Really easy 
Simply advertise your blobeye car for sale, and when someone comes along and gives you money to allow them to take it away, use that money to buy a bugeye STi 
You may find that they actually give you slightly more for the blobeye than you will need to pay for a similar bugeye, but this surplus cash can be used to buy a paper bag for your head and go towards taxi and bus fares for your family and friends whom will no longer accept lifts from you

I'd imagine you'd need to change the front wings, bonnet, lights and bumper mate. Plenty of people do it on pre-facelift classics (not my taste though, personally I much prefer the look of the earlier cars ) but I don't know how easy it is to do on a newage impreza.
Good look with that chap

I'm with wrx bill on this one.
The "MY02 Prodrive" front end was the "Real" subaru rally car look.
In ten years time, that is the one that everyone will remember.
You only need to look at the remote control toys thatkids are buying now, most of them are shaped like the MY02 model....

The blobeye with it's bulbus nose was a knee jerk reaction, and completely spoils the intended lines of the original design. The latest revision is back on track with the bonnet lower than the wings.
