you should do your side badges in black, and ditch the chrome ring on the headlight.

Amazing shot! Everytime I can even see the slightest angle of your front bumper I get super jealous you don't have that hideous license plate mount. Then I refocus my jealousy on the paint haha!

Best shot so far best displaying this Killer Paint job! Keep working on that lighting! It's the only way you can convey this color in a pic.

Looks great man. I'm actually running the exact gauge setup you are, I think the prosports are alright only thing that somewhat annoys me is the steppers are loud. You planning on keeping yours or going defi?

Boost gauge already crapped out and the oil pressure gauge is noisy as hell. When I do my new dash setup...I'll be switching to Defi or AEM.

Did you mount the boost sending unit in the car or engine compartment? I mounted mine under the dash hopefully it will last longer.

Engine compartment. I don't think it would have mattered though. They are just cheap.

I'll probably end up upgrading later on as well. I don't see why it's so hard for gauge manufacturers to add the peak warning/recall feature, I really like that about the prosports.

People have been asking for more interior shots so here are two quick ones. The second seat is almost done at JPM Coachworks!! Can't wait to get that in.

Could you take a close up of your V1 mount? Is it a DIY?

It is the Blendmount. You can get it on Amazon.

I will when there is not a baby seat behind the passenger. Track day rules state that you have to have the same restraint or greater for the passenger as you do the driver.

Hey Rob,

Curious man, does the GTSpec steering wheel obstruct your vision of the gauges in the SMY cluster? I have the SMY as well, and was considering the GTSpec wheel, but I'm nervous that it may cut down the vision of the gauge setup.

I ordered Michelin PSS as well, 255/35s and they look very square on the 8.75" wheel, no excess bulging at all

Ps those interior pics look fantastic!! In all honesty, does the Alcantara drive you nuts having to clean it a a lot?? I love Alcantara, but I'm considering doing mine all in leather just to reduce the maintenance haha

No blocking at all. Works great.

It is super easy to clean and doesn't collect dust like you think it would. Alcantara is a man made synthetic. It doesn't fade and it is really durable.

Excellent news, have to pick up one of those soon! And yeah I'm pretty excited to get the summer tires/wheels on in a month or two

Yeah? Damn you, nearly had myself convinced to go all leather, and now you've got me wanting Alcantara again haha

If you don't mind me asking, could you PM me how much it cost to have the steering wheel wrapped by JPM? Trying to figure out whether its just better to order the Prova wheel or get the GTSpec wrapped, If I go for the Alcantara that is! I am very indecisive regarding my car... Gotta be perfect haha

The only thing your car needs is a scoopless hood. Then it actually will be the greatest GR WRX I have ever seen.

I hate to disappoint you but that will never happen. The plan is to make the scoop functional for something else and I don't like the scoopless look anyway.
