Thanks to GTEASER for helping me out with getting the lip! So it's official, Italy has a USDM lip bahahaha!

I am kind of glad my tax return took a long time to get back to me. I have been watching this thread closely. I am stationed in Italy and I would hate to go through what some of you guys went through. Granted shipping is to a US zip code but still. As a paying customer you do expect to get your product in a timely manner. If not, communications is an important factor of not irritating your customer base. I got it some guys got their stuff in a timely manner. I do believe Scott is a stand up guy. However, I would like to see things made right. I would also like to see orders ship out promptly. With that, I believe my confidence in purchasing from Scott would go up.

listen here Meow, maybe R&D the LWCP Meow and maybe pistons meow!

that's why I pay someone to do my dirty work bahahahaha!

I also got the official price from my dealership - the full 2010 headlamp unit incl. HID's + auto-levelling unit is Euro 1101,73 incl. italian VAT.

 

And that's PER PIECE (right or left side) => Full swap is Euro 2203,46 = approx. USD 2860,-

 

wow!

For the 5th gen there are two 'flavors' of the tS.

The original 2009/10 special tS limited run was a 2.5GT based car.

Then nothing for 2+ years.

Now, SoJ has brought the tS back as an limited run of the 2.5i base.

 

Both look great. Except for the funny mini-quad exhaust.

Ok, sometimes I actually like those quad-tips.

 

bahahaha I don't. I want to see this project develop. I am interested to see how interchangeable the suspension set up is going to be. I was looking at the control arms and the rest of the suspension set up and it looks like the conversion is going to take some serious cash. I am a bit jealous because I don't have that kind of dough to even do a suspension set up like that.

I will be purchasing those parts as well. That's what I want the most. And what I will be purchasing before the exterior parts.

 

I wish you the best of luck in those parts. You must have some serious dough to buy the "complete" suspension set up with all the STI markings on them.

If the engine and what not was not the exact same specs as the TS, then I would'nt. I will soon have the rest of the STi parts for the TS Replica.

 

true, but their are a lot more parts other than the exterior. the whole suspension setup is tuned by STi.

hopefully no abuse from sti owners but I would love to rock a sti badge personaly on my 3.6R. nice ride

 

I was going to do the same thing, then remembered back in my old school days. It's like someone with an Integra GS putting on the Type R stickers and badge knowing full well it's not a Type R. I just have mixed feelings about it. But whatever makes you happy I guess.

I've got too many projects so letting this one go.

 

Government furlough starts next month; 20% reduction in pay for the next six months.

 

Yeah that whole sequestration sucks ass

I contacted a German dealer directly...they couldn't give me an exact price because the first 2013 facelifts will arrive on their lot around may/june, so they don't have any VIN number to choose the right version from....and I don't have one either obviously.

The approximate price idea they gave me was Euro 900,- incl. VAT (full headlight incl. HID unit)....and that's PER PIECE => full swap is Euro 1800,- :eek:

 

My italian dealership didn't yet react...the guy from the spare parts department is away for some tech lessons...."patience my young padawan"

 

mein got! Euro 1800 BLAH!

He's cool like that (lol). I've seen a USDM-spec trend in Japan.

 

Toyota, Honda and Mazda guys seem to do the same thing.

A whole scene 'loves' USDM bumpers, orange reflectors, US license plates.

The closer to USDM spec or 'ghetto-fabulous', the better.

 

Reminds me of how chrome tailights for many cars are advertized as 'Euro-look' (no clue how?) in the US and 'Lexus/Altezza-look' in Europe. With Lexus traditionally recognized as an exotic US brand (*cough* rebaged needless mark-up Toyota *cough*) hence the Altezza reference (Toyota Altezza was the JDM name for the 1st-gen Lexus IS as sold in Japan). I guess they sell better this way, sounding exotic on both sides of the pond for vastly different reasons.

 

yeah it's not uncommon to see JDM change out with USDM stuff. we both like each others stuff and switch out. It's the whole the grass looks greener on the other side!

Please refer to my post #309.

 

were you able to find the price on them?

ok so if I understand this correctly 2011 wrx struts will fit in a 5th gen legacy? The Koni rears are plug and play? while the fronts will need the 2011 donor struts in order for my setup to be complete?

if anyone has any OEM shocks they want to give up for dirt cheap so I can do a project would be awesome! Thanks!

Blizzard I am thinking about saying eff it and getting KW's. The Bilsteins are a great value. However, I kind of like the idea of being able to adjust the dampening when I decide I want to tighten up the suspension. In Italy they have cobblestone roads and even on the OEM shocks it sucks. I kind of like the idea of being able to adjust the ride height as well.

I wouldn't bother. I'd try retrofitting 08+ WRX Koni Yellows before doing that.

 

you think that would work? I know I read that the KW3's fit the 08 WRX's. I just need to use my stock top hats right?

has anyone looked into the KYB Excel G struts? It looks like a decent in between till the Bilsteins get produced. It's supposed to be 15% stiffer than the OEM and good to go for lowering springs. It's a little bit better than the OEM struts but for the price it's really cheap till the Bilsteins come in. Here is the link: http://www.scoobytuner.com/products/?vApplicationID=211&sfID1=8&sfID2=60&sfID3=478

OK, good. In fact I didn't say "don't do it" I just wanted to suggest to check all details before going ahead and making changes that would later have put You in trouble.

If You want I can check with my dealership how much a full lamp + HID's would cost.

 

yes please do!

I now found out that in Germany they already sell the 2013 facelift WITH HID's.

Thanks to Brainchild Customs we know the 2013's are a direct swap to 2010's, therefore You have 2 more options to choose

 

yay! now I have to just find them!

Sure, European laws apply to people living here...in fact the US laws are much less stringent regarding tuning than they are here.

 

13LGT actually IS in Italy (serving the US Military), that's why I pointed out what our laws over here are like.

 

I wouldn't be so sure about the fact that a military "can get away with things like that" - I'm an ex-AF officer - as long as he's here he will probably have to stick to a certain amount of local laws, too.

 

In the end it's obviously up to everybody to check for himself what he can/wants to do, gathering the necessary information BEFORE going ahead with modifications.

 

the only laws I actually have to follow are the inspection regulations. When it comes to modification of my vehicle i.e tuning, I do not have to follow Italian laws. In the end, majority of us leave this duty station and return home stateside. It's the same thing with window tinting. I do not have to follow Italian tinting laws. I can have my vehicle tinted to USDM Specs and I "WILL NOT" get in trouble with the local Italian laws.

Because if he does only change the lamp+HID unit the car becomes "illegal road condition" all around Europe, means:

 

- You lose insurance coverage, in case You are involved in an accident You will be held responsible privately and pay all damage (Yours if You didn't cause the accident, Yours + third party if instead You did, even partially)

 

- in a police control they will impound the vehicle, You go home by foot/train and then have 30 days to re-condition the car and re-pass official technical inspection

 

- same for a revision (every 3 years), You don't pass and have 30 days to re-present Your car in legal road condition

 

Not really a joke to play around with imho...just saying.

 

I also fall under the SOFA agreement so as I have to follow European laws I also have exemptions. I.E what you hve to follow for European spec, i do not have to follow
