Yeah, I have to agree. They're so overpriced. I kind of regret making that purchase. But it was a crazy impulse buy.

True. I'm excited to see if there will be more cool parts to add/swap.

Hope they don't screw it up.

Preach. We will have to see what happens. I'm hankering for those newer tS arm rests and dash visor next. Yours look mint.

At last! A decent looking tS emblem is on its way!

I will take pictures once it arrives and I have it installed

Alright, here's what we got.

I am quite surprised by the quality of this badge. The thing is heavy. Heavier than the OEM STi badge to my recollection! The backing is made from some sort of metal, possibly aluminum and the letters are plastic. The back has a sufficient amount of 3M tape and the whole thing is exceedingly sturdy. No chance that you could bust this in two.

As you can see the red does not match the STi cherry blossom, but geeze... its close for a knock off. The silver 's' is not chrome, but it is very reflective. The paint is overall pretty good. The size of the badge seems to be accurate too.

I positioned it the best I could using pictures. Sure wish it came with a template, but oh well.

Overall: yes, it is a knock off. No, it is not OEM quality. I am normally a stickler for OEM, but damn... if you want a tS badge this is probably as good as it is going to get (unless you make one yourself or you have a buddy go to Japan and rip one off of a real tS). I am pleased with this and I am sure others will be too.

I wonder how long this offering on ft86speedfactory will last. If Subaru were to get wind I guarantee there would be hell to pay.

I think it looks good. I wouldn't be able to discern it from the OEM one (which I've only seen on the internets while staying at a holiday inn express).

Looks pretty good to me. Slowly becoming a tS BRZ

kuczynskika · 06-14-2016, 06:33 PM

Changes are happening! Here is what is on my list for install in the coming weeks/months:

-Cusco Strut Tower Bar
-Radium PCV Catch Can
-Subaru European Domestic Market Chrome Front Bumper Garnish (Planning on refinishing and painting GrimmSpeed STI Cherry Blossom Red
-STI 2015 tS DRL extensions
Updated Stance: 5mm spacers front, 10mm rear

Possibly some Bilstein B16's... Thoughts?

Pictures forthcoming!

weederr33 · 06-14-2016, 07:03 PM

Are you going to keep the TRD springs on the Bilsteins?

Nah, I'd use the Bilstein springs. I like my TRDs, but the adjustability of the Bilstein's would be better IMO.

kuczynskika · 06-16-2016, 11:48 PM

Installed some things today:

-Radium PCV catch can
-Cusco front strut tower bar
-STi rear subframe bolts and upper stoppers

weederr33 · 06-17-2016, 12:08 AM

How was the installation for the catch can? I've been debating getting one, but I'm completely oblivious to which I should get. Especially since there are air/oil separators, crankcase catch cans, oil catch cans. I don't know which to get! haha.

It was stupid easy! Radium sells good stuff and has thorough install instructions. It seems to be a popular choice too. I liked it because of the mounting position (it will easily accommodate xyz supercharger and you can add a crank case catch can later). The guy I bought it from used it for 500 miles and said it was about half full with sludge after some good track time, so it certainly works.

kuczynskika · 07-07-2016, 10:02 PM

New stuff is rolling in!

Picked up some STi Flexible Draw Stiffeners from @SPCorBUST (many thanks to him). Anxious to get these on and see how they feel.

The Euro domestic market chrome bumper garnish also arrived. Just waiting on some grimmspeed cherry blossom red and the STi 2015 tS DRL Extensions now.
