Dat body kit tho. A bit too much?

NyC Zn6 · 11-06-2015, 04:21 PM

So much gills it breathes underwater.

I mean.... I like it some but it's a little too busy for my personal taste.

nickmerronesucks · 11-06-2015, 04:56 PM

no. no it shouldn't.

As a track only proposition perhaps, but as a daily driver no. Its has zero DD practicality, will attract the wrong kind of attention and a multipoint seat harness in a car without a roll cage?

Wrong kind of attention, indeed.

I do like what they did with the car.

A sweet ride man, wasn't too thrilled about the Varis kit until now. :-0

What a coincidence!!! I just met Nguyen yesterday. I took my car to AndrewTech for an alignment, and Nguyen was the tech that did the work.

I asked him about his car (he did not have it at the shop), and he showed me photos and told me about a video that was recently made. I saw his car at BoxerFest, this year but I didn't know it was his.

He is a very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and willing to talk to with the customer.

If you're in the MD, DC, VA area and need a Subaru repair, performance and tuner shop check out AndrewTech.

Wow that kit is so nasty!

A little too much for an ideal STI though IMO..

Summerwolf · 01-06-2016, 05:33 PM

Very fugly. I would pass.

Not knocking the build but the original intent of this thread was to suggest that this should be the STi version of the BRZ. I too strongly disagree. Nice looking car but way too aggressive for me and for mass consumption. I have long been a huge fan of "OEM+" this video shows an example that has gone much further than that.
