Hey mate,
Looking superb, those WRX bumper and guards really set it off.
What exhaust are you running? Looks like fun;)

Thanks, the front bumper is actually off a 2020 levorg sti sport. I got a little hasty and got it all painted before I trial fitted so there is one body line that doesn't line up, I would've sanded it back if I paid attention ha.
I have an invida q300 cat back exhaust. It's not too loud, but gives it a decent note. Didn't want to piss of my neighbours, trying to be an adult when I can ha.

Also added a mishimoto cold air intake. No flash tune as of yet, and is running alright. But due for a service soon so will see if they can flash that

Nice moves, looks mint, way more aggressive up front and a few mm gap here and there is negligible... I hear only good things about the Q300 for quality and note. Shame we have to be adults sometimes haha.... When the kids come along we need to compromise some, but not alot ;) Definitely look into getting a flash with the intake and exhaust, 100% worth it and the subtle difference will make a better daily drive with some stick. Its a damn shame they didnt throw a 5/6 speed option into production otherwise to the moon. The dang CVT is a wet blanket.

Yea, have a tune in the exhaust. But will definitely get one soon for the intake. I lowkey have it in my head that if my cvt fucks out, I'll go all out and swap for a manual transmission. But obviously dreaming ha

Still haven't ordered those wheels, starting to toss up between 45 and 38mm offset

Yes indeed. The guys from Mighty Mods tripped out Martys Levorg to another damn level.... Amazing build. This is how they should have come from the factory being an STI and all.

Flashed tuned after intake install. At first It seemed to do a few funny things, thought it felt worse than without the tune. But now loving it. But more of a punch to it
I've gone ahead and ordered some silvers neomax black edition coilovers for when the wheels arrive. Not sure if I'll do a few other suspension parts too.
And also been heavily thinking about getting air cups so I can lower it a little bit without scraping and bottoming out getting in and out of my underground carpark
