You're in San Antonio? Have you taken your car to the 3 Sisters near Medina?

It's an awesome set of 3 roads which make a nice loop around the hill country. The twists and turns are perfect for our cars and the roads are usually pretty empty.

Not sure. Shouldn't take long. Maybe 45 minutes to get there. The loop really starts in Leakey, but usually the meets are in Medina. The total loop takes about 3 or 4 hours with occasional stops.

Check it out guys, just got pictures of the interior trim I sent off to get hydro dipped. The company was Lawless Hydrographics (@lawlesshydro on Instagram and Ronnie Lawless on Facebook) located in Kerrville, Texas. I highly recommend him if any of you are local, or you can ship to him which is what I did. I got them done in a darkish blue carbon fiber to match the blue galaxy theme I have going on so I can offset the HyperBlue a bit. They're currently in return shipping, I will post an update when I install them on Friday

Blue carbon! Nice! How much did that cost you? Does the finish seem pretty durable?

Finally got the trim installed! It looks really good in person, and absolutely amazing in the light. Here's my shifter area. Excuse the messy car lol

-Raceseng Reverse Lockout
-Billetworkz Shift Knob
-Subispeed Drift Button
-STi Push-To-Start



Definitely plan to change the trac and stability control buttons to black, anyone have any ideas for a DIY or is there a black set sold anywhere?

It's got all the part numbers for the black trim pieces (including the black buttons you want)

I know ft86speedfactory sells a black button set for 50 bucks.

Keep it or go OEM?

Alright guys I need some opinions. Currently I have the OEM STi side skirts and rear spats. I could've also got the OEM front lip at the time, but the replica I had looked really good, almost, if not, exactly the same finish as the other OEM lip kit pieces, and the material is extremely durable. After installing, fitment was slightly off, but almost un noticeable. It's one of the only "cheap-out options" I have on her at the moment with the other being my wheels. Is it worth the $350 for an almost identical product just to say I didn't go the cheap route, or should I not even sweat it? At meets and shows, no one knows it's a rep unless I mention it, even the hardcore 86 dudes. Let me know what y'all think.

EDIT: It's a Bayson R replica!
