Here are some better pics of the rear headlights. Really happy with them so far.




I bought some hella supertones, but do I "need" to get a bracket for them, or is there a way to mount them without a bracket?

Next on the do to list:

EZ hitch
Rally armor flaps
Window tint

Really loving my Impreza so far! Almost at 1k miles, really noticing the mpg go up now!

I agree. Those tails are drool worthy! How is the quality though? From the pics it looks great, but I know first hand that there is a lot of aftermarket junk out there.

They are built alright, not as solid as the stock tails. Just like lots of aftermarket stuff, yes they are cheap, but once installed they are solid and fit well, and they definitely dont "look" cheap. Would definitely purchase again if given the choice.

That's good to hear cause they look gorgeous from the pics. Hopefully they'll stand up to the test of time.

Were they outrageously expensive like some of the aftermarket headlamps I've seen online?

$320 for both, got them from ebay here : http://goo.gl/deJ8G7

There are other styles, like full clear housings and standard red housings too.

Here's my car with my winter tires on. Had leftover gold plasti-dip so I decided to plasti-dip the fog surrounds too:

It's it just the angle or did spraying gold over silver vs black make that big of a difference in the finished color?

No angle illusions here. Plasti dip likes to react differently on plastic vs metal/alloy.

But it looks like he doesn't have too many coats on that fog light bezel.

Probably my ****ty spraying - my fog light surrounds are all black - not silver and black.

I initially just plasti-dipped them black and then added blue metalizer to it - but it looked more purplish than anything so I just sprayed them gold to match the wheels

Gotcha. But yea, I meant spraying over the black plastic compared to over the silver wheels (if that's how they started). Were you trying to match the DGM with the blue over black?

Ah, yeah the wheels are actually black too - so I guess trying to match both.

I like those aftermarket tail lights and headlights, but I'm too hooked on mixing & matching factory parts.



XV Crosstrek Hybrid Tail lights, 2011 WRX Wheels, BRZ Exhaust w/quad tip splitters, all on a base model '12 Impreza that... doesn't look like a base model anymore.

Are those wheels a perfect fit on the impreza? I am wanting to buy some, the bolt pattern is the same but the offset is different so I dont know whether that would affect anything too much

No issues, they're the stock rims from the 2004-2005 wrx I believe. Bought them 4 years ago from a member on here

The mounting harness is sold separately or you have to make your own.

Yes please, could anyone give some insight on mounting hellas on the Impreza sport. I am planning on doing mine this weekend, but any pointers would be appreciated.

Spend the money on a Subimods bracket kit. It'll make your life a whole lot easier.
