- I'm someone who always does performance before cosmetics and now that the WRX is making a Spicey 450WHP It's time to start making it look as good as it runs. So we're wrapping the WRX in a beautiful Beige Metallic wrap from Hexis! This is my first time using Hexis and overall it's really not a bad wrap to work with!

Sending you best wishes on STI dyno day. Hoping for major sauce and more flames!
We want all of the flames 🔥
@@Smeedia Any chance of a live dyno sesh? Id be so stoked but I can only imagine the nerves. Either way sending positive vibes!
The colour looks more like a deep champagne colour I love it, reminds me of the old Toyota Chasers back in my hometown in Zimbabwe
Ohhhh yesss!!! It's something a bit diffrent 🔥😁
You should wrap Mittens 😉
That's a Matt thing but I'd help him 😅
Not including your Bluebaru, this 2014 WRX Hatchback is my favorite build that you've done on the Smeedia channel!! That Wang you got looks sick on da hatch!! The painted headlights look so much nicer and this wrap is looking really clean. Mad props for putting in that work on this sweet ass Hatchback!!
I still can't believe you crammed a freaking EG33 into your STI!!
Wow. Love me my black subies but that wrap is without a doubt awesome. Can't wait to see what blue can do!
Can't go wrong with black 🔥 wanted to try and do something a bit diffrent with the color. 😁
Tanner, thats actually really smart and unique to get a color you usually don't see on Subaru's. I really like it! The black accents really does it for this car. This hatch build is just so good.... Keep up the great work. 🙌🏾👏🏾🔥
best thing about the bronze color range, is it hides dirt really well. that color looks pretty good on the car.
Yessss, will look a bit cleaner when totally dirty 😅🔥
That color is DOPE!!! Thank you Tina for the assit! Can't wait for the Bluebaru!! Second edit. You must have the dopest neighbors.
The neighbors are pretty chill 😅🔥
Man Bluebaru is going to do so good on the Dyno.
🤞🤞🤞
Looks like a ode to Nagata and Top Secret. Love it
🙏🙏🙏 it does look like that supras color
It’s great that Tina helped you out. She has lots of experience with wraps
Alqays nice to have a helping hand 🔥
Shout out to Tina with them Madddd skillof hers. Oh yeahhhh
💪💪💪
I just love this guy’s content
(Sneak peak I will get STI in couple of days😁😁🔥)
Which one you getting?!
@@Smeedia I am currently looking for 2019+ at copart because it’s cheaper there and I get to enjoy fixing the car. I mean the only reason I’am going on copart is that, want to start to learn to work on the car using ur tutorials 😁. So mostly I’ll pick up a 2019 not ganna go above but if I got to find a decent bid on 2020 I’ll snag one✌️😄
Flashbacks to wrapping mine a few months ago. Took me 10 grueling days.... because of work mostly. I was completely fried by the end. And I had to do it in a tiny ass garage.
That was me the first time I wrapped mine 😅 felt never ending lol
@@Smeedia Finishing the car and still having to do all the door handles, skirt panels, mirrors, and wing was the worst feeling lmao. And then I had to ceramic coat it after. Wrapping is fun, but can be hell sometimes haha.
I was little skeptical when I saw the wrap on the roll, but on the car is 👌 😍. You make me want to wrap my car everytime you do these videos 😅
I'll never get tired of those cold starts
Musical 🔥
@@Smeedia 🤣😂🤣 that made me think of Chappell show making the band. "Who are the five best rappers? Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan and Dylan, because I spit hot fire". It's even more funnier because blue spits hot fire 🔥!!!
Dude fuck yeah Tanner, thanks for doing what you do, you're doing the work we wish we could. Respect!!!!!
Eyyyy Lways appreciate the support my man 🥳
Yeah that color is definitely D.O.P.E.! Great choice!
Thank you Brad 🥳
Love the color. I was hoping purple but this is badass
Wanted to do something a tad diffrent 🙏
Dang I really was expecting dark blue or dark grey. I'm not sold on the colour yet especially combined with the dark blue rims but at least what you chose will be a head turner because its so unique.
