as far as i know the kits are MADE to ORDER. So there is no way to buy certain parts of the kit..all or nothing.

That's what I'm worried about too. My friend at the body shop I'm taking my car to is amazing and is going to make those lower fender pieces work on the front bumper but the front lip I was never too elated about. I'm hoping that the STI side skirts will match up with the rear fenders, if not I'll continue with my Siebon carbon and get their front lip (hope to god I don't demolish the thing...) and side skirts.

Switchlanez, how hard was it to get the STI parts from Japanparts? I tried to order them but my bank locked up and thought Japanese hackers were trying to steal my money so I couldn't use my Debit card for a week.

Haven't had an issue with my debit card when ordering from JParts; however, I've taken to using an associate's credit card as his card doesn't have foreign currency transaction fees.

My bank's automatic fraud detection locked the transaction so I had to call my bank to manually push it through. Since then I've been using PayPal (with int'l surcharge that comes out to be the same as my credit card's int'l surcharge after spending rewards discount is applied).

The companies I've used are Rallysportdirect, Fastscions, FRsport, and ft86speedfactory.

They've all been amazing to work with.

UPDATE: Finally fixed my Spyder auto led Taillights. Had a problem where the red strip was the turn signal and the turn signals were always on. Only had to switch two wires. Not sure how I feel about them though. Will post pictures once I can get some good ones.

Is that the same Cusco rear strut brace used in the current WRX? The design is the same, I wonder if it would fit.

Exciting! I vote you paint the carbon fiber parts. Why? Because Galaxy Blue is the sexiest of the sexy colors! Can't wait to see what's next
