Agree my friend but compromises had to be made for her and neighbors. Mainly just spoiler (her only) and catback. But it’s all good. She didn’t care at all about intake and BPT (Graham) custom tune!
I installed the Noble version and had some similar troubles. I put the whole wing together and had someone hold it while bolting to the trunk. I almost karate chopped the wing at one point but it’s on and holding strong. I went with the black wing on a white VB.
Haha dude it's definitely a challenge. If I had to do this alone I would definitely be yelling. Now that I've done it I know for sure I can do this again in half the time or less.
@@chewy6367 very soon . I've been talking to Misha and we have a plan. It's just gotta find the time at the shop to do it. I will make the most comprehensive guide with ALL the details.
as sexy as it is, i really think subaru dropped the ball by not offering the oem sti wing as an accessory option for the wrx. Like, if you wanted to you should be able to factory build the car and have the option to add the wing. It's such a bummer too because you have to settle on aftermarket parts to which quality will vary. Ik you can import the actual wing from japan and what not but still, i wouldn't mind paying for it here in the states. love the vids, my favorite wrx channel, love your car, dont stop!
I really appreciate it! I'm pretty sure you can order an OEM STIbwin even in the US unofficially especially now that the 24s are coming with them in AU. I knew dealerships last year that were importing them for people to install from Japan.
Hey Awais, would you know if this wing uses the same holes as a Noble V1 wing? My wing whistles bad and I'm considering buying another unless I need to drill MORE holes...
IIR sells a kit that removes that 'whistle' the wing makes. It's called the "Noble Whistle B Gone Kit" and it's made specifically for the issue you have. It's only $30. The kit uses a PPF film to cover the indents on the bottom side of the wing. Easy to install.
I did this with the original have to move paper template from side to side.. it was a real .p.i.t.a but i did it love it but next time id pay someone else personally lol 😆 😅 😂
Just my opinion. I hate the look of sti wing on vb. There is no VB Sti. There is no Sti wing for the vb. The rear of the vb is already busy. This just makes it look like it's trying too hard. But if you like it. Good for you.
@@jkim8282 since the 22 was first released a STI wing was available in Japan. The wing is just a piece of plastic It is not what makes a STI ASTI. Also now all the TRs available overseas come standard with the wing. I understand it's a pretty subjective thing but the STI wing has never truly been just STI considering Subaru offered it as an option on the WRX if you wanted it.
@@jumpnjack808 the bit i had has the pointed tip but what was happening was my bits were cheap. I am not a professional and don't have all the right tools sometimes. The point is to show you if I can do it poorly then you can for sure do it!
Looks good. It's basically the automotive equivalent of antlers: a public display of one's testosterone levels.
😂😂😂😂
Looks great! You got passed the toughest barrier of all, using a drill on the outside of your car!
@@Kopernicus67 thanks so much! That really is the barrier 😂
I’ve been considering this. Wasn’t a fan until I saw one in person. Now it’s on my mind a lot more lately. Looks good!
Nowa a time to get a one! Use my code and get an early Christmas present.
you finally got the wing!! good stuff
Looks so sick on a VB, I got got an STI trunk swap on my VA WRX last week and it completely changed the way the car looks.
Yea I agree. I've always been a fan of the wing.
Looks good! I’m a fan but my wife said “no way in hell” when she first agreed to getting my ‘23 WRX. The compromise was a color matched duckbill.
Haha dude I know the feeling 😭 sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness ☠️

I agree.
Looks fantastic and is exactly what I want to do to mine. Gotta get over the fear of drilling though.
@@johnmccombe6342 well you see me do it here and I am FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR from a professional lol. If I can do it you can too!
@HeavyMetalWRX thank you buddy! I really appreciate the words of encouragement!! You are awesome!
Is a really good spoiler I have it on mine and is solid V3 2.5
I got a black one for my WRB but found color match wrap and wrapped the side faces, it looks killer
I bet that looks pretty bad ass.
Looks good. All now to do is to remove the stock lip spoiler and plug the holes.
Yea that's my only problem. Most of us have premiums or above so it has the trunk lid lip. When I do my wing I'll swap for a base trunk.
@@HeavyMetalWRX oooo ok gotcha. Have you moved away from the DMV area for good or are you gone temporarily?
@@jeremyjackson8643 I never lived there. I've always been in STL.
@@HeavyMetalWRX Ok gotcha!
The wang has arrived! does it make any noise when you are at highway speeds?
@@chrischarles9218 nope. I was informed no noise or whistles at triple digit speeds 👀👀
Looks great. When are we going to see the STI trans swap? I'm definitely going to need an in-depth install video.

Looks good brotha 🤙🏾 I would’ve broken everything 😅
Thanks so much!
Where you located ? I need a short shifter installed 😭
I'm in St. Louis. Bring it to my shop!
hey brotha, where did you get your rear emblem from? ive been trying to look for one recently
@@BowlofCereal_ this is my buddy Jordons car. I'll ask him. It's a pretty badass emblem, isn't it.
@@HeavyMetalWRX hell yeah it is
I want the get the JDM swan tail. It’s expensive though.
@@groo2765 if its the one I'm thinking then I want that too 👀👀

@@CruelUnknown if you could send me pictures and measurements I could figure out out for you.

Where can we see the wing and tailights (turned on) together?
This wasnt my car. This is my buddy Jordons carm he has just the tinted overlay.
I thought it was your car at first 😅
Lolol not yet!
Hey man! :)

Must have been using a wood bit or something lol
It was for metal but it was old and suuuuucked.
Send me one so I can install on my TR
@@BarrioBuildz bruh I wish I had it like that 😭
@@HeavyMetalWRXlove your channel we should collab for a fun video
@@HeavyMetalWRX we definitely should link up for a video
