New 2002 wrx build

Hey guys, im getting my maroon red 2002 wrx on saturday. It has a 2005 wrx engine in it though. Im really excited because i just got rid of my integra so it feels good to actually have a car that is reputable on the street instead of being referred to as a ricer! ahah but first on my list is to install my sub and a new headunit. But after that, i really want to work on my front end. The car has no fog lights, no grill, and is completely stock. I want to add the JDM bugeye headlights but they are very pricey! haha around 600!

but yeah. Do you guys have any recommendations on a grill and fog lights? i also want a nice lip. Suggestions would be nice! thanks!

The JDM lights are made for right hand drive cars, and therefore are aimed the wrong direction. What you want are EDM headlights.

I have Hella fog lights and they work well.

Ohhh ic. hmm do you have pictures?

I think that's Sedona Red.

JDM lights (I detest that acronym and if possible I'd spit on the ground after uttering it...) are more like $1.000 USD and have the wrong light pattern. EDM lights have the correct pattern, and the acronym isn't nearly as tasteless, but are no cheaper. I'd forget the lights personally.

For fogs contact rallylights.com and buy their brackets plus a Hella light of your choice, something like 500FF will work and I believe even the 4000C will fit. Ask before buying.

For lips pursue DIY (insulation material for garage doors plus elbow grease) or from what I hear, CN sourced replicas from eBay because the JP stuff is costly and the car is a decade old.

do you guys have any good suggestions for headlights that arent so pricy and look clean?

No. The car is too old at this point. There were firms in FR, IT, and UK making headlights but they all stopped years ago. Plus none were inexpensive even then. You can look at modifying the stocks lights I suppose.
