I dig the Gram Lights. I also like the lack of flares. RPF1's and flares are great if your goal is lap times at the track... but for a nice looking street car, I think flares are just too much... unless you're extending the factory flares. Round flares tacked on top of the square factory blisters are just overkill IMO.

Plus, the color of those Gram Lights is just right on a WRB WRX. Blue > Red!

On a side note, what's up with the switch to the pusher fans on the radiator? Was that for any particular reason? How are you routing airflow through your FMIC/radiator stack?
