here is the first step...now tmw I'll finish with clear coat flex.

You need :

- spray primer for PU & Fiberglass

- levelling with soft ultrafine 3M for grip

- Red Cherry Blossom as I reported

- levelling with soft ultrafine 3M to opacize and proper paint grip

Then clear coat with additive (matte 10%).

Install....

asked @Yuki now...

Apologies in advance if this has been answered, but is there a part number and link to purchase the pink tS bumper garnish yet? I'm having trouble sourcing it.

To clarify, I'm looking for the pink piece that lines the "smile" portion of the front bumper opening.

Thanks

Yes. There is a part no. but Subaru Japan doesn't sell outside Japan to a non tS owner......like some other parts.

Mine from Germany and sliders from Nikitopo and Japanparts. Now solving about sidebag wiring harness thus Recaros are coming with VW connector and you need to modify car side connectors with male VW.
You need to recover passenger seat sensor and wire it otherwise airbags warning signal is still on.
If you wish to avoid sidebags, you need to short the plug (car side) with 3.3 Ohm resistor - 1 watt (orange, orange, gold, gold).

@Trap63 do you lose heated seat functionality, or do those come with seat heaters as well?

thinking if I do something like this that that function, those buttons, and the alcantara seats become useless

great interior btw!

There are some grade about Recaro Sportster CS, with heated seat too and Recaro include wiring and connector and extra side push button, but you can wire it directly to BRZ heating connector.
Here in Italy BRZ is without seat heating (like Saudi Market). This function is optional only for GT86 if you order.
Heating seats aren't a top requested optional here...

Interesting that VW still uses connectors for the seat airbags. A few years ago there was a mass tsb/recall for a lot of their cars to eliminate the connectors due to the airbag warning keep coming on (very common for their cars for a very long time), and to have the wiring re-done with a permanent connection.

They are new as locking system , twice like toyota but rectangular. It's very difficult to find here toyota one while VW sells easy wiring repair kit for 9$ each.

I know you can just put together a set of sportster cs. I meant specifically the set from Sti, which was what he was asking about

There's a seat heater option for the sportster cs but no side air bag option currently for the ones available here. Side airbags are still only offered in Europe and Asia

As said no sales outside Japan. ..only way is standard Sportster CS and rebuild like Japanese tS ones. They are sold only in sidebag grade and therefore cannot be exported outside Japan.
Same story about genuine subframe: only valid for Japan. No TUV and US transportation certified......Sold only from Japanese branch of Recaro.

I can confirm that the JDM STi Recaros do not come with seat heater pads. They do come complete with seat belt sensors, airbags and rails. If I could get my hands on a set I do not see why you guys can't.
It would probably be an easy task for an auto trimmer to swap the heater pads out of the stock seats and install into the sportsters.

These are the guys I used... surely there must be a similair company in the U.S.?
