    I really like the direction you’ve taken this thing: simple, clean, and QUALITY. Its really, really easy to overdo a VA chassis in todays world, this one is a perfect fun daily driver/street car. The only thing I would have done differently is kept the wing stiffies, but I get that in an OEM+ scenario, maybe they don’t look as good as just a stock wing. Either way, its turning out great!

But still my plan is to put fortune auto and some reliability mods/cosmetic and fun mods. So glad to see the subaru sti love! Looking great man i would kill for those parts lol, great work
