Honestly I would recommend performance first cause it’ll just make the driving experience better and make you enjoy the car more which the most important part in my opinion
@@Mk7Albert Depends on the speed. These cars top out at 64mph in second gear so you could technically do a 5-2 downshift at highway speed and still be OK.
Chris I personally blame you for the reason I’m broke lol Oh btw I’m the guy who had his frs totaled last month…I bought another one and this one is sooo much better thank God 🙏🏻 I’ll be submitting it sometime so hopefully you can rate it. Love the vids bro!
Chris, your frs air out is so freakin sick. Oh can you do a full review on kais frs? His ride is sick as hell and I wanna know the power he’s putting down.
Those cars look dope! You all should be pleased with yourselves! :) In terms of performance/exterior, you just need to decide what your long term goals for the car is, or rather how if fits into your collection. E.G is it to be a stylish daily driver, or a weekend canyon toy, or a stanced out cruiser to turn heads (the FRS is the latter so that could be ruled out). So big wings increase fuel consumption and track brakes can squeak and be dangerous when cold, so probably avoid them on a daily, but great for track cars. Which ever way you go, I look forward to seeing what you do for it. My opinion on the rear lights is the red will blend into the paintwork while the smoked ones will pop nicely, and match the black surrounds of aftermarket front headlights, and the black wheels, but it’s not my car! :)
i'm just like you, i have my warranty (which you kinda pay for) and i don't plan on ruining it. but exterior mods help so much for these wrx's; i'm looking into getting some lowering springs and the roof wrapped black as well. i'll forever be a subie and bmw fanboy, they're just both the ideal balance of clean aesthetics and performance; the perfect drivers car.
I can't wait to see how you're going to build your WRX. my opinion on the wing I personally don't like the big "wangs". I personally think the only wing that flows well with these cars is the STI wings. just my opinion tho lol. good content bro 👍🏽
Just ordered my WRX in white. Dont plan on doing much to mine for a while (i dont make that kind of money). Def wanna get a tint and new head and tail lights. I was stuck between a gold/bronze wheel setup or black, but after seeing that clean ass white on black, for sure going black now. Gonna stick to exterior mods only probably. Pretty excited for my first somewhat fast car. Ive been driving a base 2008 mazda 3 forever.
It's hard to say, normally I would say performance but you got factory warranty. I would go looks and baby mods for gains, unless u got lots of $ cause if not done wright these engines go boom. I'm sure you tube will say performance all the way but there not paying for it, there just watching.
Your point on "if not done right boom" is one of the most introspective and level headed comments I've heard. People think to just mod away. If you don't do it right, right parts, right tuner, right roll of the dice, $$$$$$$$ 🔥 🔥 🔥
I've argued with so many npcs online trying to pretend these motors don't have their share of flaws and limitations if you want power and performance from them. People will tell you about their 250k sti or wrx, till the cows come home, they're arguments couldn't be easily recreated irl. It's ego, shame, and insecurity that makes people defend these slow fragile cars.
Spun bearing at 28k and thets with proper maintence and very little aggressive driving, even after warranty goes, you may not have long to wait until thing breaks.
As someone that has owned 2 FA wrx's, my opinion is stick to cosmetics only, maybe some light performance mods. Chasing big power is not worth it in these.
If you’re getting an exhaust, go Tomei 🤌🏼💥 seriously you will not be disappointed! My wrx sounds insane with it along with the grimmspeed catted downpipe
A rally inspired car that wouldn't be in production now, had it never rally crossed, with high ride height, to turn it into a car that will bottom out everywhere, wtf is the point of that?
I always go for safety first then performance second. Safety meaning all the chassis and suspension mods to make sure your car is planted then the engine will be next. Looks always comes last. What’s all the “look fast” mods for if your car is slow AF 🤷🏻♂️ IMHO👍Nice rides tho 🙌✌️
@@chris_borges with these cars, due to likelihood of motor having a bad day, certainly don't want warranty gone but w/o upgrading and taking that risk, stock, these suck.
Performance Mods 💯
💣 🤯
stepbro gets stuck in my bucket seat😍
tight fit 🤪
@@chris_borges yo
I know this is an old video but no wing over big wing ! Less is more
Can’t wait to see the progress on this wrx build!🔥
bro your channel is the only one that makes me rewatch your videos
"...have fun but drive safe." 💯
Always!
Honestly I would recommend performance first cause it’ll just make the driving experience better and make you enjoy the car more which the most important part in my opinion
stage 2 with a catless downpipe is the move
“I downshifted from 5th to 2nd” holy fuck😂😂😂

isnt this known as the money shift? lmao

Ngl Aquinobound has one of my favorite wrx builds on TH-cam it’s so simple and clean 🤩
Doing performance would be a good choice, but exterior would be good too, every time I get to ride in my cousins Sti it makes me want to get one.

what exhaust is that? sounds a bit like an axel back??? (the silver one)
New drop is here worldwide! 🌎🏁

Appreciate you guys in advance. ❤️
flex is the way to go never looked back 💯💯
It’s true.. this dit loves flex. The fa20 reacts better to ethanol than the ej motors
I regretted goin' exterior first, performance is pretty expensive but so is exterior depending on your taste.
That White WRX is modded perfect and not to extreme. Well done to the owner, he has good taste.
Chris Borges WRX is going to sound clean look clean just like the FRS
I’m so glad I found this channel I’m a new subscriber can’t wait to see you finish your wrx 🙌🏻
Rally armor mudflaps, access port, intake, bpv, it’s gounna be a sick build I feel it ! 🔥
Chris, your frs air out is so freakin sick. Oh can you do a full review on kais frs? His ride is sick as hell and I wanna know the power he’s putting down.
Definitely!

