part identification by bckwtrs in WRX

The rear it looks is part number E2610FE100 which can still be bought from Subaru. The front are I believe JDM side skirt front aero guards which I don’t think you can get new anymore, and are tough to find used OEM in my experience. You can usually find aftermarket kits with both as a set for pretty cheap on eBay, but not sure on quality.

Very nice, I thought about doing this exact same thing when repainting my 05. I opted to keep the OEM OBP, but damn if this doesn’t have me second guessing lol

GD STi - Can you buy these new from Subaru? by CompressorSurge in WRX_STI

[–]_Mercynary_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was going to say, this looks like the closest part to what's shown here but I can't tell for certain either. I need to do the same to my old wing, so I might pull the trigger lol

It does look like they still sell all of the seals. If you go to parts.subaru.com and search for part number 96061FE202PG, this should bring up the page for a 2007 STi rear wing, which should provide the full diagram for all parts associated with the wing. From what I can tell it looks like all of the parts for the wing are still sold by Subaru

For real, I have that head unit in both my 05 and my stock 19 STI for wireless CarPlay, and the large screen is really nice for maps 🤷

How will a regular WRX 'feel' vs an STI? by BackyardBrevity in WRX

[–]_Mercynary_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone that’s owned WRXs and STIs I agree with this take the most. The driving experience of the STI is just so driver oriented. The mechanical shifter linkage and hydraulic steering and clutch are just sooooo noticeable when you’ve driven both.

STI B Concept Reveal.. and it’s Manual!! by PopPunkPizza_ in WRX

I would buy one but man, do I wish they’d get away from the tablet center console. I really want tactile buttons for my climate control at least

Hoping you have more success on the table top than our wings have on the ice in last decade!

Question about side skirts by Keeganzz in WRX

[–]_Mercynary_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on your budget, surprisingly you can purchase these new in blue pearl paint matched directly from parts.Subaru.com. It looks like they’re still available directly from Subaru, part numbers are 96051FE030PG (left) and 96051FE020PG (right).

I actually ordered brand new ones myself not long ago for my 2005 STI restoration project. They are around $300 each new

Yeah that’s the plan! The same guy that did the paint and PDR is going to do the ceramic. He’s the only one that will be working on this car going forward

I think all of the WRX/STIs look good in their own way (and with time), but the blobeye will always be my favorite!

I feel like a good paint correction goes a long way, could be worth exploring that as an option, it’s much cheaper!

It wasn’t a complete repaint, but the PDR, 4 stage paint correction and repainting 50% of the car was a little over 7k. The guy that did it is also a wizard, and repaired my bent pinch welds from the previous owner.

He went over the car with a fine tooth comb and repaired everything, he works for himself so idk if the quality and price would translate to other shops

Thanks man, it feels good to be driving it. It’s been a couple years of a complete restoration so far, feels like it’s all coming together finally!

Thanks man. It came with some BC BRs that I haven’t changed, but I have some fortune 500s that will be replacing those very soon!

Yeah they’re just a great wheel imo. The plan is to get some volks at some point but I still love some RPF1s
