It's so refreshing to see an over fender kit that doesn't use visible rivets. This is sleek and blends into the stock body more, I like it a lot!
Love the look of the kit but 1100 after tax is a bit steep for what it is, if it was priced more around 750 it would be a bit more reasonable.
right 1100 for painted plastic and adhesive. ridiculous pricing by subispeed as usual.
which color is 1100 after tax? the one i looked at was only $506
@@junkyardfox2725 they just changed it. Has been $1000 for the longest time, just copped for $460
@@MrBoomboom24 it’s still $1000 unless you get it unpainted. They also don’t have all colors either. They’re missing the grey color.
@@DoCKsDLM i bought the silver paint matched for $460 when I posted that. They must've changed it back.
I love how this kit looks. I want one now. Could we see a video on how you add the S209 rear bumper vents get installed. Thanks for the great content.
You should get one it’s worth every single penny! Make sure to get the vents with it to for the bumper! It really completed it for me
I just wish the pre-face lift came in paint matching options too. Pure red please if you ever decide to make a run of it :D
Wish it was available in magnetite gray metallic for the 20-21 models

What’s the offset to get the rim flush with the kit?
Car looks pretty good. But would look mad on 20"s. ideal would be 19 inch. 18s seem to small.
You’re the second to talk me about my wheel size! Looks like I’m going to have to take this into consideration 🤣
Would you sell just the front piece for the 17' bumper only ? You guys din't have this option before :/
Man those bronze wheels look so good on that STI. A great video guys. Subies forever.
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Sooo fresh!!
Coming back and rewatching this knowing Kevin isn’t there anymore makes my heart hurt.. #Justice4Kev
have the same wheels in hyper gold and namless turbo back exhaust which sounds amazing
Tires are pretty sick lookin
It does look good... but I have seen many video about this kits of people complaining that they don't always fit so well; which makes me hesitant to get get it.
Why no 15-17 paint match option? Surely there are a few of those cars left. lol
Do the facelift conversion
Agreed.
🤣 we're a rare breed
the non-ra blocks almost all blew up already
What size tires your buddy have
looks pretty nice. how's the compatibility with various front lips?
Oem sti lip is the only one that really works because of the sides of the lip that have that arch I’m sure there is others that don’t have that arch that will work but the kit was made for oem
Missed Kevin. Cool to see him again.
How well is the 3m sticking, I had spoiler with 3m on and after going to a touchless car wash it came right off? Dont want to hand wash all the time can you just rivet them in?
How did you attach the 2 front canard pieces? It looks like they need to be screwed in but they didn’t come with any screws.
My kit is missing the adhesive promoter, are you guys able to send one if I send an email?
I know its a small sample size but id like a set in time for my series.gray STI figure 1k units, maybe a batch of 5-10 would be fair to sell
Can you get these flares in black with a golf ball dimple texture?
Do you still have the flares on the car? Any long term issues you faced? Thanks!
They have been holding up great, even through Iowa winter
Damn….I clicked so fast thinking the thumbnail said $209 fender flares. SMH
is it possible to just get the front pieces for the bumper for the 2015-2017 models
They have them on the website. They even linked them in the description
@@misael1396 the kit yes i just need the bumper part
A whole grand for a color matched kit to 3M tape it... that's absolutely crazy. Would rather get a downpipe for that price.
Dónde viste le precio?
Anyone here miss when Kevin was yolked?
Can we please get a kit of just the rears please please please
And does it bug anybody that the kit doesn’t cover all the way to the base of the wheel wells?
love to see these types of products but I gotta say the amount of dirt grime and debris that'll collect in those grooves will be insane!
Had it for a while nothing so far! And it’s easy to remove dirt and leaves that catch on it from here and there easily with just a water hose
will this go on a 2016 Subaru Impreza? 🙃
Are the fog lights oem? Or do you guys have that at your website? I'm looking for probably exactly that lol
My buddy wants to sell his WRX after 6 months for something with more power bc he’s afraid to upgrade parts and get it tuned. How do I stop him yall🤣
Foster secretly trying to hide the fact that he didn’t know Kevin was about to get fired….
Looks better without that last piece on the back
Zero dislikes, as it should be
TH-cam took that option away dude.
How do they hold up in car washes
Nah.
I see lots of 15 + suburu parts do you have 13 parts?
Yes we now support the 08-14 platform as well! www.subispeed.com/scp/subaru-wrx/08-14-wrx
Looks great! Love the Cosmis wheels!
I make the decals that are in the emblem sections, cool to see them on your channel!
Hey man the emblems in the flares look away do you have a site to get them?
I’m running 20 mm spacers, 18x9.5 245/40r/18 on stock height. Am i gonna rub at all?
I don’t think so
what wheels are those?
Comis XT-006R
Reps
what are your friend's wheel specs?
I'm guessing the cosmis is the 18x9 +30 size?
Yes you are correct
@@Daniel-qf8sd 265 35?
