezo

You added mudflaps then you took them off? That's the only significant change I see...

Fabrik8

So did you do an engine and drivetrain swap or just do exterior mods...?

Hey! he noticed the mudflaps were gone!

Suspension over power was my first choice for autox. The interior and exterior are just now almost finished. Don't think a college student has $5k to through into an STi swap just like that all at once. That's why I said it still has a long way to go.

These cars look awesome stock. All done up with the spatts, side skirts and front end looks awesome too. but I dont think I like the new replica front bumper you are running. It is drifferent and something I havent ever seen before.The second set up with black chin lip looked great. IMO.

The front seats, altho apparently a factory seat look really tacky.

I can see your view point. I like both bumpers, and still have the other as a spare. I like the sports bumper because it separates it from the others in this area. If you've never seen that bumper before, check out the 22B. It's the same bumper, just for non-widebody.

I was hoping this was going to be something thread worthy...like an sti swapped rs making 350+awhp

Fabrik8

There's a lot of those running around which is why I asked. I helped out with a few of them when I lived in Colorado, there were lots of them there with STi or WRX swaps.
