Finally PAINT MATCHING the VB WRX!

Aeroflow Dynamics Paint Matched Fender Flares: www.aeroflowdy...
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!

[@artblackwood7936]

I got used to the cladding and it didn't bother me, but without it the car looks more expensive.

[@KevinVo]

It definitely changes it up a bit. I didn't mind the cladding either but I've gotta say I prefer this.

[@astrolightsadventures4677]

The fact it’s ten mil wider is actually sick

[@Accost2u]

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.

[@cr0wmatic]

If only there's something we can do about the black on the rear bumper :D

[@alexmiranda3198]

There is actually, aerodynamics has done it :)

[@Darkslide2AR-FE]

It looks sooo much better!!! I agree with you, this is how the car should have came from the factory.

[@scottsyverson8912]

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.

[@RyansResolve]

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

[@KevinVo]

One thing at a time! Haha

[@chones_]

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.

[@derekf5495]

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.

[@TheOutlaw1221]

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.

[@LAAO369]

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.

[@KevinVo]

All in good time!!!

[@LAAO369]

Agreed, modding a car is an expensive hobby.

[@digitalsmithy]

the rear needs more paint than the front though...but yea..they both need some ha

[@warlockd8660]

This needs to be on every new wrx... 🔥

[@ryanm1394]

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

[@SarcasticComments23]

I actually liked the black a lot more :/ wonder what gloss black would have looked like

[@Casualfan101]

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! 🙏🏽

[@WrxJapanguy]

I’m on the fence I have a white one as well

[@Chiefhao]

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!

[@ezimm81]

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.

[@junebaka7877]

Personally love both but the AF flares make it look soo much better 😗👌🏼

[@Steven-v9z]

A must do if you get a vb wrx.

[@bc8Sooners]

So much better.

[@henrynewgent8481]

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.

[@realpopcaan]

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

[@im_an_alvani]

WOW that is a huge improvement!

[@shawnpitchford777]

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.

[@paultaeza6054]

Actually looks super nice! Gj kevin

[@trustno1_04]

Great video, thanks. Looks awesome 🤙

[@Gregsheppo66]

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. 👍

[@ecjaye]

Looks way better! Does Aeroflow make a paint matched rear bumper?

[@ad.8369]

9:56 angles 🙌

[@mattchernitsky6340]

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

[@oldpirate7434]

Looks very sharp!

[@steve8803]

looks good either way, but even better after.

[@ubroberts5541]

Great video. Thanks!

[@FernandoLucas48]

Honestly i like them both

[@ajvangorden1344]

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.

[@metalmonster34]

Looks sick. Are those the GT1 rims from AFD?

[@robertmorano2372]

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.

[@patrickyau0615]

something about the rear flares look off

[@Bl00dwerK]

Nice. Gotta change wheels now, for fitment and appearance.

[@davidstanic3081]

That looks way way way better. I don't know what Subaru were thinking putting unpainted parts on the car???

[@cvette2005]

Looks way better. But the fitment of the rear ones seems a little off, especially behind the wheels

[@Dreamevil2009]

Just a tip but I find if you heat while removing the tape will peel right off.

[@strawhatpirates4038]

let go it looks amazing

[@gonzalezeduardo28]

whoever says they don’t mind the black flares, is lying. They’re just stuck with them until they save up to get the paint matched ones.

[@SansooIan]

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.

[@Krenisky]

Definitely should’ve came from the factory like that.

[@notfrieze3843]

What do you do with the glue that comes with it ?

[@atpgarageatl]

While I don’t mind the cladding on the white this completely changes the look. Subaru should take notes!

[@RSALS734]

Damn, that looks great!

[@steve8803]

Are you going to paint the textured section of the rear bumper as well?

[@ivanarias399]

fire build!

[@KevinVo]

Thanks! Still lots to do!

[@russell3436]

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.

[@ohgryph]

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.

[@diallo1347]

Not everyone hates them. Especially those of use who actually rally.

[@xtrekrex]

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.

[@jrod78414]

I love them. Why look like everyone else its wrx. A rally car Not a Gtd car.