Go rainguards, carbon fiber door handles and mirrors you belive how much better it will look .
Cant wait for you to get some wrx merch ;)

You don't have to go crazy man just get grimmspeed intake for cool noises and get an e30 tune. It's night and day.
just copped some merch,keep up the grind bro
much love bro 👊🏻
Exterior of the cars under warranty. That’s what I’m doing. Once warranty is up accessport is going in

the back lights are lit what’s the name of them?
Every upload from you makes my day so much better!

1st mod for the wrx should be a tomei exhaust💯
I was on a hurry checking out on the merch to watch this video😂 Haiiiii dad❤️
Hahaha real one bro! ❤️
sickkk vid bro !!
Dude congrats on 50k!! Love your channel man. When you post my day gets better fr. Keep grinding bro
Means a lot bro ❤️
Rather have the big oem wing on the WRX, least similar to what Throtl did to it on their previous WRX giveaway
Tail lights, head lights and a front lip bro👌loving the content. Can't wait to see where you take this build
ayyy appreciate it man!
Waiting on my STI to arrive and have already accepted the warranty is gone and I am doing performance mods
Great content I subbed‼️‼️
DEYMMM can't wait to see the progress mods on your wrx🔥
thank you man stay tuned!!
perfect fitment - but ignore the bracket holding my front bumper on lol. Looks like he might need one for the rear soon.
Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you guys. Especially during this time. Props. Great work.
Exterior first then performance imo but ur car and I’ll be here to watch whichever
Damn that BRZ might not be fast but it looks great !
I would do exterior plus exhaust so you don't void stuff and if you dump money into the motor and blow it you won't have any left for the exterior ;)
Good thinking 👊🏻
I’ve been looking at that white wrx’s strafe design diffuser but what fin design did he get?
ayo saw you in the intro of throtl’s vid. big steps bro.
Race my boy cameronhill type r. I wanna see that race .
Performance mods is where it’s at
On the white car who makes those white lower rear pieces?
I love the wing on the silver sti.Can you tell me how to find one?
It's hard to say, normally I would say performance but you got factory warranty. I would go looks and baby mods for gains, unless u got lots of $ cause if not done wright these engines go boom. I'm sure you tube will say performance all the way but there not paying for it, there just watching.

What’s the difference between a WRX vs WRX STI versions
“Static” I haven’t heard that in a long ass time
Definitely need an exhaust for the first mod it completely changes the experience
Definitely 👀
I just got a remark and it 100% changes the entire experience
WRX looks so good without any wing or lip! I want to remove my factory lip after seeing that!
clean forsure 🔥
I'm about to do the same with my Hawkeye, big wing with no bodykit. It gives it a "what could be under the hood" / "Touge" look 😂
Looks vs performance? You are kidding, right? Performance all frigging day!!!!
I’ve see both of y’all around town
What kind of wheels are those I didn’t hear in the video?
The wing doesn’t look good on a wrx, only the sti wing and duck bill wings look good honestly
Yeah I'm just doing exterior first as well don't want to void the warranty just yet lol
Spun bearing at 28k and thets with proper maintence and very little aggressive driving, even after warranty goes, you may not have long to wait until thing breaks.
I have seeing the gray subí in Chula
Just start with a downpipe and rock that stage 2 ots map until you decide to get a tune
I can’t pick between the trims wrx base or other models ?
As someone that has owned 2 FA wrx's, my opinion is stick to cosmetics only, maybe some light performance mods. Chasing big power is not worth it in these.
I heard 😰
Someone with a brain. Rare to see.
What color wrap is that green brz have ?
I thought CA was strict AF? Or is it by county?
What size and brand rims are they please mate?🇦🇺🤙🏼
Performance!!!!
If you’re getting an exhaust, go Tomei 🤌🏼💥 seriously you will not be disappointed! My wrx sounds insane with it along with the grimmspeed catted downpipe
Oooo I bet it sounds so dope!
did the silver wrx get a pro tune or e-tune?
Ayeeee Lance’s girlfriend is good friends with Derpy FRS. Chris borges x illuminate collab coming soon 👀
Big wing all day
Track car can always be a show car but a show car cant always be a track car👀 think about it👀👀
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Until motor has a lot of beans in its diet.
What spoiler was that on the gray wrx?
lowkey do exterior so that you can enjoy the performance as is for a while
But that’s my answer to your question homie ! You already got a nice looking frs
What kind of wheels for the white wrx?
I would go performance, you have a beautiful 86, now you gotta make a fast build and add some cosmetics here and there on the way :)
🇵🇭 love your videos man🤙🏼 pinoy boys!
much love bro!!
You can do performance and just get rims and suspension just so it can look nice
Na bro he’s still got that warranty
I love the big wing 👍👍👍👍👍👍
🔥🔥🔥
I have basically that same performance setup, you definitely want to go performance mods. >:)
Love to see it 💯💯
🤝
Where can I get the grey card wheels 🛞
Yours is a BRZ?
do exterior and exhaust mods that dont require a tune and keep that warranty so u can send it with no fear
💯💯💯💯
I heard people blowing the motor when the car is completely stock too 😂
dig the NT03's
bro what headlights are those i need them
Definitely lowering the car would be something you need to do before other mods.
True!
A rally inspired car that wouldn't be in production now, had it never rally crossed, with high ride height, to turn it into a car that will bottom out everywhere, wtf is the point of that?

AOS for sure first!
Tail lights would be dope can wait for what you do to your wrx
thanks man!
Been here since 10k
🙏🏻❤️
It would be awesome if you added headers, exhaust and a tune for your first mod
Damnnnn bye bye warranty 🤪