If you wrap the top rear area around the back windows in cream a la a Landau top you can have the world's first Malaise Era homage WRX
Lmao don't tempt me 😅
RIP to my 5 speed lol. I love watching the wrx because we’re similar in mods. I’m excited for what’s next for it. You’re the reason I haven’t given up on it yet lol. Thank you Sir.
I've been fairly happy with Hexis wrap. They have a blue metallic that perfectly matches 02c WRB. It saved me some expensive paint work when I was a dummy and left the oem rock chip guards on the car too long. I was unable to get it off the rocker panel moldings without damaging the paint underneath. I wrapped over just the area where the rock chip guard was and you'd never know it was vinyl instead of cpf.
That’s pretty dope 🔥good call on door handles black
Thank you Chad 🥳
Hey bro. The color is dope man.. I like how you chose unusual colors which makes all your cars stand out..
Thank you Cleon 💪🔥 like to mic it up a bit with the colors 😁
@@Smeedia keep up the good work… you are are very creative…
In the sun I would call it a “champagne,” but it look so so good!
DIY wrap Tanner? Definite skillz bro, nicely done. I would never attempt such a project. Want to wrap my front nose piece in Matte black. Hope you had safe travels and sic numbers with Blue. Will wait for the vid. Best of luck 👍
I'm not usually a fan of the beige/grandpad gold but that wrap looks really nice. The black accents really pop
I really don’t like brown or beige cars at all but this color actually looks good. It’s got sort of a bronze/gold tint to it that makes it pop. I like it, I think my favorite color for cars is semigloss pearl white but I wouldn’t mind wrapping my sti this color.
The pwral white is such a good looking color 🔥
Very nice, color, and the black accents on various parts look so clean and smooth and just help all the perfect angles POP and look so good !
Love this color, kinda crazy one of my buds got like the exact same beige wrap on his 06 wrx a few weeks ago😂
Eyyyyy same same?!
Twinning 🔥
Man that color is really good looking man. 👌
Looks so good in the light 🥵
😍 the color looks so good! Good job Tanner and Tina!
Eyyy, thank you my lady 🥰
Good luck bru! Get those numbers
Thank you 🤝🤝🤝
I wasn’t to sure about the color but damn that looks sick!
I was on the fence with it at first but it looks so good 🔥🔥🔥
That is suuuch a nice and unique color
Definitely something a bit diffrent 🔥😁
The color is beautiful dudeeeee😩😩
Dude it looks so good, way better than I was picturing
First thing I saw was the color. 💯🤙👌
Eyyyy 🤝🤝🤝
Dude, I just gotta say keep doing what you are doing. From one car to the next, you have a different level of genuine love for everything you do to them and it's inspiring!! Might be time to get to work on the shitbox myself haha! The wrap looks so GOOD! And today is dyno day for the STI!!!!!!!!!! Good luck!
Dyno day was definitely and interesting one 😅🔥
I just enjoy building these things weather it's cosmetics or power. 🥳
That is such a nice color!! Absolutely love it!
Thank you! Coming out way better than I had planned 😁
YESSSSS I loved this color when you announced it on the stream! First
Looks way better than I pictured 🔥
@@Smeedia it looks amazing, I just found a place that would wrap my car for 3k but that’ll have to wait since I just bought a place, and move into it in October, BUT I’ll be doing a Halloween theme to the STI I think since it’s white
Love the color, and it's great hearing feedback on a not often used wrap company! Wife has been considering wrapping her car...idk if this is enough to push her over the edge to commit. Not a fan of the black door handles(just an odd thing to draw attention to, with a contrasting color), but the car is coming out great!
Love the WRX color, with the black handles and roof it ties really well. Good luck at the Dyno Today hoping everything goes smoothly.
The dyno was an interesting time 😅😅😅
It looks so clean
Wanted a diffrent color and it looks 10x better 🔥😁 love it
🤞🤞🤞 fingers crossed that the STI on the dyno goes smoothly and it makes lots of power.
