I just happened to check japanparts and now they seem to have the fog light cover extension. Them price! for 2 lil plastics. That aside, I also saw a side skirt labeled sti (perhaps ver.2?) and it was similar to the wrx/sti aero. Much thinner/mostly underbody and only had small flare on the back side where it meets the wheel arch? Same goes for the spats (thin similar to the wrx/sti spat) but the parts got taken down shortly after I checked out Hopefully, the items will be back up soon. Plus, I ordered the (ver.1) sti sideskirts just last week (sigh).

I'll be visiting the mechanic later today I'll report back on the setup.
I believe it is now more clear. Flexible strut bar or flexible draw stiffener don't induce understeer, but make a stock car more neutral. The car in stock form has a tendency to oversteer, so by making stiffer the front end you "transfer" grip on the rear. This makes the car overall more planted. I think it is a point of balance. For example, if someone made the front end even stiffer then he would have eventually an understeer behavior.

Yes, indeed. Very pricey for just two plastics?

At least the arm rests are nice and cheap.

But ya, I won't be ordering those plastic bumper bits for that price LMAO

PS Is that a part number for the pink grill bit?

Once all the other interior 2015 tS bits come out I foresee an order... Btw in case anyone wanted to know, when you order the Subaru specific parts (such as the tS interior pieces) Japanparts gives you points on for future discounts that you can use again toward Subaru or other manufacturer parts. Doesn't work on STI parts tho... 😓

Sometimes manufacturers do this on purpose to curb demand. Like with VW parts for a time they raised the price of the red GTI emblem from $20 to like $150 just to curb demand from non-337 / 20th Anniversary Mk4 GTI owners.

Looks on that Pic like the Fog Light Extension Covers
are only thin Stickers

2 Stickers for that F****** Price !!! NEVER !!!!


i really Think that someone must Ask at Japanparts from what they are made of !

+ asking if the Price is a Joke............or hopefully a mistake

We just need someone to trace it so we can get vinyls cut.

I do believe the final pieces are plastic, but I could be wrong.
