Don’t fool yourself. You have half Subaru, half Toyota car. lol

K fine, you can put this in there. It’s a direct bolt on


Joke a side, if you gonna repaint it to different color, you can go to Rock Auto & get these in blank (no paint) for dirty cheap. Just look up ‘07 Subaru Impreza 2.5L turbo section. Nugeon sell em blank iirc

Half Toyota? Bet those Toyota badges have Subaru stamped underneath.

Do they have dark green?

Yeah it’s everywhere! Grill mesh is “T” mesh. Even some of BRZ interior uses that design... til Subaru found out what it means then they took it off & put fake cf over it lol

Nope, they only have red, silver & blank. Recommend, getting bland & get it painted in green you want. I have seen some ppl do it & looks hella nice! I was going to do red without Subaru on it... but found a deal that I had to get, so went w that route

If painting I will just paint the calipers. Keep the winter gunk from building up in a cover.

Don’t they make caliper designed paint? Or it’s same damn thing?

I suspect high heat paint isn't quite good enough. But if he's not racing then maybe

"Caliper" paint is good to 900 degrees. The high heat paints are good to 1200. There is nothing special about caliper paint other than saying caliper on the label.

Ya. I sold the FRS with life still left on the original brake pads after 150,000 miles. My brakes don't take much pressure so I could probably use finger paint and it would last.

I’m no expert, but don’t think you need 1,200F lol stock pads can’t even handle that temp. Even those semi racing pads goes up to 800~900F.

Calipers usually don’t get over 500. Most of the heat is in the pad and rotor surface.

I know. That is why the high heat paint is fine. It greatly exceeds the max it will ever need to. "Caliper" paint is just marketing for the guys that think everything needs to be special.