[@Vertignasse82]

Actually I like SOME contrast. For me the best solution is to keep the cladding but get the car in dark grey or black.

[@diemf50]

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

[@Woonderful86]

Please make products for the Gen 1 BRZ/86 as well!

[@Menace_sti]

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😂😂😂

[@dreday3169]

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

[@jamescooper5183]

I know right! I'm about to buy my own matching paint and clear coat and paint the factory ones...

[@Trisma]

100x better, the plastic grey guards are garbo

[@ApolloWRX23]

Hey what size spacers do you have on your wheels? I just got some new wheels and definitely need them to sit like that!??

[@noahlee1001]

S209 Vibes

[@verginsergin]

Needs paint matched side skirts.

[@elenchus]

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.

[@skatetown100]

The cladding has definitely grown on me from when the car first came out ..

[@timmyvechett]

Looks nice 9:23

[@CaptainBlitz]

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

[@rookietoprobuildz]

Easy mod, but major change 🔥

[@bmanboogie]

May I ask how much the flares cost you?

[@FA24D]

Much cleaner looking!

[@BikesCarsAndSake]

What an improvement!

[@KhmaiMedia]

sooo much better with the matching flares.

[@BartlettRacing66]

Only $750 out of pocket to make the car look like it should have out of the factory, excellent.

[@zn6andy]

kevin the goat

[@ppw350Zunit]

This alone makes this car look 100x better. Now if only you can replace that rear black section 😂

[@b3r15ky]

I guess 10mm really make a huge different eh?

[@hahaadventures4838]

What wheels are those? Specs please 🙏

[@athotic]

just bought

[@sschon31]

Any experience with the Aeroflow Dynamics rear wing?

[@KevinVo]

Not yet, but will likely be installing one!

[@nissan1580sx]

should have come out of the factory like this. much better looking

[@Will-hs2um]

The way it should’ve came from the factory! 👌 Hopefully the next redesign fixes the pug face rear end and ford Taurus front grille.

[@thxmasge]

Damn it’s SO MUCH BETTER like that

[@KevinVo]

It's pretty good isn't it!

[@DanielC.959]

Can you sell me your HRS clear tail lights from the BRZ you took off before SEMA?

[@maltpatriot4919]

Unfortunately with the white you can see in the video the color is off….

[@oOs4MzOo]

Whats is your offset?

[@ayeits_jp]

Should have came like that from factory tbh. Looks complete now 👍🏻

[@KevinVo]

Now we have something to build off of haha

[@EdwardSteadfast]

Team cladding for me, especially on white. But your monster truck looks pretty good! 😇

[@brian6speed]

You can tell the fitment isn't perfect. Painting oem would be better option. The fitment plus mismatched paint would bug me.

[@Chokiyumi]

Im actually getting the fenders in carbon fiber 🥵 to match my CF side skirts and lip

[@nathanjohnson705]

I bought these in black, and the paint has started to chip off after about 5 months of being installed.

[@vaporhazy]

I honestly wonder if just getting it painted would be better for the long term

[@kingkoongs]

Kevin có phải người Việt Nam không

[@ArkaynAdrian]

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..

[@dkoolin6529]

I like it but for $1000?

[@avguylyfe5837]

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

[@Kbang42]

Yessss…This is the look right here …. I never liked the black cladding on the white VBs.

[@VBwrex]

I like the cladding, I take my car to the track a lot and it protects my paint

[@lilfer8345]

So nice 💯👍

[@davidstanic3081]

You know what, gloss black would have looked nice if the car was black

[@devinmartin3673]

Honestly, fitment doesn't look good. Especially the back side of the rear flares. I think this is a great and easy solution for paint matching the flares, but I hope AFD iterates on this in the future.

[@aerowick4643]

It should've came like that from the factory

[@17.06.Copper]

PRO TIP* You can used WD40 to easily remove and eat away at the adhesive w.o damaging paint.

[@joejoemag22]

I’d rather keep the stock cladding. Those paint match flares scream tacky and rice

[@vaporhazy]

they're literally identical to how they look its just a paint difference LOL

[@phimhaymoingay6688]

anh là người việt nam đúng không ạ
