Yep! found it; thanks for letting me know, I went back through the build since there weren't that many pages and found it. just sent him a PM asking for it if he still has it.

If so... I would love to see if anyone has part numbers for that... going from the track with the back seats up and down I get unnecessary dirt and worrying about ripping the cloth from my tools on the back of the back seat.

Yep, it's a one piece that covers the back seat as well.
It would be perfect for track days.

The part number is: PU550-18151-01.

Here's a pic of the seat folded down.

Had an hour or so to kill so I pulled the wheels, detailed the wheel wells and added a coat of spray wax. It sounds OCD but from previous cars I know it makes it 10 times easier to identify any issues if you aren't digging through 5 years of mud. Particularly with this being my daily driver and doing my own maintenance.





And a picture of inside the PP wheel for future reference. No surprises.
Made in Japan by Subaru and 17x7.5" +48 with a ton of wheel weights.

And a quick one, TRD Door Handle Protectors.

Love your eye for detail, makes me want to detail my wheel well too, nice OEM++ !

[monkeybike]

Finally added the TRD Fender Fins.

I couldn't decide for a long time whether to go with the carbon fibre versions or black.
In the end I decided the carbon didn't fit the rest of the build.
Because it is a Black Package model with the wheels and the mirrors and wing in Crystal Black Silica, it made it an easy decision to buy the matching pre-painted ones.

Awesome. Those are the ones I got as well and to this day I keep getting questions about them. When a car pulls up alongside, the driver's eyes instantly get pulled to them.

Thanks. Yeah I love them.
I’m wondering whether I should get side stabilizing covers or if it will be too much.

My vote on this is no. Those things look weird imo and I think those c pillar VGs would be better for your build.

It only takes you an hour to pull & detail your wheels? Man your good, come over to my place & show me how!

[monkeybike]

Yeah at the moment I’m leaning towards no.
With light or bright coloured cars, it looks like the car is wearing too much eye makeup.

If you read the Japanese blogs, sometimes it seems like every second car has them.

I think it looks ok on Moonslate like the one below which is the same model as mine with the lower TRD kit added.

It’s easy with the right equipment and products.
Otherwise it would be a nightmare.

- Pressure wash first
- Carpro IronX (if needed)
- Meguiars APC
- Meguiars Quik Wax

A couple of good soft brushes and a bunch of Costco microfibre towels you’re willing to throw away.

You can do both fronts or rears at a time alternating side to side while the products work on the other side. It also helps that there’s no such thing as snow or salt here

Doesn't look bad there, but still odd looking.
