I found the paint on those side panels to be really weak in general. I put a vinyl overlay on my side panel and when i pulled it off the paint came loose and started pulling away as i pulled the vinyl off to replace it. Luckily it didnt come completely off but a clear indication that its not painted very well.
Great video! Lots of good tips and lessons learned. Can you link the emblems you bought? I see multiple black ones on their site but not sure which you chose and I'd like to choose the same ones because it's hard to decide between them without good pics/videos, which this video solves :)

Thanks m8, I’m installing a widebody and needed to take them off to get a straight cut on my fender. Much help in getting those off.
No problem. Hope the tips help you out!
I like the black label with the red better. It looks almost as nice as the original silver one.
It ties in with the back on white contrast.
This was very helpful. I was about to install mine. But, glad that I watched this first. Thank you
Thanks Mark, learn from my mistakes! Good luck with the install.

Yeah. It didn't take too much heat to remove paint.
pop off the first few clips on the side skirt first and youll have a much easier time removing the lower pop clips on that piece
I left the car sit in the sun the whole morning and that was good enough to lift it off with my fingers.
That’s a super handy tip!

@@OmniGarage Wait that can't be them. In the the video they have red lettering. In your link it's all black!
Whoops. Here’s the right ones: www.subispeed.com/sti-hyperblue-edition-black-oem-fender-emblems-2015-sti
@@OmniGarage Perfect, thank you!
I did the exact same and on the same side on my 2020 white Sti.
Can you share the part number for that fender /skirt part from Subaru?
Thank you 🙏
I think these only now come unpainted.
Where did you order yours in white?
Thank you
Got it from the Subaru dealership. It came painted.
im trying to buy me one thats black and blue but idk if i should go with glossy black or mat black is that glossy or mat on yours bro
This is glossy black. I’m biased on this, but I like the look!
to swap out the pannel, will i need to remove the mudflaps?
No need to remove the mudflaps to remove this panel.
Omni Garage really? i was plannign to grt the seibon one but i thought i have to remove my mudflaps becuase its screwed into it. THANK YOU!
No problem, good luck!
