Sorry Daniel, your wrong mate.

The WRC has an air intake on the right side of the Front Mounted Intercooler, a carbon duct system that sits behind the right headlamp assembly. The bonnet scoop is blanked off.

The Taillights...
 
With all due respect and sorry to say, the rear taillights look like it grew boils or a fatty pimply gits from the original bug eyed version. Also, they do look altezza-ish. :(

Subaru, there's no shame in changing back to the bug eyes! :p

I personally wouldn't change it for 2nd or 3rd generation.

The WRC car that was on "tour" over here featured the intake/filter fed through the scoop. I suppose it could be a different version of the car that you saw or perhaps the intake location is configured depending on what surface the car is competing on.

Autoweek has some pics up from the Paris auto show of the production STi on their website.

I wonder if that will be how the STi comes over here in June (supposedly)?

The front and rear lights look like an RSX. Really too bad. I'm not so sure it looks any better. Have to wait and see one in person.

WRC hood has the opening just in front of the scoop, which i believe is for extracting heat from the radiator. In that case it doesnt make sense to use the scoop for intake since all that heat from the radiator will be suck in. As someone mentioned above i guess the scoop on the WRC is purely cosmetic. It just looks really big on WRC for a non-functional piece.

gee, i wonder what that big air filter was doing there under the scoop where the top mount would normally go:rolleyes:
Oh, and it is not even an STI scoop.
