the front lip looks wavy cause i have water on the lens

Then i waxed and De-badged the back except for the STI logo

Getting ready to de-badge 


De-badging complete 


Then i got my tint done. 15% in the back

Before:


During:


After:


I then order these things. Cusco Catch can and Hella horns 



And this 



Then I ordered a Tomei Equal length header. Found out that i had about a half an inch exhaust leak where the up-pipe connects to the header and also had a leak at the middle of the header

And then this happened cause i didnt have enough clips put in the front fender connecting to the front lip


Still needs to put this on. I put more clips in and bolted it in a couple places

Got bored one day at work and made a little video. Still needs to make a new video with the new header on but here is my old setup.

2012 Impreza STI - YouTube

Then I ordered a grimmspeed y-pipe intercooler piping kit (Blue) and Tomei turbo inlet pipe. Still waiting for my Tomei type-s fuel regulator to come in..

And also got my new side skirts for Alain at Fraal.ca (check them out! Amazing service and can get you just about everything)

Then this showed up 4 days early lol 




Getting ready to install 


Also got my Perrin Cozy put on 


And this was the garbage OBX header that came off. Looks like crap 


And this was the final product  hard to get a decent pic while under the car 


I'm very happy with the final product  sounds cleaner in my opinion

Then I ordered these little things lol


I installed my Cusco catch can and my Password JDM quick release fasteners. 

The catch can was a simple install. Bolt bracket, bolt can to bracket and run the blowback line. 

The blowback line was a bit too long so I cut off the extra and put it on the overflow nipple.

Here is the results 




The JDM fasteners was pretty easy too. Jack the car up took the 2 front tires off, drilled holes and bolted them on.

Here are the results for this

Marking the holes


Drilling the holes 


Bolting them on


Installed 



Then I got my mounting bracket and wiring harness 


Also my girlfriend bought a new car after she flipped her car. Nothing to fancy but she likes it lol and i like it so its all good.

this is her car that she flipped 



and this is the one we got 




Some photos when i was debadging 







Then I installed my Hella horns. That bracket and harness made everything so much easier

These are the horns on the bracket 


And the Hella horn next to a stock horn


Horns installed 



Also installed my side skirts that day

jacked up!



Old ones next to New ones 


The line of bolts lol

And last weekend i put on my Tomei inlet pipe
