I have been wanting an excuse to change my tyres as I still have the OEMs... MPSS no longer available in the UK in the OEM size...

Because I didn't realize I had ordered the wrong ones lol. The correct ones are delayed in shipping right now.


Edit: Correct latches came in today.

First mod! Picked up a set of used OEM/JDM clear side markers on eBay for $35. Overall good shape but I had to swap in an "A" clip from one of the original units. Installed some Philips amber LEDs with it, which had the brightness I wanted (not too bright).

I'd probably have left the amber side markers on there, but the clear ones really clean it up especially with WRB + red Brembos.

Fresh trunk lid without spoiler Shade is slightly off but the rest of the car could use a buff anyway lol. Once things get back to normal I will have the body shop match it up to the tee.


I have been always wanting to rid my stock wing since I got the car. Added the STI logo after this shot was taken.

You missed a trick here.. the blank plate is screaming for a slogan "This is the real thing, it's not a FRS."
