The new VB WRX has gotten a lot of hate for the cladding around the car, but today we're fixing that with some paint matched fender flares! Out with the old and in with the new! Let me know what you guys think of the new flares that not only give us the paint matched look but are also 10mm wider!

Am I the only one who noticed the rear panels don’t fully cover the two clip spots on the bumper 👀 I really wanted these but I think my OCD couldn’t let that slide 😢 7:40
Dude that made a huge difference. I finally don’t hate it 😂 shoutout Aeroflow the goats 🐐 I think it would look even better with that ride height dropped a smidge
One thing at a time! Haha
I got used to the cladding and it didn't bother me, but without it the car looks more expensive.
It definitely changes it up a bit. I didn't mind the cladding either but I've gotta say I prefer this.
The fact it’s ten mil wider is actually sick
It looks sooo much better!!! I agree with you, this is how the car should have came from the factory.
If they released the current wrx as a smaller run "wilderness" trim people would have loved it. Ultimate off road wrx. In the show room it is right on with the rest of subarus current design language.
convinced me to finally upgrade from my 15’ for the 22’ wrx It gets delivered next week, and first thing I’m doing is buying the Afd aero kit and paint matched fender flares! 🙏🏽
Cladding actually makes a lot of sense up here in Colorado with all the rocks and road salt etc. I get people aren't fans of the look but its pretty functional if you are actually getting outdoors when driving.
Whats up with the fitment on the rears? I can see gaps toward the back after you were done installing--- 7:40-on and 11:17-on. was there any fix for that? I was thinking about getting a set and this was a little troubling.
The color looks off as well IMO. I know it's supposed to be close but maybe it's just the camera angle.
I don’t mind the bare plastic on the front and sides except for the massive rear bumper. It needs some paint to break it up.
this is how these cars shouldve came from factory!. another great video! nice meeting you at SEMA this year! hopefully see you again next year!
This needs to be on every new wrx... 🔥
that not 100% paint match on the white would annoy the shit out of me. from far away it looks ok but i don't think i could do it on white. the wrb look very good.
I’m on the same boat. I don’t mind the cladding, and it definitely doesn’t look as bad in person verses the photos, but I gotta say, the paint matched flares look better. The bumper for sure needs some paint. That’s one thing I can’t get over, and I’ve had my VB for 7 months.
All in good time!!!
Agreed, modding a car is an expensive hobby.
the rear needs more paint than the front though...but yea..they both need some ha
If only there's something we can do about the black on the rear bumper :D
There is actually, aerodynamics has done it :)
Hey Kevin, I’ve been watching your videos for quite a long time and really appreciate all the stuff that you do for these vehicles. What is your opinion on the paint matched flares? Especially on the white vehicle is it that noticeable? Just curious because I wanna pick up a set for myself.
I bought the black Silica gloss, and it looks awesome, my girl made a point to me that the paint match made it look less like a race car, I protested at first but then I looked at pics in her perspective and I feel she is right, paint match makes it look like a normal car and less special.
What size are the wheels on the car in this video? They look a little wider than the stock size.
Looks way better! Does Aeroflow make a paint matched rear bumper?
I’m on the fence I have a white one as well
Personally love both but the AF flares make it look soo much better 😗👌🏼
👍 I like it much better with the corn French to match the paint and make the tires and rims look bigger as they
I actually liked the black a lot more :/ wonder what gloss black would have looked like
Are you going to paint the textured section of the rear bumper as well?
What trim? Base, premium or limited?
So much better.
Paint matched fender flares look 100% better on white paint plus the additional 10mm cleans up your poke if you’re running 9.5” wheels. 👍
Actually looks super nice! Gj kevin
What do you do with the glue that comes with it ?
I really like both. The paint match definitely gives you more options for aftermarket wheels (aesthetically), but in stock form or with the right chunky wheel and tire setup, the black flares look great. Especially on the white, I love it. Ive built cars in the past, but the plans for this one are to stay mostly stock. Im a dad, live in the norttheast and the plastic fender flares are a welcome addition to the new wrx.
Hey what size spacers do you have on your wheels? I just got some new wheels and definitely need them to sit like that!??
9:56 angles 🙌
If you look at your bumper compared to your quarter panel they do not perfectly match from factory and that is do to dissimilar substrates. Just an FYI you can not perfectly match even if the paint is applied at the same time, in the same booth, and with the same paint mixture. However looks good and most people will not pick up on it.
A must do if you get a vb wrx.
Looks sick. Are those the GT1 rims from AFD?
Just a tip but I find if you heat while removing the tape will peel right off.
I think if the fender flares were Atleast round I might like them better. Either way paint matched looks so much better than black plastic imo.