Dope color!
Thank you my man 🔥
nice hope it goes well for the dyno
Sweet wrap, loving ittttt!
Thank you 🥳🔥
YOOO it looks so good 🔥
Eyyyy, thank you Sam 🤝🙏
Ho yeah more power!!!!!
MO POWA
i had a 96 honda prelude SI special edition in that color when i was a kid..or close too it....man i miss that car
Brother that’s one hell of a hatch, I love it!
I’m thinking a pearlescent white with red tint since everything in the engine bay is red and black. I also want to throw some carbon fenders on and a carbon vented hood.
Then I swap to a full black interior. Before I do that tho I’m stashing cash away to properly build the EJ255 and throw on either the same turbo you have or Blouch 440XT.
The downside with my current setup and lack of any and all emissions equipment is I’m going to have to go open source or stand alone
Awe man!!! I guess the wrong color. But I do like that bronze metallic color. Wrapping a car with a friend (with confident) looks like a fun time.
Lookin sick! Just spoke to my tuner and told him 400whp+ if possible. Running IWG on the fp green tho. so lets see what happens. Stage 2 IAG block and GSC heads. all the funs
A bit like tailoring a suit, there is a tendency to waste a lot of excess material. Best part of getting a car wrapped apart from changing your color, is that you got a protective film on the panels (which help you from getting scratches)
The color isn't for me but this video definitely is. I hope to do this to my hatch next summer so getting some tips and tricks is mega helpful. It looks from here like you guys did a great job, I think the black handles were a great call. Have fun out there at the dyno!
Dyno was definitely and interesting time today, very very long day 😅
I'll cover some things that may help for when you go to do it in the next video 😁
Way to make it one of a kind! thinking of making mine green🤔
Which green are you thinking of 👀👀👀
Wow Tanner! Straight 🔥 or should I saw straight liquid gold!
🤭🤭🤭 it'd way more gold that I thought 😅🔥
I think white wheels on it would look beautiful
Yasssss 🥵🥵🥵
Sweet 2004 Ford Taurus color; Old Man Tan.
Thank you 🤝
Completely missed this video. Grandpa Gold! Lookin like a Cadillac
Color go hard
I'm about it 🔥
Looks soook good!!
Thank you 🥳🥳🥳
Think it would look nice with red/orange wheels and some black/white accents. Try the combo in Forza so u get an idea on how it will look before doing it
Will have to play around with it 🔥👀
Good Shit Tanner ! Keep up the Good Work as always. 🔥
Eyyy appreciate my man 🔥💪
Looks Great!!
Thank you 🥳🥳🥳
Very tasteful on the color choice! I can't imagine why you wouldn't go with mint AND purple, though. 😁😂
As of writing this, Blue should be strapped to the dyno, so I hope it's going well!
I feel like that colour could really pull off some mag blue te37's
TEs look good on anything, but they'd POP with this 🔥
Good luck today. Looking forward to hearing about the STI.
Not my choice in color on the wrap, but not my car; you know what you like.
Drive safe, and here’s to 1400+!
“Before I show you the color” uploads final product in thumbnail
Why wait 😅🔥
@@Smeedia quality content❤️👌🏻
Oh f**k he replied I’m geeking out 😅🤣
Can't wait to see the dyno!
It was an interesting time 😅🔥
Love Techron, been using it for many years (15 plus) any more Info on Techron star
Good stuff 🥳 been using it for a while now 😁
Some Matt bronze RPF1s would look minty
Ohhhhh yessss!!!!
Looks killer!!!!
