Note the completely non-stock front mount intercooler, which probably suggests a larger turbo...

Subaru Blue? I disagree. The black STi looks badass, primarily because of the black-tinted projector headlights. They match the body color, and it tends to reduce the "bug-eyed" look of the regular WRX. Very cool.

btw, xfactor -- the reason why it has a FMIC is because it is a more powerful engine. That car is a WRX STi, which is the premium performance model of the Impreza WRX, currently available in Japan and coming to the North American market in 2003, I believe.

Is the word "subtle" completely irrelevant in today's world?

looks good, except for the shovel front airdam and the "hella-tight" 747 wing.

That is so not an STi...it doesn't even have the STi hood scoop. Besides, just like others said...an STi does not have a FMIC.

This car is much much much more potent than an STi from the looks of it...look at all the mods on the door panel.

They look like stickers to me. Of course it's a known fact that stickers add 5-15 hp apiece, so maybe you're right.
