Pains me to disagree with Mark, but the bugeye STi is the best looking Subaru around - the blobeye is certainly better looking than the standard bugeye variant, but NOT the STi. Buy it!!!!!!

A set of Morettes is all you need to make a bug eye look 1000 times better.

Bugeye STi is *the* best looking new age model, it's how the car is supposed to look. It's just a shame Subaru were cheap and didn't fit the STi lights to the whole range.

Think of Morretes as cheap make up and the blob eye as plastic surgery that went a bit wrong - they were supposed to correct the eyes but made the nose too big whilst doing so.

Great piece of kit. I have a v7 sti wagon (JDM), which has been treated to a TSL 333 conversion, and full geometry set up.The power and handling are awsome,plus the STI is a great looking car, and nowhere near as abundent as the blobeye; Which makes the bugeye a bit special and remember the v8 blobeye is a made over, v7 bugeye.

I quite like the STi Bugeye, the STi lights make a big differance.

IMHO I prefer the blobeye/ The bug eye looks too soft.

The Bugeye / Blobeye style is a matter of taste as is any other car looks - the main thing is what's underneath the skin and my cousins bugeye STI PPP was fantastic, so much so that when i changed my car I bought the "best" rally wining car the Scooby STI - just happened that the model style was Blob eye by then.
