- Considering the car makes 502whp, it doesn't look like it. Let's start some exterior mods so the car can finally look the part!

As an employee of a large shipping company I loved seeing the damaged auto parts. It always makes my day when I get to see my craftsmanship
bruh hahahhaha
Get a real job 😂😂
@@hashybrowns bet you don't even have one lmao
😂
This build has become the definition of Ben going "...and its finally done! However.."
This build is definition I need content for my youtube channel /will trade for a dirtbike*
As all good builds should be lol
@@anzelcanete435 good build shouldn't be perpetual money pit, instead move on to a next project.
_" _*_Well yes..._*_ But no...."_ - Ben Thorne (Probably)
@@alphaenterprise2232but some cars are forever cars and this seems like Bens
With the titanium bolts and now the carbon parts, Ben is really pushing the limits of weight reduction
he kinda lost the gain he made by adding paint to it...
Titanium is usually heavier than aluminium
@@MikeRaymond91 most bolts are steel since aluminum is soft, I can’t remember what he replaced exactly but either way, my original comment is a sarcastic joke lol
@@FbeauvilliersThey used a few ounces of paint at most lol
It's amazing how trying to add flare to the car made it look more stock 😂
Stock is good tho
yeah
This episode had me on a whole rollercoaster of emotions. When Ben said he was going to paint… I thought “are you kidding me??” but the mix of paint and carbon actually looks great. Another great episode 👏
Man 😂a few minutes into the video and it hurts to watch the carbon fiber getting destroyed
the linus tech tips of car parts out here
What a waste
@@vpkbYep, it’s too bad the shipping process damaged the parts. But great that they were able to get it replaced so easily.
It’s cheaper for the company to not pay for return shipping and it’s also better for the environment since the company would destroy it upon return anyway.
@@NazarKalinyukbetter for the environment except they chainsawed it creating loads of carbon fibre and resin dust that went… into the environment 😂
@@TheRZBMdon't worry I think Ben ended up breathing almost all of it into his lung filters😂
While the full carbon hood and spoiler are awesome individually, painting them really made them more inclusive with the car overall. Great video as always.
Ben has reached the car guy version of ," I'm not an alcholic, i can quite whenever I want."
You guys killed it with this one. The first few minutes I was laughing my ass off. Love the new direction you guys are going in. Keeps the viewer entertained and educational at the end
Always felt this age of sti look like the next Evo. Wing looks great in Evo spec.
Understand shipping problems, but Ben I still think there is a small dimple dent on the hood on the passenger side. You can see hitting the light at 5:19.
Amazing additions. Can’t wait to see the final episode!
The content quality is always top notch.
Love the choice of mods as usual. Very good call on the painted parts.
Dropping that spoiler feels like I'm watching Linus.
Seeing Ben holding and talking about the wing reminds me of how Linus drops PC items like crazy
Glad you painted them. Now it actually looks good. Well done. 👍🏻
There are a bunch of companies that make carbon fiber parts and recreations. Most affordable CF parts will be heavier or around the same weight as the take-off aluminum bits unless you splurge on actual race engineered parts.
Magnificent!!! Perfect amount of "added aggression" with the look and depth. Love it. The white and carbon working in unison with those wheels! 👍💯
Love it! I have a very similar STI to yours; white with bronze BBS wheels and I really really dig what you did.
they do call them evo-eyes fora reason
If you didn’t spend 100k in mods then it’s not similar..😅
That’s probably the best intro to one of your videos that I’ve seen yet Keep up the great work.
Pro tip from someone that's worked in the fright industry!
Fragile stickers don't stop other boxes being put on top of it when being loaded in a truck.
If everyone had a fragile sticker, something still needs to be on the bottom of the pile!
Companies should pack their boxes with the assumption that their box will be on the bottom of a big pile.
Love that you keep the motor clean as well!
DROPPED IT TWICE 🤣🤣😭
I adore how much those little changes managed to round out the cars look! I too am someone who values little tweaks and details, so this has been incredibly satisfying! ^^
I did the same for my wing a few years now and i still up to this day think it was the right move for a wing! Looks great man!
Really cool looking right now!❤
I remember Bucky Laseks VA STI had a similar looking wing, wasn’t carbon but it was the OEM white with the center wrapped black to match a wrapped black roof.
loving the content. Always a good laugh.
The reason for the weight of the CF not being significantly lighter than the OEM hood is that the CF is not “full carbon”. Meaning, that your hood still has a layers of other materials like fiber glass, then wrapped with a layer of carbon fiber around it then covered in gel coat. Basically, certain carbon fiber products or more for vanity and not being an actual functional part when it comes to weight reduction. The car came out really nice though overall, it looks awesome!
Sometimes it is even worse- Its a single layer of CF over an injection plastic part. Most of your cheap chinese parts are almost always just skinned.
I'm just ticked that my '02 WRX has an alu hood but my '13 STi has a steel hood that is noticeably heavy. So FHI went back to aluminum in the VA.
I got an Sti recently because of this series. Thanks for the inspiration!
I decided to join the show love from uganda Africa
This has got to be my favorite build in the whole world! It looks so good!
You had me when you first dropped your wing. I truly felt bad.....then you got me. Good Stuff!!
Been waiting for these STI episodes cause i need some inspiration 😂
Looks good!
I've been having that center carbon fiber wing like that on my STI for years..... It looks great!
i like how you guys don't spread something like this out into a bunch of videos like a lot of other youtubers do.
"I thought it was a funny looking shrub" had me rolling
looks great!
The beginning of this was so unhinged and I loved it. And painting the carbon seriously looks so good!
the outside scenery shots on the wet Road...
Magic.
MA-GIK!
Thank god you painted it!!!! I was already shouting here 😅😂
Thank you for painting the parts it looks soooo much better lol. Unpainted full carbon body panels always look like the cars been in a wreck and didn't finish getting repaired.
The two-time drop of the carbon fiber wing was sad and hilarious at the same time. As someone who has purchased tens of thousands of dollars on automotive parts, this is bound to happen to a person, and piss them the f*** off. Great content thanks for showing it.
Looks really good man
liking the build so far
I felt a sudden heaviness in my chest when the wing dropped, great job! haha

