I love RB5's, but they are a rare car, i would personally leave it standard, as they are worth more that way and you cant do much to improve the looks.

I would agree totally with what Paul said.

The only thing I would even remotely consider changing (and I doubt I actually would) would be the back box, making sure you kept the original box to put back on if selling. And nothing else at all.

As Paul said, you can't do much to improve the looks of them.

A friend of mine (wallybazoom)had one of these and they are lovely things.

Like the RB5 as a special edition

as has been mentioned, its a car that needs to be kept visually standard though

needs the WRsport spoiler
