This is it when I got it back in June 2015

Sti hubcaps, tbSTI quad mufflers, resonator removed, headlights restored.

I know this is nothing compared to all the other Libertys here. Oh and I'm not a photographer.

"its crazy how wheels & front lip can change the look of a car"

I'm well overdue for an update... lurking for a long time and just not posting :?

I've resprayed the whole car in 32J obsidian black pearl using glasurit 923-255 HS clear. Then coated in 'Always Dry's 'Extreme' ceramic coating. So many scratches and dents were bothering me too much.
Ditched the Speedy Carbine rims for gun metal grey Koya SF05s in 18x8.
VF52 with new Melett CHRA installed, waiting for retune by Matt this weekend hopefully.
PSR silicone inlet, k2 gear lookalike eyelids, evo 8 side skirt extensions, and genuine STI rear spoiler added.

Updated the main post to reflect all added mods. Heres a picture of what it looks like now.
I know alot of people say this, but I don't want to spend much more money on it and just want to enjoy it for now :lol:

That looks seriously amazing! :good:
I'm guessing there's absolutely no orange peel on the car?
Is this a DIY job and are you in the trade?

I'm glad you think so! Thanks, yeah I'm an apprentice spray painter, in my second year.
As much as I hate buffing, I wet sanded and buffed the entire thing after painting it. Boss was nice enough to let me use the workshop :P
