Is the black from the kit really noticeably different than the stock paint? Or do you think it would be worth color matching it to the car?

Thanks! You should check out @Nitesh31 build thread. His is bad ass.

It is noticeable but not negatively to the point that it makes it look off, the mouthguard helps with making it fit in with the body. And especially if you get a new set of rims that match the Crystal Black, it will accentuate the overall look in a positive way.

Yeah I'm going to purchase it in November with my bonus check lol. His car kinda looks like mine minus the kit. Hey what's the mouthguard you mentioned? Also does the weather stripping come with the sti kit or is that something you had to purchase separately? Also did you order from japanparts.com?

I guess you can't really tell from this picture, but it's the plastic piece on the bumper where my license plate is on.

If you're talking about the rubber lip -- No, it didn't come with the kit. I ordered it separately from avoJDM, but it looks like Japanparts.com has it cheaper.

I got my STI aero kit from SubaruGenuineParts.com.

i see your talking about the famous mustache lol. so its more of a matte color.. i could like with that. and about the rubber lip, i know thats the extension to the front lip to absorb DD damage.. i was referring to the rubber strips that meet where the skirts and spats meet the paint of the car. im not sure if weather strips come with aero parts.

Lol, yes the mustache, but I like to refer to it as a mouthguard for the boxer [engine].

Having already scraped the bottom of the STI lip on stock height, I figured I would invest in the rubber extension to safeguard the more expensive lip when I do eventually lower it.

Oh! Yes, they do come attached with the aero parts.

LMAO yeah makes more sense. Thats good news cause i was worried it wouldnt come. Yeah im lowered on the Sportline eibach so its like an inch and a half drop, im usually careful and approach all dips and bumps at angles. adding another inch or so with the lip should be interesting....

Was at a racetrack when a storm rolled in. Took the opportunity to take some photos. Unfortunately I only had my phone with me but still got some decent shots
