Yeah they look amazing for sure! And really the output at night is almost just as good with a bit of a yellow tint to them.

Thanks,

That is a Great Question! This is tough to put my finger on as there are a few that really stand out but for different reasons. I would say the first and perhaps most obvious would be the coilovers and tires, those 2 alone added so much to the car in regards to response, feedback and overall feel. I would also have to rate the Cusco engine and rear diff mounts up there as well, as that really gave the whole car a very raw feeling, evening when at idle, you just know you are sitting in something aggressive, plus I feel like they match the overall tone and attitude of the car.
The Prova Steering wheel and Kartboy short throw shifter added a huge amount to the car as well, not in the way the car drives or anything, but it just makes the car feel so much more sporty and like you are driving something special. But I will admit, I am a bit weird in that I like all of the things I touch in a car to feel and work in a certain way, so my brakes must be just so, my shifter, my steering wheel etc.. but from what we have done I will say the car is just a joy to drive, a very raw and direct experience with all of the mods we have done.

Hope this helped and let me know if you have any questions

Thanks,
Rick

Those lamin x sheets were an epic fail for me. Stupid sheet wouldn't align right. I put it back on the paper backing and hopefully it will be fine so I can try again tomorrow haha

Oh man are they fun! haha, yeah we fought with ours for sure but eventually got them. Make sure to use lots of the spray so you can slide it around to line it up, and once you get it lined up, use the squeegee and a heat gun to get all the bubbles/wrinkles out.

Let me know if you are still running into issues

See that was my original plan like I do with most overlays but the instructions said not to do that. I'm going to use a lot of water this time and that should make it much easier! Thanks!

Yeah we tried it first using their instructions and ended up using plenty of the spray to get it lined up where we needed it Just make sure you use heat or plenty of sunlight on a warm day and the squeegee to get all the liquid out from under the film.

Thanks,
Rick

You answered my question thoroughly especially w/ the rear diff and engine mounts. I'm curious what you think about the positive traction kit and positive shift kit in terms of a more raw feel. Would you say it still gives a more aggressive feel to the albino rhino?

Yeah we really like our rear positive traction kit inserts, the rear subframe bushings are pretty sloppy and they were a great way to remove the play without adding much NHV(if any really), I would not say it made the car feel any more raw, but more direct in the rear end for sure. The Positive shift kit helped the transmission movement, but it was pretty minimal, but with virtually no NHV increase, where I think a Group-N mount might give a bit more direct and raw feeling, but also with more NHV, but I do think the Group-N is almost the perfect compromise between stock and a super hard mount like the Cusco's. In fact I have run the GRoup-N mounts on almost all of my personal Subarus and I love them

Thanks,
Rick

great read!! definitely took some time but love what you've done with the Rhino, great reviews on products... cant wait for more follow ups! Do you have any future exterior dress up plans?
Quick question...What have you come to find out to be the lightest cat-back exhaust option?

[RallySport Direct]

Thanks! Always appreciate the kind words

In regards to the catback I know there are a few that are in the 10-15 lb lighter than stock with the dual exit, which is actually pretty good, although I have heard a rumor about a Titanium single exit which would shave quite a bit of weight from the rear We will keep you posted!

Thanks again!
Rick
