YEAR 8: The best is yet to come.

YEAR 8.

I’d like to present to you my teenage dream vision of my STI. If 18-year-old me could see it today, I’d definitely be in complete awe at what was put together the last few months we’ve been working on the STI. As @stickydiljoe would say, “PASSION FIRST, THE REST WILL FOLLOW”.

The STI is proudly wearing an authentic ZERO/SPORTS body kit. Paired up with a Voltex Type 2 GT Wing and Do-Luck CF trunk. For the rear end, I mated up a SYMS RACING rear diffuser and the exhaust is a S202 Titanium exhaust. I also sourced a set of VARIS CF B pillar and the icing on the cake is a brand-new set of OEM Subaru rain guards!

On the engine bay side, we have a Cusco titanium strut bar, HKS oil caps, ARC alternator panel, Eifel signed intake snorkel by President of Prova, Toshihiro Yoshida, and a set of Eifel hood struts. The engine was rebuilt with a forged piston in 2025 by the team at @metroperformanceofsocal.

For the interior, I decided to keep it simple. A ZERO/SPORTS CF gauge pod was paired together with the STI GENOME gauges, and a S204 airbag trim.

This was a glass out respray in OEM Satin White Pearl painted by the team at @AutobodySanchez. Every single rubber and trim was bought brand new and or refinished. We also went with a brand-new set of 2005 STI tail lights and brand new in box Euro STI headlights. The car was paint corrected and ceramic coated by Scott at @S_WorksDetailing.

I’d like to say thank you to my sponsor @OEMPLUSCOLLECTIVE (me) for getting the car to this point. It’s been 8 years of buying, selling, and storing parts all over the place but we finally did it!

I’m still in shock that my HS dreams have come true for the STI. Not a lot of people get to say they own their dream car, but to also build it to the teenage dream spec is PEAK goals.

Now it’s time to enjoy the car…

Thanks
