Having the peanut eye for so long now makes me want the hawk eye a lot more. Props to you for doing the conversion. I'm in for the results

^^ That happens to everyone. I had a GM6(GC8 body style but coupe) and wanted a peanut eye but didn't want the EJ20 so instead found a steal on my 06 wrx w/ mods for cheap so hopped on that and won't ever go back. I love the look of the peanut eyes because they're so subtle but the Hawkeye's and on just seem so much more aggressive.

^^ Really? I think the opposite. Well actually to me the hawkeyes look like they're mugging u. The peanuts look like them big Tongan or Samoan brothas glaring u down.. Haha well either way, i havent found a progress thread with someone attempting this. Car's in the shop for a full body paintjob!! Requested to keep my OEM UGM color and told to add extra extra flake/pearl and a couple more layers of clearcoat. Cant wait for the results!! I'll keep yall updated
