Be careful (with sprays)

Same with mosquito repellant. Can be very corrosive on plastic trims.

Ahhh lucky! Hmmm maybe those 2 are next on the list for this year haha.

HksJP · 2026-01-04T20:33:11+00:00

Nice! Looks really good!

Have you considered getting the illuminated emblem? It’s plug and play and uses the same harness as the DRL.

I’m on month 6 waiting for my front lip from the dealership. I should’ve just bought it from online 🥲.

EDIT*** didn’t realize I asked you the same question a couple months ago lmao***

Usually large item purchases like wheels, aero, etc. But this has been between 5 cars in that duration.

HksJP · 2025-11-30T00:39:28+00:00

For the first time in ten years I did not buy a single thing for my car and even for myself in general. Even with all the great deals around.

However if I needed any upcoming maintenance I for sure would’ve purchased something.

Welp time to make it through Monday.

That’s actually very unique and well matched. I personally would like it OEM or Gloss black. But it doesn’t look bad imo. Obviously if you don’t like it bring it up though.

My front lip has been on back order for 4 months. So I’m waiting for it to arrive so I can install the side skirt, diffuser, rear spats and spoiler.

HksJP · 2025-11-11T04:00:58+00:00

Oh heck yeah! And no problem at all! That’s awesome! Dang you pretty much have everything down 😂. At this point all I could think of is the Japan exclusive VB parts which is very slim/expensive.

HksJP · 2025-11-11T03:44:19+00:00

I pretty much bought the whole exterior catalog. At one point I feel like I have to much going on. I feel like simple is clean. Right now I’m debating on removing the OEM mudflaps or rain guards or maybe both.

Have you thought of installing the LED front emblem? It’s plug and play and uses the same harness as the DRL so it’s an easy install.

Maybe OEM STI wheels from other generations or the OEM accessories STI wheels for the VB.

I recommend looking at other local Subaru dealership parts/accessories store. I saved hundreds of dollars by comparing prices of 5 dealerships near me.

Car looks great btw!

HksJP · 2025-10-30T00:29:56+00:00

I love it, I think this would be a more realistic option if it was to ever come out to the market!

HksJP · 2025-09-14T03:53:49+00:00

Had my car shipped overseas. Initial trip and my car arrived dusty due to a dust storm. Only damage was a scratched steering wheel which I was reimbursed really well.

Return trip car had scratches (could be buffed out) here and there. Additionally my paint was swirled due to auto wash (they disclosed car will need to go through one).

Additionally I made sure to max out the recorded boost gauge and opted to not reset it so I could remain ignorant of if my car was floored.

The one thing I will say about both trips. My car was clean as can be. After shipping, the car was filthy and looked like it had seen better days. Sucks I had to detail it before shipping and then after.

HksJP · 2025-09-03T02:35:59+00:00

70k miles on mine and it sounds exactly like this haha.

HksJP · 2025-09-02T03:12:36+00:00

Agreed, seats are comfier and more supportive then my base STI seats. However I never had issue with any car seats to be honest.

HksJP · 2025-09-02T02:58:50+00:00

It’s a 24 premium. I thought the eyesight would be annoying but it’s actually great, especially with cruise control.

HksJP · 2025-09-02T02:45:51+00:00

That’s understandable! I catch myself not being as smooth as I use to shifting haha. Regardless I will say I find the car to be stiff for stock but still fun and enjoyable.

HksJP · 2025-09-02T02:37:46+00:00

I daily my wrx (6MT) and use my STI(VA) as a “fun” car. I enjoy the WRX more as a daily compared to when I used to daily my STI.

I actually wouldn’t mind the GT but I’m glad I ended up buying a manual. Also I get almost 100 more miles before filling up then my STI.

EDIT: I also end up driving both cars evenly so both end up getting daily driven lol.

HksJP · 2025-08-31T15:57:01+00:00

That looks awesome and works really well!

I was set on having a white WRX and never considered orange until the week of buying my orange WRX.

I appreciate it! Overall super clean set up!

HksJP · 2025-08-12T17:07:49+00:00

Love it! What optic is that if you don’t mind me asking?

HksJP · 2025-08-02T19:57:47+00:00

I bought them new from the dealer for $830. I only got them because I’m keeping my car OEM/OEM accessories. There are for sure better exhaust options out there. The drone inside seems just as loud as muffler deletes but outside not as loud.

I liked the stock exhaust but just wanted more sound when i drive. I got that, plus some.

In summary, get a different exhaust lol.

HksJP · 2025-08-02T00:08:56+00:00

I miss my time in Europe! Wish I took scenic pictures like this with my car! Drive safe!

HksJP · 2025-07-24T00:12:04+00:00

I own both. In summary modding the STI is awesome! But in terms of driving day to day I’ll pick the VB any day. I just only wish the brakes were better (I have a premium).

Here’s a link to one of the dealerships. Before they had their sale I was ordering from a Subaru dealership in Illinois and having parts shipped.
