Ok, let us see if I can answer the barrage of questions
16vmarc, The wheels are 18" Volk Racing LE-37Ts, to my knowledge no longer made in a Scooby friendly offset (well +48mm isn't the friendliest offset for a Subaru)
Krade, the wax is Meguiar's #26 Hi-Tech Yellow, but underneath is a coat of their #7 Show Car Glaze. Also she constantly sees a coat of #34 Final Inspection after 2-3 days of driving her. You can find all those products here, http://www.meguiars.com/store_meguiars/index_pro.cfm .
CustomScoobyIOM, I'd love to speak to Chris at I-Speed, however both he and I-Speed are in California and I am in New York. I do have Rallispec in New Jersey I can go to if need be
If people are seriously interested in those carbon fiber P1 lips from Seibon, speak to me and I shall see what I can do to help
Everyone else, thanks for the compliments once again !
Also, I think you should check out this GC, http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...hreadid=542501 It's my good friend's GC... I know I enjoy looking at it.

I wouldn't worry about the engine, everyone knows red ones go faster!
Bonkers.

That is the most beautiful Scoob i have ever seen!
i checked out your website on the shot of your pride and joy - I'm stumped for words to say about your amaxing Impreza! its a shame that Subaru UK don't import the car as it would be a model in between our 2.0 sport and the WRX and STi. A car that all young drivers would be able to get insured on as it would fit perfictually in place here.
Man i love your car!

i think this car deserves to be an honourary member of the TYPE R Corner, although not strictly a type r it is a beautiful example of the model!!
keep me posted if there is a group buy lines up on the spoiler, i love it!!
might have to buy some wax also!

Yes, its a carbon fiber P1 replica. there's a company here in the US, Seibon that makes them... i think the website is http://www.seibon.com. It cost me $300 USD.
thanks for the compliments

And as I said, if anyone needs help getting ahold of those carbon products, let me know and I can see if I can help out in anyway.

You have taste young man!!!
Imagine how much better the P1 would have looked with wheels that like at std.
It would be hard to park that car anywhere in this sad Ned cultured country.
Superb Scooby, worthy of all the praise.

I've got to say it, i think that is one of my all time favourite Imprezas. Absolutely stunning and not likely to be replicated over here unless a Type R owner fancies a respray.
I'm interested in any potential carbon P1 splitter group buy by the way. More than a little disappointed with my current replica version.

Thanks all... as far as the suspension goes, you may call me crazy, but I have a full set of JIC FLT-A2 coilovers... definately not a "comfy" ride, but it isn't horrendous

very nice indeed
But you don't seem to have much wheel stud thread in them wheel nuts, wouldn't some longer studs be abit safer.