No, that’s not your opinion that’s facts bro 😂
It’s practical for off-road ( no rock chip on paint) but it’s really a eye soar
Looks way better. But the fitment of the rear ones seems a little off, especially behind the wheels
something about the rear flares look off
Honestly i like them both
I know 99% of customers hate the black plastic cladding all over the car but they actually have a purpose and help with the aerodynamics of the car.
Painting over them or removing them defeats the sole purpose of what they are intended for, the car does look much better if it came that way from factory, I’m sure Subaru could’ve figured out a way to make them functional with color matching paint.
If I ever get one I’m leaving the black I feel like the white washes out the body lines but to each their own
What wheels are those? Specs please 🙏
They been on the list for the wrx for awhile but first some coilovers. But after im done with alil more stuff for the sti hahah😂😂😂
That looks way way way better. I don't know what Subaru were thinking putting unpainted parts on the car???
Great video, thanks. Looks awesome 🤙
Its a great option, because even the body shop will not get the color 100% perfect. Just painting a bumper for a dodge ram recall will cost the dealership around 700. Painting is the most expensive thing done at any body shop.
While I don’t mind the cladding on the white this completely changes the look. Subaru should take notes!
looks good either way, but even better after.
May I ask how much the flares cost you?
Please make products for the Gen 1 BRZ/86 as well!
WOW that is a huge improvement!
Great video. Thanks!
Nice. Gotta change wheels now, for fitment and appearance.
Looks very sharp!
Any experience with the Aeroflow Dynamics rear wing?
Not yet, but will likely be installing one!
Looks way better. I test drove a new wrx premium recently, way better than the 2020 performance pack wrx I had. I'm starting to really like the VB generation.
With the cladding gone the rear 3/4 looks kinda short and stubby especially with that spoiler I wish that's how it came from factory
Damn, that looks great!
100x better, the plastic grey guards are garbo
let go it looks amazing
S209 Vibes
Night and day so much better keep up the great work!!
So I went to the link to see how much those paint match flares cost. I'm shocked it's priced at $830.....for plastic. I was not expecting that price
I know right! I'm about to buy my own matching paint and clear coat and paint the factory ones...
kevin the goat
Easy mod, but major change 🔥
Whats is your offset?
The cladding has definitely grown on me from when the car first came out ..
fire build!
Thanks! Still lots to do!
Needs paint matched side skirts.
Looks nice 9:23
it's a big improvement, but why did Subaru have to use a Ford Taurus grill. There's just so much work needed to get the WRX looking like a decent car on day one.
Definitely should’ve came from the factory like that.
Dope. Definitely needs a smidge more low now like you said. 😢
Soon!!
should have come out of the factory like this. much better looking
Unfortunately with the white you can see in the video the color is off….
I guess 10mm really make a huge different eh?
Only $750 out of pocket to make the car look like it should have out of the factory, excellent.
This alone makes this car look 100x better. Now if only you can replace that rear black section 😂
sooo much better with the matching flares.
What an improvement!
Team cladding for me, especially on white.
But your monster truck looks pretty good! 😇
Can you sell me your HRS clear tail lights from the BRZ you took off before SEMA?
I will continue to say this until this car no longer exists or changes, This is exactly how the car should've came from factory. I just hope Subaru see's how much people dislike the fenders and color match them in the future with later models.
Not everyone hates them. Especially those of use who actually rally.
Honestly I got used to the cladding. It’s really not that bad after owning it for a while. I think most VB owners can agree with this.
I love them. Why look like everyone else its wrx. A rally car Not a Gtd car.
Actually I like SOME contrast. For me the best solution is to keep the cladding but get the car in dark grey or black.
To each is own majority of VB owners love the cladding. I dont want to make my car looks like a corolla with paint match lol
Yessss…This is the look right here …. I never liked the black cladding on the white VBs.
Much cleaner looking!
Should have came like that from factory tbh. Looks complete now 👍🏻
Now we have something to build off of haha
Carbon ones i just peeped dont look half bad. I maybe the minority i love the interior. Exteriors grows on you with mods for sure
The way it should’ve came from the factory! 👌
Hopefully the next redesign fixes the pug face rear end and ford Taurus front grille.
I like it but for $1000?
I bought these in black, and the paint has started to chip off after about 5 months of being installed.
I honestly wonder if just getting it painted would be better for the long term
The fitment looks off and normally the camera part hides gaps etc. I think if you are super picky you would go the Axis Parts route instead..
I like the cladding, I take my car to the track a lot and it protects my paint
just bought
Im actually getting the fenders in carbon fiber 🥵 to match my CF side skirts and lip
Damn it’s SO MUCH BETTER like that
It's pretty good isn't it!
You can tell the fitment isn't perfect. Painting oem would be better option. The fitment plus mismatched paint would bug me.
PRO TIP* You can used WD40 to easily remove and eat away at the adhesive w.o damaging paint.
Overpriced
