Honestly I would recommend performance first cause it’ll just make the driving experience better and make you enjoy the car more which the most important part in my opinion
@@Mk7Albert Depends on the speed. These cars top out at 64mph in second gear so you could technically do a 5-2 downshift at highway speed and still be OK.
Those cars look dope! You all should be pleased with yourselves! :) In terms of performance/exterior, you just need to decide what your long term goals for the car is, or rather how if fits into your collection. E.G is it to be a stylish daily driver, or a weekend canyon toy, or a stanced out cruiser to turn heads (the FRS is the latter so that could be ruled out). So big wings increase fuel consumption and track brakes can squeak and be dangerous when cold, so probably avoid them on a daily, but great for track cars. Which ever way you go, I look forward to seeing what you do for it. My opinion on the rear lights is the red will blend into the paintwork while the smoked ones will pop nicely, and match the black surrounds of aftermarket front headlights, and the black wheels, but it’s not my car! :)
Chris I personally blame you for the reason I’m broke lol Oh btw I’m the guy who had his frs totaled last month…I bought another one and this one is sooo much better thank God 🙏🏻 I’ll be submitting it sometime so hopefully you can rate it. Love the vids bro!
i'm just like you, i have my warranty (which you kinda pay for) and i don't plan on ruining it. but exterior mods help so much for these wrx's; i'm looking into getting some lowering springs and the roof wrapped black as well. i'll forever be a subie and bmw fanboy, they're just both the ideal balance of clean aesthetics and performance; the perfect drivers car.
Chris, your frs air out is so freakin sick. Oh can you do a full review on kais frs? His ride is sick as hell and I wanna know the power he’s putting down.
I can't wait to see how you're going to build your WRX. my opinion on the wing I personally don't like the big "wangs". I personally think the only wing that flows well with these cars is the STI wings. just my opinion tho lol. good content bro 👍🏽
Just ordered my WRX in white. Dont plan on doing much to mine for a while (i dont make that kind of money). Def wanna get a tint and new head and tail lights. I was stuck between a gold/bronze wheel setup or black, but after seeing that clean ass white on black, for sure going black now. Gonna stick to exterior mods only probably. Pretty excited for my first somewhat fast car. Ive been driving a base 2008 mazda 3 forever.
It's hard to say, normally I would say performance but you got factory warranty. I would go looks and baby mods for gains, unless u got lots of $ cause if not done wright these engines go boom. I'm sure you tube will say performance all the way but there not paying for it, there just watching.
Your point on "if not done right boom" is one of the most introspective and level headed comments I've heard. People think to just mod away. If you don't do it right, right parts, right tuner, right roll of the dice, $$$$$$$$ 🔥 🔥 🔥
I've argued with so many npcs online trying to pretend these motors don't have their share of flaws and limitations if you want power and performance from them. People will tell you about their 250k sti or wrx, till the cows come home, they're arguments couldn't be easily recreated irl. It's ego, shame, and insecurity that makes people defend these slow fragile cars.
As someone that has owned 2 FA wrx's, my opinion is stick to cosmetics only, maybe some light performance mods. Chasing big power is not worth it in these.
If you’re getting an exhaust, go Tomei 🤌🏼💥 seriously you will not be disappointed! My wrx sounds insane with it along with the grimmspeed catted downpipe
Spun bearing at 28k and thets with proper maintence and very little aggressive driving, even after warranty goes, you may not have long to wait until thing breaks.
I always go for safety first then performance second. Safety meaning all the chassis and suspension mods to make sure your car is planted then the engine will be next. Looks always comes last. What’s all the “look fast” mods for if your car is slow AF 🤷🏻♂️ IMHO👍Nice rides tho 🙌✌️
A rally inspired car that wouldn't be in production now, had it never rally crossed, with high ride height, to turn it into a car that will bottom out everywhere, wtf is the point of that?
@@chris_borges with these cars, due to likelihood of motor having a bad day, certainly don't want warranty gone but w/o upgrading and taking that risk, stock, these suck.
A stock WRX with an e30 tune will pretty much be as fast as a FBO STI. FBO WRX with e50-e65 is 50-65whp more than a FBO STI on ethanol. If you plan on doing a built motor, then an STI is a much better platform. But if you’re talking about “cheaper power” such as basic bolt ons, then an FA20 is better IMO.
Performance Mods 💯
💣 🤯