And any spacers or rubbing? Thanks for answering for the peeps
@@NellysaintsSROP I commented on some other about wheel specs! No spacers just straight up wheels
255/35/18
18x9 x30
@@NellysaintsSROP yes I did have some rubbing… had to roll my fenders and it still does rub a bit because of how meaty the tires are… I would highly advice getting rear adjustable control arms… that’s what I’ll be doing probably get some from subispeed
Will an aftermarket WRX badge still fit in the badge slot for these??
Do these come with the STI badge already?
They do not! A local Subaru enthusiast i met online makes them his @ is because_heritage he makes multiple in different colors! Just for 20 bucks!
Where did you guys get the sti inserts for the fender badges
is his car lowered? and whats his wheel specs?
I am lowered on fortune autos my wheels specs are 18x9 +30 I’m running federal rs-r 255/35/18… I did have a bit of rubbing in the back though… so I had to roll the back and I still rubbed a bit so I ended up raising my car… I feel like I’m the long run I’ll be buying rear control arms to camber the back just slightly to avoid the slight rub
@@Daniel-qf8sd Did you need spacers in the front?
please do one in Cool Gray Khaki and id buy
Can you guys respond to my E-mails?
I ordered a set of wheels and only got 1 wheel. On your website it said that 4 were on stock. Respond to my E-mails.
sorry for the delay Jose, we will get back to you ASAP. I just reached out to customer service on your behalf
@@SubiSpeed thanks, please call me back. I left a voicemail too.
Will it adhere to a car that's ceramic coated?
we need an S4 kit for us WRX owners
Hey guys looks sick... what's the colour of those rims.
hyper bronze
Do you have wheel spacers on the car? And what size?
no spacers!
What up Kevin
Is that a custom side badge emblem or does one come with the kit
The raised badge piece come with the kit, the STI emblem stickers are sold separate
Would this fit the 22 WRX. Sharp as hell
With some bodywork they could be used but it would not be a direct fit
Them rims! I want!
Nobody ever has P8Y 😩
HI KEVIN !!!
Hello!!!!
Can’t wait to get mine🔥🔥
Need this flares
I actually thought you had to drill into the car. I’m glad that all I have to do is add 3M Tape.
ƤＲＯ𝓂Ｏ𝕤ᗰ
Great video as always 👍 would like to see 15 wrx stuff tho
So happy with my kit. Simple install - 1 year still going strong!
I think the only problem I have with the kit is the fact that you can't really increase stance much due to stock fenders still being there and the wheels end up liking recessed.
Niklas Budrovcan what offset are you running ? I would think these flares look perfect with 35-40 offset.
@@lucian7182I don't have the set. But just based on pictures and videos I saw you can't have them flush with wheels really because otherwise you'll end up driving on the fenders due to the mot being and extra space. You're basically running double fenders
@@flatmotion1 you would be correct. Nothing wrong with the car in the video but to run a wider wheel and tired setup to be flush and drive able, you'll need to radius the fender to allow the wheel to travel when the suspension articulates. Nothing out of the ordinary for the stanced car dudes.
Ya ever realized that all this shit is 3M tape lol
Like my WRX has at least 100lbs of tape. 💀
I’ve seen the damage these things do after they’re uninstalled, no thanks
I’m not sure why you would want to unintstall them. The video I saw where the guy had damaged his car had removed these and put them back on a few different times. There’s no reason these should damage a car if applied properly and carefully and removed correctly.
@@lucian7182 correct I agree with you… these guys put them on for me and they are experienced.. but if you follow along with the video you should have no damages to your paint.. be aware that if you do ever decide to take these off the best way to remove them is to heat them up very well and then buy some goo gone… I am aware of the TH-camr you are talking about that had his DGM wrx damaged after he took them off… again though Lucian is right… don’t know why you would want to take these off
@@Daniel-qf8sd one of the reasons he took them off is because his fenders and flares wouldn't allow the suspension to articulate with a fitted or flush wheel and tired. Ideally you would want to radius the fender to allow a wider wheel to travel up inside the fender when the suspension travels
This foo on reps
Cosmis wheels aren’t reps?
@@shanemurphy5352 they’re REPS , just as real as santa claus.
@@_Simpaii nothing wrong with them then. They’re clean
@@shanemurphy5352 still reps tho
@@_Simpaii eh
so dumb.. just stick on. you cant lower your car and have a wider offset. Gatta pick one. Lower, or wider. Looks like stock height and wider is the only way. Still not worth it.
Headlights are junk don't buy!
Fitment guide? I’m just worried about rubbing when I do get it 🥲
18x9 +30 running on federal rs-r
Running on fortune auto 500s
Had to roll the rear fender as I did run into some rubbing.. so I resided the car up more for this kit…
I would advice some rear control arms to adjust it slightly other wise cut the metal
255/35/18 I probably will get a taller tire next time
If you want to run a wheel and tire setup that's flush AND drivable, you are going to have a lot more work done to the car than presented in the video
@@Daniel-qf8sd I wonder how a 18 x9.5 + 27 would look on this
