Pretty sure the lip itself is painted blue, and the unpainted bottom piece is the universal rubber protection add-on available through Subaru.

I've got the Series Blue kit sitting on the floor of my garage and I'm wondering if I should paint it to match. I like the way it looks on the WRB. I have a DGM.

These are 18's on 235/40 if that helps your decision.

Just got my Diode Dynamics Always On Module, and low and behold, it only half works lol.

Anyone else here run into a problen with theirs where the drl strips and boomerangs dont light up when the ebrake is released with the headlights off? Both boomerangs and drl strips turn on and stay on when the headlights are on and the drl strips work when i dim them. Its like this module pretty much does the opposite of turning the boomerangs and drl strips into drl lights and disabling them completely.

Emailed diode dynamics and all they told me is that there are no lights on when the headlights are off.

i have first hand experience with a faulty always-on unit

FIRST, without the always-on unit

your lower DRL should light up when the car is in daylight and E-brake not engaged

your lower DRL goes away and top boomerang and headlight goes on
at night time.

2nd, WITH the always-on unit

during the day, your lower and upper DRL should be on with E-brake not engaged

at NIGHT time your headlight and upper and lower DRL should be on

if not contact Diode dynamic for help..

they sent me a new unit as soon as they made them.

I would leave it… It's gonna get chipped and damaged eventually. The quality of the OEM pieces look good enough to not paint over.

I've got 17's with 245's. I'll probably wait and get it all done at once.
