Just wanted to say that I love your build so much!
I'm living more north than you up in northern Alberta, Canada. Your car inspires my young self to start modding but I've only got an 08 impreza 2.5i, and I'm quite new to the car world. I made an account just to say this! Will definitely be reading more updates that come! |

I keep seeing a lot of C Light headlight options for our cars. The first ones that came out looked terrible IMO, like they were neon tubes just stuck inside the OEM housings. But the new OEMassive are growing on me.
What do you guys think? I'm torn between giving the OEMassive C Light headlights a try or keeping my OEM Halo setup |

Looks like they've moved the C lights more towards the outside, which looks a lot better, but I think I still prefer the halos. The C lights look good on the 15+ because of its more angular profile, but they look a bit out of place on the more rounded profile of the 08-14s, IMO.
On the topic of lighting, what do you think about the sequential tail lights from CT Auto Parts? https://www.ctautoparts.com.au/produ...pre-order.html I'm still not sold... |

I was excited to hear about new taillights being offered for the GR, but they’re too busy for me. Don’t like the 3 dimensional aspect either. Still prefer the Valenti’s. Been happy with them for the last 4 years. Look brand new |

Contacted Circuit Demon. They said there's no way to retain the headlight leveling motors of the OEM STI HIDs when retrofitting the OEMassive C Lights headlights, so I would lose that functionality going to OEMassive. Gonna give it some thought.
Pulled the trigger on the Verus Engineering Rear Diffuser as pictured below: Should match up perfectly to my Blacktop Aero Rear Diffuser Still waiting on my BNM Performance Fab rotated kit. I reached out to Evan earlier this week and he said he'll be finishing it up this week. We'll see. |

I purchased some Cshape headlights on amazon from AKKON. 2 years later they look great.
Easy install and able to retain leveling motor. |

Personally, I like your halos more on our body style than the c lights. If you decide to go c lights though I wouldn't mind knowing how much you'd let your lights go for

I go back and fourth. I almost feel like a prefer the c lights on dark colored WRX/STI. I’ll keep you posted with what I decide.

Thats why i'm really hesitant to place an order from the brand since its still only one man going through all of the orders and welding everything. His ewg kits are a thing of beauty though!

Followed this build when I picked up my 14 STI and it has been an inspiration for so many things I've done to mine. Love your car.
I actually have the circuit demon headlights, it is kinda annoying you lose the HIDs and being able to raise / lower them from in the car. I ended up throwing some LED bulbs in them and I'm much happier now. I'm still debating about going with those CT auto tails or the smoke Valeniti's.... I don't want to fork over a bunch of money and then end up hating how dark they are. Edit : doing this from my phone so not sure why pictures aren't working, will fix it later once I get home to my computer. Last edited by ludi-kriss; 02-12-2020 at 11:46 PM. |

Also on a side note I hate how flimsy our front bumpers are especially with driving it in the snow, I bought a TBW under pan and it’s crazy what a huge difference it makes. I was popping tabs in my bumper every time it barely rubbed before I got it.
