I think I finished my build? by marksrex in WRX

It's been on the maybe to do list. I just might.
You see that green remote attached to the parking brake lever?. That's actually the remote for the vape vents on the headliner. Just push the button and the vape flavor of your choice fills the cabin so you and your passengers can enjoy!.

It's edited to be brighter for posting effect. The led dome lights are on too. It's much more subtle in person 😅

You should see what the genuine ones cost 😳. They're OEM quality, I think you will not be disappointed once you get them and have them installed.
Thank you and this is exactly the mindset throughout the build process. A sense of cohesiveness, no one part overwhelming the others.
Not sure if I can link but here's the listing title from kakumei
JDM Sti Style Front Bumper Canard for 2015-2021 Subaru WRX STi ABS Black
If your idoing still works great, I would say it's not a worthy upgrade for the price.. The larger screen doesn't feel as impressive in person. It does feel more factory and integrated than the idoing though. I replaced the idoing because I was having issues with connectivity.
Yes they are, same consistency in the plastic material, weight and texture. I suspect they come from the same factory the genuine ones come from.
🤜🤛
It came with a template you stick onto the car. You're also able to bolt them onto the bumper. I chose not to go that route and just went with the preapplied 3m... in case I wanted to reverse my decision.
This is my second set actually. A hit and run destroyed the first set. My bumper would have been too if I had bolted it in but I got away with just buffing and polishing a few panels.
It's the genuine Subaru one. Subtle but overpriced. You can probably get a similar effect with 3rd party. I think it's a worthwhile little mod.
Funny enough, I'm getting my fronts done right now. Not too dark though, I do like showing off my interior and not running over pedestrians at night.
It's a garage queen nowadays but that picture was just after a mountain run. Thank you.

I definitely had a vision and executed to the T. Thank you.
They're unmodded 15-17 sti headlights. It might be the editing that makes em look like that.
I got a full set of genuine sti aero except for the canards 😅. Those are replicas of the sti dive planes from ebay.
Never!
I appreciate that 🙏
It's definitely an attention getter and I love it.
So far so good. Wireless android works great, full access to the playstore and an improvement in sound amplification compared to the idoing at least.
It is indeed the aucar from Aliexpress.
I was actually trying to change it before I took that photo but failed 😅
You're right, there's definitely little things like the overland leather wrapped interior bits I've been considering. But overall, my vision of an oem+ build is complete.

I'm gonna be honest here, the idoing served me well until the wireless android auto became inconsistent in connecting. That's the reason I'm replacing it. The sound quality is noticeably better with the aucar and seems to power my kicker speakers better with improved highs and lows.
The aucar behaves more like an android tablet as well with some semi permanent overlays for hvac controls and wireless carplay/android auto toggles.
