The single-handed Biggest complaint I have seen regarding the 2022/2023 Subaru WRX is the cladding. "Why didn't Subaru paint the fenders?". TBH I don't know. But the Guys at Aeroflow Dynamics came up with a mint solution by making Bolt-on OEM OEM-style painted flares. Let me tell you they 100% make the New Subaru WRX look MILES Better.

@peoriavideosltd6822 3 месяца назад

I definitely prefer the flares to be paint matched, but I agree, even when paint matched they are still kind of a kludge. Kind of like those aftermarket stick-on widebody kits. In a perfect world there would be no wheelwell cladding there at all and it would just be smooth sheetmetal.

@shiloh5199 10 месяцев назад

The STI started in 2 cranks of of the key this time. The wheels flares are dope!! If you compare the paint matched flares from the VB chassis to the VA chassis you'll notice that the VB chassis has an Octagon shape versus the VA chassis having a smooth round shape. The VA chassis fender flares look so much better.

I would keep the black skirts because the lower part of the front and back bumper are black. The way you have it now is chef's kiss IMO.

@ianmansfield8885 10 месяцев назад

we see a lot of the front and bonnet and that looks amazing..the black on the front ties in the black side skirts ..awesome

@ramseyquintanilla8208 10 месяцев назад

Tossing in my two cents, I’d argue this is my quintessential look for the VB chassis, it’s similar enough to tie it back to the VA, but different enough with the flat black around the bottom of the car via side skirts and bumpers, to pull it all together! 10/10 dig it

@lilmike1780 10 месяцев назад

The other option to tie the flat black side skirts in with the front and rear bumper would be to take what mat’s thought was a two piece on the front lower part of the front cover and tape it off at the line and flat black it. It would carry the the flat black and piano black layers all the way around, and it would be a lot cheaper than having the skirts color matched.

10 месяцев назад

This is the way.

@okseby 10 месяцев назад

Yeah this is what you should do, I've seen people paint the side skirt and imo it looks weird because then it becomes to uniform. Just paint the small part of the flare that goes onto the bumper black.

@icemantuck2638 10 месяцев назад

I prefer the black much more, but I've seen a few color matched ones that looked good. Depends on the color of the car. My issue with these, and the bulk of paint matched flares, is that bottom piece of the fender that touches the fog light housing should not be paint matched. It flows with the side skirts and should be left black like the side skirts. Visually, it is not part of the flare.

@MrLuchoBigoton 10 месяцев назад

It’s not that it looked bad but it’s just looks more tight with the matching color plus like you said it looks OEM. nicely done Tan-man I love it 🔥🔥🔥💯

@valrandir 10 месяцев назад

Very nice, much improved like this. I think the reason why Subaru went with the huge black coutour was to imitate the trend for new models from other compagnies, hoping that it would make the WRX sell better. Surely their marketing people are not really WRX/STI enthusiasts. Now every WRX 2022+ owned has an easy solution + installation demo to "fix" this.

@ctrldkaos 10 месяцев назад

The paint match is where its at. The skirts and rear need the same treatment so it all flows together.

@igreyfox9793 10 месяцев назад

I love the paint matched flare/cladding so much more, but i kinda have to agree with Matt about the smaller piece side piece on the front bumper. The plastic cladding did kinda tie in the overall theme with the car and made it flow, but with that smaller fin on the lower side being painted, it kinda throws off the skirt and the front bumper a little. Persoanlly, i would maybe grab a black spray can, and paint that front side fin to make it flow again instead of paint matchkng the skirts.

Looks way better with the matched flares. The only other thing I'd do is color match the textured section of the rear bumper. That's it. Some people go way overboard with color match, you still need some contrast.

@Tomas.X 7 месяцев назад

Everyone gives themselves away as a non-Subaru fan if they were surprised by the fenders. Subaru was showing them on their VIZIV concepts for years. Only difference was they were carbon fiber. But a road car isn't a concept car, and yeah, didn't quite have the cool/quirky effect as the concept. Well...until I dropped the car 18mm and mounted black wheels...and the VIZIV look began coming alive. I'm painting myself...black/clear. It will truly look finished. Rear bumper...it needs the BRZ rear bumper. No brainer. Doing "grafts" used to be reguler/rare thing...it was difficult. Mainly a European thing. Lots of grafting on Porsche's and BMW's in the 1990-2005 period. I figured 3D printing would make this stuff explode. That there would be 10 rear bumpers for the VB by now. Imagination appears to be fading away.

It just opens up a can of worms for the rest of the car because then I'd have to figure out what I wanna do with the rest 😮‍💨

@bellabashfool 4 дня назад

They did that because it’s primarily driven in states with high road salt and it’s better to have salt on plastic cladding than on paint.
