The ONLY thing to do IMO is remove the added badges and number plate bar :) then it'd b perfect.

Other then that I'd love it.

I'd feel like batman in his batmobile... if only it were black.

Those badges, that crooked bar above the number plate and it would be quite a tidy rig.

My sister loves dash matts too... I keep telling her its unnecessary but I think she likes the way it softens the interior a bit.

I think that these days the carpets are overkill, yeah fair enough for cars built early 90s and before, with crappier plastics, but now i'd be willing to believe it's unnecessary; plus it builds up the dust in the carpet, it only conceals it lol. :) My 12 year old liberty doesn't have a crack! :)
But if you like the look! :)

PS, your XV is def's my favourite. Actually like it. Wing looks mad.

Thanks you mate
I just bought the dash mat Because summers coming and summers are getting hotter and hotter and wanna keep my xv looking new

A heads up...

Not only are those LED lights ugly, cheap looking and bloody annoying to other drivers, they are also 100% illegal unless they are ADR complient. (read, OEM fitment, function only when main beam is off, dim with indicator activation e.t.c.).

Subaru have had a daytime running light feature forever, in that you can leave the lights turned on all the time and they switch on and off with the ignition. Use that OEM feauture if being visible is important.

Yesterday on my way to tafe I saw some very similar to these, on a corolla or something like that. He was turning into a driveway; the LED strip functioned as a blinker, blinking from white to amber then returning to static white....

Are you serious? That doesn't make it legal, nor does it make it ADR compliant.

They are not OEM, meaning they were not designed for your car, meaning they breach design/safety/road rules/laws. Same goes for the Impreza.
Chances are that you won't get stung by the police, but it only takes one copper who's a stickler for the rules to ruin your day.

Whatever, can't say you haven't been warned.

They are on during the day ( and are not bright ) and off at night so how will I get burned I asked a police officer and he said if wired into Parker's they are illegal if they are DRL running lights that turn off when lights Are turned in they are legal
These are what they look like on during the day

I bought a dash mat for my prezza as soon as i got it. But we all know that imprezas have no where near the build quality of a gen3. Which sucks cause i couldnt invest that money into a front lip :(


Not a fan of the steering wheel cover, or LED lights, but i like the rest of the car, would so buy one of these if i had a kid or two.