The intro killed me! Such a good episode. 😂
Finally some sti content !
Such a BEAUTIFUL car❤
Ben your STI looks perfect. I to love the OEM + looks. But I'm not going to lie I was yelling at my pc when u dropped the spoiler. You really had me there.
So happy you painted the parts, oem plus all day
rear spats make such a huge difference. had it on my CWP WRX also
Looks so sick now damn
When Ben said it was shipped by Pilot Freight I said "No Wonder" in my head. Delt with them before through work and I can their reputation is less than stellar.
Looks beautiful
looks nice. I loved my 2015 STi was white too. I foresee a March Composites CF roof replacement coming next!!!
I bet Linus from Linus Techtips is so happy he's not the only TH-camr dropping expensive parts, tech or otherwise 😂😂
The carbon accents instead of full carbon is the perfect balance 🔥
That's one clean sti.
The paint was done so perfectly
Yep, that looks good.
Thats some clean masking work by your paint guy
The STI look sick bro
Very smart very kewl paint carbon white looks so great 👍should have left the hood scoop carbon to match the hood vents
Nice body upgrade 🔥
Lmfao that opening my dude 😂
Pretty glad my Seibon carbon hood came to me without any issues.
Build Series Idea:
Bring back the SVT swapped Ford and return it back to its former comfort and glory. Put a new interior in it or put the old one back in if you still have it, A/C, B/T radio ect... . Be a fun weekend warrior and would influence the idea of taking a project you started and making it comfortable again.
Nice ride
Rollers at the end were amazing
Thank god great choice on painting the carbon pieces 🫶
That car looks fucking fantastic. It helps that everything is so clean too but the culmination of parts that work so well together is something that I could only dream of achieving on a vehicle.
Many users of City Racer, an online racing game that has been in service in Korea for 20 years, said they would like to see the Subaru WRX STI model released.
what did you guys use to remove the 3m double tape ?
my dream daily car..looks so good!
Nice vid!
Varis parts coming in?
Thorpe has reached that stage where you complete the build to your wildest dreams and then just start looking for any little odds and ends available for the platform. I'd love to see the gears and gasoline fleet show up to an hpde and autocross so we can see how all the different projects stack up against each other in different scenarios.

Beginning had me 😂
I tought Seibon hood required hood pin to prevent layers from splitting?
Had me 😮😮😮😮 at the beginning
Now did you Re weigh it after you added the paint?
Immaculate taste w the wing, i was hoping the whole episode you would wrap the end caps white😂
cant wait for him to sell it after all this great work!!
I really like the accent carbon. It was a good choice.
Now it needs some Subiespeed JDM Style Tail Lights. Just got some for my 17 white sti 👌
Lookin good, glad you didn’t go fully black. What’s the part number on the rear splash guards? /Spats?
Looks great, I hope that it's just the camera playing tricks on me when it looks like the hood isn't paint matched exactly to the rest of the car (or that it can come closer with a buff). But I like it, although I prefer stock
holy crap. My heart just shattered when you dropped the wing. HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ben’s taste in cars is what i call clean. Not too much not too oem.
This Subi is awesome!!! My Outback is quietly crying 😅
Would love to see the weights and length in metric units too. Thanks.
man gravity really loves that wing as much as you do
Do you have to worry about the hood struts adding a lot of tension to the carbon over time?
car amazing bro
wow Superb
Not gonna lie. I was dying with the intro of the carbon wing.
Thanks for scaring the hell out of me! Lol😅
The spoiler looks so so so so good paint matched
The acting is just chef's kiss.😂 Like watching DiCaprio and Bale in a new feature.
does anyone know the wheel specs he has? Fits so nicely!