Tinaaaaa hi we was talking on TikTok 😊 I can’t wait till I get my car to my tuner lol
Love channel, watch almost all the vids but that wrap colour...maybe it looks nicer in person. Wish you well for sti dyno
I can come firm it looks better in person 🤝
Love the wrap. Btw my 17 sti still for sale if you want to buy it and re sell it
Looks like rose gold in the sun kinda
Was thinking the same 😅
Sweet
🥳🥳🥳
Interesting Color...Not my thing...But good on ya.. :) What is an approx cost of that stuff.. ..GLW Tuning the STi... :) Oh...RED Tails please.. :p ;)
This cost me about $550 or so 🥳
Patiently waiting for the STI video to pop up in my notifications
Two days or so 🔥
I was hoping for Yellow but this color is still better than silver
Looks like my champagne gold foz 😆😉 good colour pick!
yoooo that looks dope af man! i love the color. ive been wanting to wrap my wrx but i dont know what to go with lol i have red wheels and not many things will go with red wheel imo. they match the dgm paint so nicely though. this car is sick man
I was one that mentioned mint 😭 looks great regardless and great video like always! Off subject question tho, what's your coolant temps with the grimmspeed fmic? I recently went fmic for the first time with a 3.5" ets and mine likes to stay around 196-203 now.
Any recommendations for a clutch on a mostly stock 17' STI?
OEM or ACT HDSS 🙏
@@Smeedia you are a wonderful person. Thank you
Are you still going to Subie Fest with the STI being tuned today??
As a wrap installer who’s used literally everything, Hexis is a quality product with a long history in the business. My only gripe with the brand ever is how tacky it is on contact. So horizontal surfaces can be pretty rough to do on your own. Other than that it’s premium shit
Forgot to add this, color is fucking sickkkkkk man haha
Wayyyy better than what people were telling me, would use it again any day of the week 🔥
@@Smeedia oh man for sureee I’m a big believer in trying shit for myself anyway and clearly so are you. Channel growth has been nuts lately btw man.
I'd love to ask you some questions about the 6 speed swap and why you think the engin will blow up with the 390 hp if that would be possible it would help a lot
Quality content my guy.
Always appreciate the love David 🔥💪
Hope dyno day today went well brother!
It was.... interesting 😅
@@Smeedia what a tease!!tear!!! Lmao
Cool color, is about 7-8 thousandths good for stock valves and cams? I know you set your 2.5 to 6 thow but it had a fully built valvetrain, all I'm going to do is cams. It's the s20 heads from a ej20 engine I got. Just want to make sure it's somewhat within spec before I put those on my engine. Can't wait for the bluebaru to make some sauce.
I wanna come up to Washington to work on some projects with you, would you be willing to help me with installs and getting a channel started?
I unfortunately just don't have the time 🥲 but always open to questions where I can 🙏
@@Smeedia No worries man, I get it! I would love to see you at a meet sometime! Slowly building my car and you’re definitely motivation to start videos!
Bro those rims look dope as f@$k
Eyyyyy, thank you 😁
Dang, how many Subies did you build to unlock that camo? 😂
Looks sick tbh
Lmao I still gotta get diamond camo 🤣
Looking into buying a 2014 wrx with 7 years of maintenance history, bone stock, and no lights on the dash.. don’t know if that’s too good to be true. What should I look out for besides head gaskets 🫡
Head gaskets aren't really as much of an issue on 2012-2014 WRX's as much as the poorly manufactured pistons are. 4th generation is the least reliable gen for WRX's. Head gaskets blowing in them constantly is just a meme born from the first and second gens which did have a weakness there. The car you're looking at is still an okay car, just get someone like Tanner to take the engine out and get it fully built so you can actually throw some mods and power at it without worrying. If you are looking for a WRX that won't break, don't buy a 2013-14 WRX or STi.
On your recent vids there was a white wrx/sti is it gonna be part of the channel or?
Will cover the rebuild on that one 🤝🔥
This might have been said before but when you are low on any fuel how do you switch back to the other gas. do you have to drain it first or just fill it with the other fuel then switch tunes
Just fill it with the other fuel type, just get the tank as low as possible before filling 🙏
@@Smeedia ok thanks bro and we are waiting on your other video
Dammmmmm dude looking heaps good I just got my bugeye flares have to start fixing body damage
