i like the simplicity.

kenchan · 03-01-2016, 01:18 PM

hey, i got my tracking for the STI lip today.

hope to install it sunday.

btw, i really like the throttle modes on the car.. like this am i was wearing my foot numbing snow boots so [I] was perfect, with my regular driving shoes [S] mode is real nice. haven't really played with [S+] as im still breaking in the car.

kenchan · 03-02-2016, 09:32 AM

yep, those things are handy especially while shopping at the mall where u dont have shopping carts to place ur infant carrier.

my splitter should be in my hands by tomorrow.

kenchan · 03-03-2016, 01:42 PM

you guys ever try the aha app on ur HU? i tried it this am for the first time..wow, sounds like crap.

it almost sounds like the HU is using lower resolution like 64kbps? vs me streaming through my home component system.

not sure... at least i can hear some jpop i guess.

pandora (im on pandora-one 192kbps) sounds so much nicer.

i didn't even know aha's existence until recently..

wife's waiting for the fedex guy for me. lip should be in shortly.

kenchan · 03-03-2016, 06:02 PM

Got my STI lip... will install over the weekend.

btw, i learned the Starlink voice commands a little more and been using it on a daily basis... it's not bad!

kenchan · 03-04-2016, 08:48 AM

she's coming out of hibernation on monday and an alignment next week.

ill take better snaps... but for now..

as expected, perfect fitment. i luv the look.

kenchan · 03-06-2016, 12:15 PM

Here is a side shot.. besides running the factory STI wheels, this is the final shape of my STI. oh yah, got my title in the mail yesterday.

tonythetiger · 03-06-2016, 07:03 PM

looks great! lots of screws and managed to drill into my bumper

kenchan · 03-07-2016, 11:04 AM

nice job.

that grill makes the front end cleaner.

on the splitter, while i followed the instructions to use small to large drill bits, it occurred to me AFTER doing the work dat i had a 3/8 forstner bit.

would've gone so much faster. lol

did u actually tape up the template per instruction? i just lined up the template and marked using an awl.

tonythetiger · 03-09-2016, 09:46 AM

thanks man! super easy to install.

I actually did put tape on the template, i wasnt too sure how the fitment was going to be, so it took a long time but well worth it.
