For anyone wondering, the 2019 came with the black BBS wheels, and around 2018/2019 refresh is when thy dropped the fog lights. I think the seats you mention would be upgraded in the Limited model from the base (I have the base), most of that though you could tell from looking at the car or driving it once unless you had to order it a year ahead or something
That little fuse cover under the trunk button can be switched out for a coin tray. It came in the JDM STis but they removed it from the USDM cars for some reason. It’s super easy to install.
For your coin/storage problem. you can get a replacement for the fuse cover on your left hand side under the vent. It's just a flat piece of plastic currently, but you can get a little drawer that pops out that can store coins etc. There's also a JDM arm rest extension that will add extra storage and height to the arm rest.
I never do any sort of drive thru wash, the touchless ones are a waste of $$ because they don't clean, and the ones with spinning brushes will destroy your paint. Invest in a pressure washer and a foam cannon. Bucket + wash mitt hand wash only. Also for the wheels if you wanna keep them looking clean look into boars hair detail brushes they'll reach the crevices and brake calipers for a full clean. Use a good wheel cleaner as well, I personally use Adam's wheel cleaner and it works wonders especially on stubborn brake dust from those dusty OEM pads.
Yea, I’m looking into a pressure washer don’t wanna do the touchless anymore. I’ll also look at the boars hair detail brushes and Adam’s. Needed this, thanks bro!
I really appreciate the breakdown. I suggest a short shifter I think the travel in the STI is a bit long. Also jack the axle up take the wheels off to clean makes it a lot easier. Adams is good, Sonax wheel cleaner plus also very strong.
Yea I need to confirm this STI doesn’t have a short shifter. But don’t you think taking the wheels off every wash is a lot? That seems like the best option tho because I rather that than moving the car over and over
@@TrapWRX Check out the kartboy and bushings, STi short shifter is long enough people don't notice it, definitely watch an install video before buying though
@@TrapWRX Maybe it is easier on my frs, I do it all the time. It makes a huge difference when you can clean behind the spokes and even get the fender liner/ suspension looking new if you really want. Coat the wheels with a little wax/protectant, makes the brake dust come off easier next time. Cheap and i do not think you will add time. 30 mins per axle just lift it safely.
On a full tank my meter has said 300 miles at the highest based on how I was driving but I’d say a full take last me about a week with my normal routines. Any extra driving prolly 5 days

Yes, I’m on this, getting it soon. Thank you

Nice, thank you! I will be looking into that. And I do have the height extension arm rest right now really like that on longer drives.

Noted! I’ll check this out! Thank you for the recommendations
Yea I’m gonna test doing it on the ground once at home then if that still doesn’t work well, I’ll be taking them off going forward.
Can’t even edit a license plate out lol
Nope I can’t 🙂↔️
On a completely full tank how many miles can you go with it? And how long do you last with those miles?

@@TrapWRX damn wtf yeah I get what you mean now she slurps gas frfr ☠️
Yea I know, It’s just so hard to drive slow
I get around 330 a tank on avg over the last several years (2019)
Is this all road or highway?
