What's your STi?

Until the true STI comes out, what components would you use to build your own "STi"? This means better handling, better performance, better looks, but not sacrificing the former. Also, should look stock - no unmatched parts, wires and cables running around the engine compartment, etc. Last, cost is a constraint - something someone would pay for an "STi".

This is a thought experiment. There's no reason to wait for the STi if you can build it, right?

1 1/2 in lower?
17/18 8.5" front
17/18 9.5" rear - too wide? if so, how to get sortaflush?
Big brakes or just upgraded slotted/steel lines/better pads?
Innovate SC or other turbo?
KW Coilovers or less expensive fixed height coilovers ok?
Effective but not gaudy rear wing
Stylized tail lights
Front splitter, rear splats, side rockers
Side mirrors?