tight fit 🤪

Can’t wait to see the progress on this wrx build!🔥

stage 2 with a catless downpipe is the move

"...have fun but drive safe." 💯
Always!
Ngl Aquinobound has one of my favorite wrx builds on RUclips it’s so simple and clean 🤩
Doing performance would be a good choice, but exterior would be good too, every time I get to ride in my cousins Sti it makes me want to get one.
bro your channel is the only one that makes me rewatch your videos
I know this is an old video but no wing over big wing ! Less is more
Chris Borges WRX is going to sound clean look clean just like the FRS
I regretted goin' exterior first, performance is pretty expensive but so is exterior depending on your taste.
I’m so glad I found this channel I’m a new subscriber can’t wait to see you finish your wrx 🙌🏻
Those cars look dope! You all should be pleased with yourselves! :)

Rally armor mudflaps, access port, intake, bpv, it’s gounna be a sick build I feel it ! 🔥
That White WRX is modded perfect and not to extreme. Well done to the owner, he has good taste.

flex is the way to go never looked back 💯💯
It’s true.. this dit loves flex. The fa20 reacts better to ethanol than the ej motors
Chris, your frs air out is so freakin sick. Oh can you do a full review on kais frs? His ride is sick as hell and I wanna know the power he’s putting down.
Definitely!

Appreciate you guys in advance. ❤️
Go rainguards, carbon fiber door handles and mirrors you belive how much better it will look .
You don't have to go crazy man just get grimmspeed intake for cool noises and get an e30 tune. It's night and day.
I can't wait to see how you're going to build your WRX. my opinion on the wing I personally don't like the big "wangs". I personally think the only wing that flows well with these cars is the STI wings. just my opinion tho lol. good content bro 👍🏽
what exhaust is that? sounds a bit like an axel back??? (the silver one)
Rather have the big oem wing on the WRX, least similar to what Throtl did to it on their previous WRX giveaway
1st mod for the wrx should be a tomei exhaust💯
Cant wait for you to get some wrx merch ;)
Thank you for taking us on this adventure with you guys. Especially during this time. Props. Great work.
DEYMMM can't wait to see the progress mods on your wrx🔥
thank you man stay tuned!!

just copped some merch,keep up the grind bro
much love bro 👊🏻
Tail lights, head lights and a front lip bro👌loving the content. Can't wait to see where you take this build
ayyy appreciate it man!
Exterior of the cars under warranty. That’s what I’m doing. Once warranty is up accessport is going in
Great content I subbed‼️‼️
perfect fitment - but ignore the bracket holding my front bumper on lol. Looks like he might need one for the rear soon.
Waiting on my STI to arrive and have already accepted the warranty is gone and I am doing performance mods
ayo saw you in the intro of throtl’s vid. big steps bro.
WRX looks so good without any wing or lip! I want to remove my factory lip after seeing that!
clean forsure 🔥
the back lights are lit what’s the name of them?
Damn that BRZ might not be fast but it looks great !
sickkk vid bro !!
I was on a hurry checking out on the merch to watch this video😂 Haiiiii dad❤️
Hahaha real one bro! ❤️
Exterior first then performance imo but ur car and I’ll be here to watch whichever
I would do exterior plus exhaust so you don't void stuff and if you dump money into the motor and blow it you won't have any left for the exterior ;)
Good thinking 👊🏻
Definitely need an exhaust for the first mod it completely changes the experience
Definitely 👀
I just got a remark and it 100% changes the entire experience

