Got Verus the brackets on

Now compare them to bulky OEM items

Pretty ugly

Like I posted in the exhaust hanger thread, the Subaru JDM hangers helped eliminate the resonance I've been getting in the cabin. Guess it's more of a design thing cause the OEM hangers didn't look deteriorated or anything

In other news, the car is being dropped off at the paint shop this weekend so hopefully the next time I post will be with the new bumper, wing and tail lights

The new gauge cluster fascia arrived. No freakin clue how to do any of the wiring, as the instructions are in japanese. Guy in the video uses a voltmeter or something. May just let my mechanic figure the electrics of it out. Love the way it looks though! Wanted a yellow tach for a while

If anyone installed one of these, let me know. Not sure what to do here

StraightOuttaCanadaEh · 07-16-2021, 08:38 AM

Installed

but now two of the needles are messed up so I need to take it out and do it again. Tacho looks fantastic though

Great build! looking forward to seeing the car with the painted bumper!

should be able to pick it up from the paint shop tomorrow!

Picked up the car finally. Here are some potato pics

Also asked the shop to fill in the badge recess in the trunk garnish

It feels good to see a wing in my rear view again

Just had to google the full artisan spirits kit. Now that's a proper wide body kit instead of the rivet riddled rocketbunnies you see everywhere!

Yeah I agree. Looks real nice. Might be tempted to convert to full kit in the future. For now this'll have to do haha

the more i look at it the more the gr second gen looks like it takes a lot of design similarities to the artisan spirits kit for the first gen

This one was released before the GR was revealed, and I think they drew their inspiration from the Supra actually

Went to the 86 day meet in Toronto and finally had a decent pic taken of my car by @FL4TBXR

Is the rear bumper from Artisan Spirits too? Looks stock but it's hard to tell. Were you able to buy just the front bumper cover?

No it's the stock 2017 rear bumper. Yeah I was able to buy the front bumper and rear wing

StraightOuttaCanadaEh · 09-11-2021, 08:54 PM

Repositioned the front license plate bracket so it doesn't obstruct the air flow to the radiator as much

From this

To this

I think that looks much better.

Also installed the new tails

Decided to keep the Valenti 4th brake light, I think they look cool together.

Overall a big fan of the Intecs. I think they break up the sea of red at the rear quite well

Some garbage iphone pics lol
