Tinted lights work well with your color.
I too think grill should be darker. Outside color coded to car and mesh black.

Black would suit the grill nicely....
Taillights fit perfect!

Wow, the Valenti lights look much better than the hanabi's. Agree with everyone else regarding the grill

Yeah I think some black paint would go down well. I also like Mark's idea of colour coding the frame around it. That could look quite nice too
Inside the car, I replaced the standard silver trim pieces with "Titanium" coloured ones like what the Tuned by STi version got:
Nothing wrong with the silver pieces, but this one looks a little better (to my eye anyway!)
Got some pics of the tails with the lights on. The Valenti's are a full LED unit so it includes the indicators unlike some of the Hanabi's.

Trim looks very classy compared to the matte silver. I like.

Love the subtle touches.
Those original Tail-lights will get snapped up quickly if you decide to sell them too

Yes I agree with everyone above. The gloss trim now matches the gloss of the McIntosh.
Now just gotta colour match the chrome on the air vents and cubby lid to the Titanium!

I also got a set of Valenti style LED tail lights. I think they look fairly smart, they've got a dark tint to them and blend in nicely with the rest of the dark colour of the car.
How would you compare the Hanabi taillights with the Valenti's? Better quality? Better look?
The changes you have made are very nice man!
Wanting to buy/looking for: single genuine STi rim, genuine STi front lip, Corazon or Zero/Sports grille and another OEM grille

Thanks Gary, I reckon they're both really good but I opted for the Valenti style lights because I preferred the look and they are also a full LED unit unlike the equivalent Hanabi's which have halogen indicators.

I do like the look of the Valenti style as well. It seems to match the reverse lights and chrome strip on your model. Very good choice man. Mine came with chrome amber bulbs so it didn't bother me at all.

There are gaps under the headlights. There was a minor manufacturing defect with the alloy infill, and a replacement front bar is in the process of being manufactured
Next on the cards -- suspension lift! Just waiting on the kit to come in from the States...

That would bug me so much!
I like to think of it as borrowing someone's car and driving it better than them.
