EDIT: Its a burnout bumper, or the shine auto replica of it.

The shine bumper got a spot in it somehow, so the painter came by to fix it....

So long time with no update, and no I didnt abandon the car like so many builds..... I retired from the Navy, relocated back to Jacksonville FL, and started another career. When I started the car I had a knocking, so I ripped the motor back apart and couldn't find anything. So I threw in the towel and took it to a builder. Guy came from a recommendation of a friend who had his Terminator motor done there. I felt even better when i found out a fellow NoRotors member worked there. The knocking came from over honing of the cylinder walls. So it got bored .005 over and did JE forged pistons and a few other things... Dropped the motor back in yesterday and will get it put back together in the next few days. Here are some pics of the move, picking the car back up, dropping it back in, and one of Ryan23s STI while it was in my garage in VA..... Also while the motor was out I removed the F body clam shells off of my subframe and changed it to a Vette style mount.

Way to keep at it. Love the subaru! It's RHD too. I had a RHD sedan in that same color several years back. I parted it out and sold the shell/motor package to someone who later resold it. Doubt it's the same car being down in Virginia though.

 Just a cam, springs, pushrods and a trunion upgrade kit...

As far as Ryans STI... It was his in Japan and obviously he couldn't bring it back... So he cut it apart with a sawzall and shipped it back in his house hold goods. Found a shell over here and did a lot of welding to move it all over....
