Hilarious, and totally something I'd do too. Nice part, particularly for the price! I didn't know about this one.

I may get one of these ips since it one requires 2 holes to be drilled and uses 3m tape to hold it tightly in place.

There's around a dozen holes that get drilled across the lip

How did you guys manage to avoid drilling into the headlight washer hoses when installing the front lip? i was trying to install the lip last night and I put my hand on the inside of the bumper and I can feel the hose. I tried to move the hose out of the way but it doesnt budge. If it wasn't for this forum I would of drilled that hose in 3-4 locations.

Thats a nice little touch with the F badge on the lip. Attention to detail :-) until some kid tries to peel it off but still looks good :-)

I wasn't completely happy with the fitment of the badge on front lip so it got moved to the upper grill

^^^Not a fan of the badge in either spot, but especially not on the grill.

Good thing I wasn't looking for your approval or I would be very disappointed. It's kinda like saying saying I don't like the color black or blue. This kind of mod is subjective, just like picking a paint color. This isn't my first rodeo with modding cars and you're always going to find those that love or hate certain mods, so to each their own
These mods are for my own pleasure and no one else

Looks good. How did you attach the F? Also, what is that red "tape" around your center lower grill? Hope it's not lipstick

I attached the badge using 3M. The grill was cleaned with alcohol and the badge carefully placed for best contact location. Its very secure!
The red trim is just aftermarket body molding trim with 3M already intact. It actually looks very good in person and from the front end it reduces the sleeper look in combination with the grill badge

Another shot from the front

Red tape looks good for a wrx. But if you like it then thats what should matter to you.
