Looks good. I have always liked that old muscle car look.
Now you need some rims & a ride height adjustment.

Show them subaru's who's boss! Looks good, but I think you need some more carbon fiber stuff to match it.

I removed them because that bumper is going.... I'm goin C-West any day now as the stock one is torn up and just hanging in there. I'm sure the IC ducts are designed and placed there for a reason so it's up to you.... Looks good but might just slightly hurt cooling properties....

As for if this is dry carbon...no this version is not. It's just a matte clear.

Okay guys have a question then does Seibon have 2 types of hoods out?
Meaning:
1) Dry carbon (Blacktrack)
2) Matte finish (Xbox)

Or are both of them just matte finish or both of them dry carbon?

The have at least 3 hood outs. The have the wet carbon in gloss and matte finish. I have the wet matte finish. And then they have dry carbon. Not sure of the dry is matte or gloss.
