Were you looking for a straight on shot from the rear? I actually hand picked these pictures, and I thought I remember seeing a straight on shot in there somewhere lol. Or was it just the rear spats in general that you were not liking? Let me know.

Thanks,
Rick

Oh no the pictures are great! I'm actually talking about the product unfortunately. I still haven't found a solution for the sides/rear that I like. Can't believe they didn't incorporate any rockers into the damn car from the factory, even my WRX had plain jane black ones I got factory matched.

Ahhh gotcha, and totally understand. I am excited to see all of these new products hitting the market, and hopefully something will come out that you love. Let's just hope you do not have to wait too long

Thanks,
Rick

I'm an OEM+ kinda guy so I'm looking for something low key. If you see something like that, let me know Rick!

I am also a huge fan of OEM, and if the budget allows it, how about some gorgeous OEM STi parts?

Not sure the two tone look is for me; I've considered them though. I wonder how hard it would be to paint match them or if that would be blasphemous...

No way! I am a sucker for painted CF parts. I know many people think it is blasphemous for sure haha, but I figure if you want light weight, strength, and color matched, what better to get that than painting over carbon? It would not be harder than any other clear coated parts, basically just prepping for primer, then a couple of coats of paint and finally the clear coat. I think it would look amazing personally

Thanks,
Rick

It was about 15 degrees today, so I tried my best not to shiver when we filmed that haha.

Thanks,

TEIN Coilovers installed! But as you can tell by the ice on the front bumper its freezing cold! Once it warms up a little bit outside/no snow/no ice(black ice)/temps go over freezing we will take the car out for a test drive and do a full review



Thanks,
Rick

I have the paper from the first alignment, but I had them fiddle with it a bit after a test drive and I did not get a print out from that. However I can give you some rough specs

Front
Camber: -1.2
Caster: 6.3
Toe: .05 L and R

Rear
Camber: -2(ish)
Toe: .1 L and R

Please note I did not set this up to be an aggressive alignment as we are still in the middle of a cold winter, but once it starts to warm up and after a few test drives, I may make some changes to this.

Hope this helps
Thanks,
Rick
