i bet it is more fun. i never really liked those clear tails either, there's some red clears i've seen on some sti's around here i think theyre oem, just gotta look around.

Those are NOT stock. They are painted or vinyl overlays. Many people have done it, but so far there are not any red/clear housed tail lights available.

looks great man. that most of been hella exciting and im sure it still is.

the tails are, meh... i like the ones meximan posted up or u could just black out the clear part....

I would consider some coils overs and drop that beast as well...

wrx's come turbo as well right?
I would want my tails to look just like the ones posted. I'm not a fan of the smoked portions.

Probably won't drop it, MN winter doesn't like that much.

WRX is a 2.5L with just over 14psi of boost. :)

New wrx and sti have same turbo now ;) its just untuned....get a tune and you'll be in the money
Not the same, but similar. A good tune has been known to add/smooth out power quiet effectively. Stage 2 tunes are generally close to 300WHP :)

I don't want them to be all red, I want to keep the turn signal and reverse lights clear. I have contacted bluebatmobile for info and pricing, but for the price of these pre-cut kits I think I might just buy a sheet and go at it myself. Cost is 5x less, so if it doesn't turn out I won't be too mad.

From what I've read online it is extremely frustrating to do the outer taillights on the WRX hatch due to the large amount of curvature (and a lot of people end up ruining their pre-cuts and have to buy more, or just give up).
