mclarenf3 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Cleaned it up a bit and removed paint splatter, so had it fully machine polished: That red trim on the front lip is really growing on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 (edited) Nicely done IceWolf, she's coming along... Turns out Kiwis are offering a slightly modified 3.6RS to bid fairwell to the BN/BS and the EZ36D+TR690 combo. Sad to see these engines go instead of getting PI/DI, maybe higher compression with a re-revised bore/stroke and tad lower displacement target, a decent set of OE exhaust headers and 8 simulated gears like the WRX/S4/Levorg. https://www.subaru.co.nz/offers/sti UPDATE I see you guys wrote about the RS a few pages back.. and likely earlier too. Cool! 8-10 years ago we also used to contact Kiwi and Nihon-jin dealerships and service dept, look up JDM/EDM part numbers in Russian service manual sites... and order parts from NZ, AU, JP, RU, South America. ah those were the days.

gathermewool Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 That red trim on the front lip is really growing on me. Same here. I really didn't like it very much at first, but it has grown on me. I'm not the type of person do add it to my Leggy, but I now appreciate its appeal and look. '15 FB25 Magnatec 0W-20 + FU filter (70,517 miles) RSB, Fr.

IcEWoLF Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 I’ve been thinking about smoking my headlights but I think I’ll pass on that, I will however look into smoking out the orange reflectors and replace the Subaru c light and get the diode dynamics c light which will have the amber turn signal using the c-ligth. My friend does headlight opening so he should be able to do a good job with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gathermewool Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 It is my personal opinion that smoked headlights are about as stupid as stupid gets for car mods. Some people are retrofitting HIDs or modifying HIR bulbs to fit their sockets, all in the pursuit of MORE light output and visibility (not to mention the numb nuts who just want the look, despite any actual benefits or negative effects on other drivers). I've personally done the HIR mod and it was definitely worth it for the OE-like durability and moderate increase in lumens, all without much additional glare or some obnoxious color temperature. Granted, my uncle had smoked headlight on his 3rd-gen Mustang GT back in the 90's and I thought that was just the coolest thing ever. When I was a teenager, I also thought neon lights, chrome dubs and hella-flush stances were cool, too... In short: don't do it! lol // DD Switchback C-Light is pretty great. I love the look and practicality! Do that and post up a lot of pictures! '15 FB25 Magnatec 0W-20 + FU filter (70,517 miles) RSB, Fr.

iyalla Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 That diode dynamic C light mod should be what Subaru did from factory. So nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2015 Tungsten Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I've had the Diode Dynamics C-Lights in my car for about 1 year now. Here is the link to the posts I made about them with some videos.

With the setup that he has probably looking at about $3500 installed atleast this was I was quoted for at my local area.the air management alone is $1200 But I if you just want basic setup it’s about $2K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATS4LIFE Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Just finished removing all splitters from Car,I smash the front splitter into a curb while trying to park and can’t be repaired so just decided to take the rest out and stay with the STi front lip for now.

Ronin3.6R Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Having windshield replaced by Safelite.... Windshield is OEM which is a pleasant surprise. I'm interested to see if ES has a hard time between today and re-calibration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I actually hit the curb pretty hard and I was suprise because the splitter was screwed on on the lip itself and it didn’t even crack the lip, so yes definitely it was a good buy.

IcEWoLF Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Anyone know where I can get jdm side markers? I am not too fond about amber in the headlights and when I do the c light mod with the diode dynamics I’d like to replace it with a jdm side marker. I don’t wanna use a vinyl on top.