Performance mods is where it’s at
I'm about to do the same with my Hawkeye, big wing with no bodykit. It gives it a "what could be under the hood" / "Touge" look 😂
Race my boy cameronhill type r. I wanna see that race .
What’s the difference between a WRX vs WRX STI versions
As someone that has owned 2 FA wrx's, my opinion is stick to cosmetics only, maybe some light performance mods. Chasing big power is not worth it in these.
I heard 😰
Someone with a brain. Rare to see.
I’ve been looking at that white wrx’s strafe design diffuser but what fin design did he get?
Just start with a downpipe and rock that stage 2 ots map until you decide to get a tune
I would go performance, you have a beautiful 86, now you gotta make a fast build and add some cosmetics here and there on the way :)
What size and brand rims are they please mate?🇦🇺🤙🏼
But that’s my answer to your question homie ! You already got a nice looking frs
Looks vs performance? You are kidding, right? Performance all frigging day!!!!
On the white car who makes those white lower rear pieces?
What kind of wheels are those I didn’t hear in the video?
I love the wing on the silver sti.Can you tell me how to find one?
I can’t pick between the trims wrx base or other models ?
I thought CA was strict AF? Or is it by county?
“Static” I haven’t heard that in a long ass time
If you’re getting an exhaust, go Tomei 🤌🏼💥 seriously you will not be disappointed! My wrx sounds insane with it along with the grimmspeed catted downpipe
Oooo I bet it sounds so dope!
You can do performance and just get rims and suspension just so it can look nice
Na bro he’s still got that warranty
I have basically that same performance setup, you definitely want to go performance mods. >:)
Love to see it 💯💯
🤝
did the silver wrx get a pro tune or e-tune?
The wing doesn’t look good on a wrx, only the sti wing and duck bill wings look good honestly
I’ve see both of y’all around town
What color wrap is that green brz have ?
Yeah I'm just doing exterior first as well don't want to void the warranty just yet lol
Spun bearing at 28k and thets with proper maintence and very little aggressive driving, even after warranty goes, you may not have long to wait until thing breaks.
lowkey do exterior so that you can enjoy the performance as is for a while
What kind of wheels for the white wrx?
Yours is a BRZ?
What spoiler was that on the gray wrx?
Performance!!!!
ayee noti gang 🔥👌

What kindev camera is this
I have seeing the gray subí in Chula
bro what headlights are those i need them
Tail lights would be dope can wait for what you do to your wrx
thanks man!
Where can I get the grey card wheels 🛞
I love the big wing 👍👍👍👍👍👍
🔥🔥🔥
It would be awesome if you added headers, exhaust and a tune for your first mod
Damnnnn bye bye warranty 🤪
@@chris_borges haha I guess in the future
@@chris_borges with these cars, due to likelihood of motor having a bad day, certainly don't want warranty gone but w/o upgrading and taking that risk, stock, these suck.
the white wrx is sexy, its perfect
Test fit the brz wheels on it to see how it would look as ur first mod 🤷🏾♂️
Hahaha damn i would need like -20 camber 😂😂
Aye Subi gang
DEBATING trading in my 2019 wrx base for a 2021 Sti what do you guys think? Worth the trade? I feel like I can build a faster car for less...
A stock WRX with an e30 tune will pretty much be as fast as a FBO STI. FBO WRX with e50-e65 is 50-65whp more than a FBO STI on ethanol.
If you plan on doing a built motor, then an STI is a much better platform. But if you’re talking about “cheaper power” such as basic bolt ons, then an FA20 is better IMO.
@@AquinoBound that and if u wanna keep having blown engines go with the ej
@@tygermccullough8865 goes for both pretty evenly
Big wing all day
do exterior and exhaust mods that dont require a tune and keep that warranty so u can send it with no fear

I heard people blowing the motor when the car is completely stock too 😂
