I agree. That's kind of what made me jump on them. I like the red ones on WRB, GBS and SWP. I just wanted that OEM look and I think these work nicely.

Subarugenuineparts.com sells each side for $190. Would $300 be fair, you guys think? I'd go much lower if any of you guys are interested in having an extra set to cut open and paint or whatever. I think these tails look good painted.

EDIT:

So on FT86Club they're selling for around $120. The heck? I might just hold on to them if that's the case. Maybe cut them up myself for fun, I don't know.

[Andrew025]

I'll give you $5 and a snickers wrapper.

[chanomatik]

See! That's the kind of stuff I'm talking about. Crazy how value changes. I'd rather just keep them in case I end up selling the TOM'S, which would only happen if the Helix ones without the TOM'S logo came out and were cheaper. That's still a few months off yet.

[OrbitalEllipses]

Everything on FT86Club is cheaper than it rightfully should be. Those classifieds are terrible. That place is terrible. *shudder*

[chanomatik]

So I have a red weighted shift knob, but now I have two black ones on the way.

I ordered Galaxy Black for myself originally.


However, some member on FT86Club couldn't wait any longer and wanted a full refund after their knob had been made, but hadn't shipped yet. To keep the peace with the vendor, I also bought the knob at a discount. It'll be asphalt black. I'll most likely try to sell it up here in Alaska to any 6-speed manual owner.



If you're interested and don't mind cheap/slow boat shipping to you, I might be inclined to sell it to ya. Just keep it in mind. I'll have actual pics after I get it.

[OrbitalEllipses]

Who are you, Kosta? So many knobs!

[chanomatik]

Three Knobz.

[insane_one]

i want a knob. which ones are you selling? will it work with my non 6spd?

[chanomatik]

As long as it screws on, you're good. I'll show it to you once I get it, the asphalt black one. I might also sell my red knob, which would go better with your interior. The galaxy black should go better with my interior. I plan on painting or swapping out the drift knob and replacing all the interior plastics with a gloss black from JDM/AUS lowest trim FT-86 models.

Oh by the way, Kev, my bad for not getting back to you. I was booked solid this weekend, plus I'm dogsitting/housesitting, so I can't be away too long. We still need to get together. At least we're getting more daylight each day.

[chanomatik]

Since Davin worked so hard on shaving the studs on my hubs and I don't feel like dealing with new wheels for now, I'm thinking I'm going to keep rocking these STI wheels through the summer. Got other things I'd like to do with my time and money.

[OrbitalEllipses]

Positive you don't want Enkei RS05RR? Or TWS T66-F?

[chanomatik]

Needs that OEM look bruh. The Enkei wheels are to die for, though.

[insane_one]

its all good. We'll have an Epic photoshoot one of these days. Pic of the red knob? Dont feel like sifting throught the hundred pages of chat lol

Lol

[chanomatik]

Some projects I like to leave up to the masses. What are people's opinions? Once they're released, I'm going to have to decide between:

Universally Accepted Hotness


or Acquired Taste (aka "Subaru Problems" or "Jive's Kryptonite")


They're Spyder LED headlights.

[Andrew025]

I vote neither

[chanomatik]

Damnit! There's one of you in every bunch!

[Celery GT-5]

+1 one on neither

[chanomatik]

You guys are no fun.

[Celery GT-5]

Aftermarket lights are bad lol

[Andrew025]

Get some JDM headlights overnighted from Japan yo.

Seriously, get the GT86 or 10 series headlights if you want that look.
Those spyder ones are just tacky looking to me

[Celery GT-5]

Yeah go big or go home and stuff

You wouldn't say that if you had a 2012-2014 WRX.

I hate the GT86 ones the most because there's just the single LED strip up top... I like these because of the strip of LEDs underneath and the halo rings. It's like GT86+.

Otherwise the BRZ ones are still my favorite.
