Install: eBay v2 Lip Modification (Part 2)
Picking up from Part 1, this post will cover the STi side splitters I added to the v2 eBay lip. And if you don’t know what STi side splitters are here is a pic. These splitters are found on 04-05 STi (Blobeye) models. I believe the Hawkeyes got some too but those are integrated into…

Install: v7 JDM STi Grill Mods (Part 2)
Picking up where I left off on the v7 JDM STi grill in Part 1, it’s now time to remove the drift stitches and make this piece structurally whole again. Or at least attempt to. The first area I wanted to address was the crack below the main stitches. With a sharp blade, I removed…

Install: eBay v2 Lip Modification (Part 1)
A while back I picked up a v2 replica lip off of eBay. I usually don’t run a lip on my cars as Subies have a good amount of front overhang; I like to lower my cars and Knoxville has a lot of extreme elevation transitions, with my driveway being one of the worst offenders.…

Install: v7 JDM STi Grill Mods (Part 1)
I picked up this broken JDM STi grill over the winter with the intention of modifying it to my liking. It was relatively cheap to modify without too much anxiety. My goal was to document the process, then I got completely sidetracked by school and other mods. So I am trying to get the blog…

Rumbles: Exterior Mods
I’ve been thinking about my aesthetics lately and the gearhead in me wants to focus solely on performance mods, but the photographer in me wants more exterior mods for the photos. After shooting Sara’s WRX with her new mods, a couple of weeks ago, it got me thinking about my own exterior mod plans. View…

Install: Blitz Nur-Spec Axle Back
After the Carbon Fiber Driveshaft install, my exhaust note somehow became extremely quiet. I don’t need a super loud exhaust, but I do like to be able to hear it without straining my ears. I initially wanted a Delta Motorworks CBE, but it’s nearly $1,000 and I honestly don’t know what it would sound like…

Install/Review: DSS Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
The spring semester is almost over and during that time, Blipshift made another run of the Gutentight shirts. Thank you to everyone that bought a shirt, that money helps purchase more car parts! And while it wasn’t enough to by a Carbon Fiber Driveshaft outright, it did provide a steep discount. đ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bh8-oeFn0Bq/?taken-by=b.obsidian Initial Pics…

Install: DrivewayLabs Hood Vents
As discussed in the previous post, I ordered a set of hood vents from DrivewayLabs. https://www.instagram.com/p/BfoIQtZFDoK/ The package arrived quickly as it was shipped out Priority Mail via USPS. Generally speaking, packages coming from the west coast may as well be in another county. I tend to avoid vendors on the west coast because of this.…

Install: RCE Yellow Springs
In my previous post, I mentioned that my front driver’s side RCE Yellow spring broke. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bev5RsXFrNi/ So I placed an order with Kyle@Subieworks for another set of RCE Yellows. RSD shipped them out promptly, and the package arrived on Tuesday, I took off early from work to get my car back on the road. I had…
