if your going anti bling you'll still need some dope as rays rims murdered out in flat black or something because your stock rims is NEVER going to cut it
next you'll need some racing seats "recaros" in black with some 5 points.
then you'll need all the jdm suspension parts for added wow!
next id say the jdm roof scoop and jdm (amber) fender markers and a full din stereo
mold you apexi meter in get a racing steering wheel with quick disconnect
upgrade your rotors front and back to two piece ones get a mines wing and
and with all that its still going to be hard to stand out enough for a photo shoot without getting a body kit
then you'll have to do shows shows shows and do alot in so-cal not here
on rims... get other opinions dont listen to yourself on this because this is were alot of people F.. UP
get advise from people that have dope cars and are in the show sene because they can tell you what rim setup is going to
get you lots of YES VOTES
i say this because rims are expensive and you want to make sure your getting the best setup style wise
oh and most important of all... figure out what mag you want to be featured in
you cannt do them all... so once on mag features your car your done so shoot for
your fav. mag bring your car up to their level

Haven't sourced them yet, just like the seats. That's another $2500 I have to save in the next two months while I put my car back together.
www.japanparts.com has them, but don't get any funny ideas
Here's the sexy seats

here are two examples of cars that were awesome but not mag status
this TURBO 500+ nsx not wanted because it was BLACK haha
he later got cover of turbo but was repainted topsecret gold an black
this white si brand new then just didnt have a endless brake setup and a mugen cluster
he parted it out to buy a house so it never got cover... he had a test shoot and they loved it but they asked him to get brakes and they would reshoot for cover

You car is awesome in everyway. I think subysport will consider it, but if you are looking to be on the center fold or big pages on Turbo or Import Tuners you will need some crazy *** body kit and hella stickers.
I think if you get some baller wheels that will do it. I LOOKS too stock right now to be on the cover of a magazine. It just has to be catchy.

STi body kits are so ugly 
Yeah, wheels are in my future.

So what dude is saying above, is ***** out your car!! Do what everyone else thinks is cool, and end up with an ugly *** ricer. WHO CARES if you don't actually like the way it looks...
I guess he doesn't understand the premise behind your car.
There is more than 1 mag tho, and some of them do appreciate sleeper style cars. But ya, if you want a spread in a big import mag, you will probably have to add some carbon fiber and hella JDM parts....rice baby!!

I'd say go for it and give it a try. Probably not cover material or anything, but might make it somewhere in the magazine. If you are planning to submit it to S Mod magazine, might as well submit to SubieSport. I think that the people who read SubieSport will appreciate it more.
