What do you guys recommend on doing a gold version of the rear bumper stripe?

I want to gold in the front too. I saw the custom chrome piece that was purchased and painted, so that's an option for the front bumper stripe.

Sorry for bugging y'all with my inquiries. I want to start my own thread, yet I have yet to anything to show.

Are you asking whether it would look good or how to do it?

Any vinyl material will do. Either see if a gold color is available in the width you want or take it to a shop that vinyl wraps cars to pinstripe it

I'm making a bookmark folder of all the items I want to mod.

I'd agree with all of this. Japanparts will certainly become your friend. That's the best place to find what you need.

In terms of gold accents, not my choice, but you can certainly do it with vinyl wrap!

Has anyone acquired the STi or the tS JDM seats? I didn't see them on Subaru (Jap) site.

Those are not available at all. The best you can do is get some Recaro Sportster CS's and then reupholster? You're be looking at well into the 6-7k territory thought.

I was hanging out with Tim Harrop in Japan all last week.
Super solid dude.

The 2013 tS seats are available in Japan to purchase outright. It's just unless you personally know someone who runs an import business who would be willing to import it for you, you're pretty much out of luck. The side airbags are defined as an explosive device, so most businesses do not want the liability of importing a grey market item with such a classification.

I have a set of Recaros in cart haha, but waiting on whether I 100% commit to my new car order or not. If not, Im buying those suckers immediately

Just a little alignment action... after installing some RCE Tarmac Zeros! Moar low!

botbs · 02-17-2018, 10:16 PM

Any reason you went with Harrop instead of Cosworth SC?

kuczynskika · 03-31-2018, 07:42 PM

Aint nothin' like OEM...

OEM tS badge and pinstripe... its been years of pining over these stupid little stickers but hey, here we are!

For the pinstripe, note to installers: use a lubricant like clay solution. Spray the adhesive backing and the surface of the bumper then install. You can then move and adjust the stripe and then go back to force the lubricant out.
