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

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

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?

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
