That looks awesome! Very inspiring, I'm gonna replicate the look :P

Did you paint the side mirrors or are they a cover?

Is that the same lot that tj hunt usually shoots his videos?

How do you feel about those drl extensions? Is it almost worth the $250? I'm thinking about just plastidipping them but I know it'll looks tacky lol.

Haha not sure at what lot he shoots but this was closer to his part of town and he's my buddy.

I have to criticize the fitment which isn't perfect. You will need to use the supplied black vinyl tape to cover any paint that the plastic piece doesn't cover along the edge where it meets the DRL cover. And you have to remove the cover and LED strip to apply the tape and truly cover any exposed paint. To me it was worth the money just because I've been looking for something to freshen up my front fascia and the hard plastic material extending the fog light grill is akin to the moustache extending over the main grill. I wouldn't mind using the template posted earlier to make a vinyl wrap instead since you end up partially doing that anyway for the OEM piece.

EDIT: Speaking of which @Teeeg28, I think you live down the street from my friend who recognized his street in your vlogs lol. I go to his house every so often to play Smash Bros and other stuff with other car people.

My covers are on. So heres the download: as @switchlanez mentioned, the fitment isn't perfect; however, this is because (and I take my original statement back), I now see that there IS a slight difference in the "fins" between the fog light covers and the non-fog light covers. How off is it? I would say it fits about 95%+ of the way. Essentially you will have a larger gap on one of the "fins" depending on how you line up the extension. At the same time, the use of the black vinyl included with the kit hides the gap pretty well. You only really see the gap when you're very up close and looking head on. At what I call normal distances (like the pictures above), you tend to look at the car from a down angle which helps even more to hide the gaps. While it sucks it ended up like that, I don't regret doing it. Just be prepared to fiddle with it to get it to a state you're satisfied with.

Another mention 'bout tS parts not sold:
this front bumper grille cover...isn't sold such as tS badge and other.




but...

Subaru has this part on sale in Europe, the SEBDCA3600 (front trim chrome), only chrome.

http://www.kiessetz-und-schmidt.de/o...tail&item=6098



You can buy the SEBDCA3600 and repaint with this option colour code: GrimmSpeed Cherry Blossom Paint

is the same profile of chrome.[/QUOTE]


I ALSO KNOW ABOUT THIS CROME PART SEBDCA3600 that is availible here in Europe !
But i think it is made of Flexible Rubber Material
so you CANNOT Paint it !!!!!

Kind off topic, but does japanparts combine shipping if you order multiple parts at once?

Yes they do, but it does depend on the specific items and how well they can fit together in a box.

In most of the cases they'll combine shipping. However, as you mentionced it should be in a single order. I wanted once to include in a single shipping a newer order and they couldn't make it. They shipped the first order and then with a separate shipping the second one.
