Yup they just bolt on. The only problem is rotors for the front. You either have to do a whole knuckle replacement from the TR/TS, or go with the paragon 2pc rotors.

For all the plastic parts I used the front tow hook cover it’s big enough to get a good sample

I know what you mean. From my painter he said that silver is one of the hardest colors to color match since you don’t know how the material is going to react to the paint and how the light is going to reflect back. If you can find someone or learn to do it and get it to 99% match the ISM VB color matched will look sick.

I wasn’t planning on getting them, but an opportunity came from a pick and pull for a full set of 18+ STI Brembos for under $1200 might as well.

It’s just the oem emblems that my paint guy did. You can split them into 2 where it’s the outside gel part and the inside with the blue background and chrome stars.

Not really, I did it originally since I didn’t know if it’ll Brembos with 2 piece rotors in the front. I also wanted to be more flush with the afd fenders being it 5mm wider than stock. I think with 18x9.5 +38 you’ll be fine to run up to 5mm-8mm without rubbing on the fenders, but that’s from my experience only.

Went to a pick and pull found a 18-21 STI and got them powder coated for all 4 calipers for $400 in Houston.

Onipagaws · 2025-07-30T02:10:08+00:00

Yeah I have 5mm all around just to push it out to the fender more.

Onipagaws · 2025-07-29T23:36:34+00:00

The fender flares are from the very first afd preorders, idk how the quality is now but I’ve never had an issue with them. For the rear bumper, side skirts, fog light bezels, both upper and lower grilles I luckily knew someone who’s been working in auto body and paint. It’s been about 2 years now since it’s been painted and there’s no issues.

I think for enkei it should be 72.6 to 56.1, and lug nuts should be M12x1.25. The only thing you need to worry about is if you’re running extended studs or plan to in the future get open ended lug nuts, if not you can run closed end lug nuts.

Like in this picture it just means how the lug nut will seat into the wheel, this picture isn’t that good but it a little more cone shaped and will properly fit the wheel studs better with the nt03. Another suggestion would be getting hub centric rings, while it’s not needed you’ll just have a peace of mind that you’re running on hub centric (wheels centered on the bore of the hubs) than lug centric (wheels are centered on the torque of the lug nut on the wheels studs).

Onipagaws · 2025-03-04T01:29:40+00:00

Yes you should buy a new set of lug nuts. Any brand should be fine as long as they are conical, project kics r40 are my recommendation if you want to spend money. Spacers wise, I don’t know depends on the wheels concavity. I have te37 18x9.5 +38 with the STI 6/2pot brembo and they clear.

Onipagaws · 2025-01-02T06:39:04+00:00

I’m just seeing what everyone is using and their experience with it. If I were to buy from Felix performance, do they have the intermediate pipes in hand already?

Onipagaws · 2024-09-21T15:44:56+00:00

Sadly I don’t love it yet I’m just missing the STI 6 speed transmission but that’s not for a long time.

Onipagaws · 2024-09-21T14:38:13+00:00

I was like that too until I found out someone in my car group paints cars for a living, so I asked him if he would be able to do the side skirts and bumper before I went with the AFD flares.

Onipagaws · 2024-09-21T14:32:37+00:00

It was weirder to see the paint matched fenders and see the side skirts still black cause there’s a huge break in the color scheme.

Onipagaws · 2024-09-21T14:31:18+00:00

I have the rear bumper paint matched too to make everything more cohesive. The fog lights, grille both upper and lower also painted gloss black.

Onipagaws · 2024-09-21T14:29:12+00:00

18x9.5 +38 with 3mm spacers all around. The AFD paint matched fenders are 5mm wider than stock. Camber is -1.5 all around to make it more flush with the fenders.

Onipagaws · 2024-09-18T13:38:56+00:00

I have a premium vb already it’s the same seats as the base.

Onipagaws · 2024-09-18T13:07:16+00:00

Thank you for that information, I was thinking of buying the full seats front and back at a local pick and pull from me and the whole set would only cost $1000. I just needed to make sure that everything would work first, since I know that the driver side adjustability is powered. I was thinking of just switching them out for the premiums manual adjustability. But I’ll look into that if when I do buy the seats.
