Awwww.....Saturday morning. 8:00 am. Slightly overcast. The wife and kids are still asleep. A nice cup of coffee. And a new episode of Gears and Gasoline! Life is good.

Can we all take a moment to appreciate these guys? Any other KZbinr would have made 16 different videos on the side skirts alone but in this single video we got suspension, wheels, interior, cosmetics, etc... So much content within 20 mins. Enjoyable to watch, straight to the point!

[@H2kPat0]

Love how all these small mods come together, looking forward to see you drive that car soon again Ben!

[@gnomino]

7:00 Ben I hope you recover soon. ;)

[@lucasbenton123]

I definitely recommend getting some subiebro bumper plugs for the front end of the car to cover up the license plate holes! Definitely will make it look super clean!

[@syedrehanfida]

GnG videos make me feel like I'm working on my own car, or racing my car. It's just a really good feeling watching you guys. I can't thank you enough! Thank you sooooo much for making me so happy!

[@marcomedina5344]

I have a 15 wrx I have had for about 5 1/2 years now as a daily. I love that car and seeing you do all these mods are very similar to what I have already done just makes me appreciate my ride that much more!

[@kpokfposkf]

Hopefully, we can see a Honda FIT GK5 series in the future, those are decent platforms to mod with for track.

[@DENDENMUSHIFROMZOU]

Great choice with the Fa500 coilovers. I actually got them for my bugeye because of you guys, it's funny to see it come full circle.

"How can a 2016 car be so crusty already" Well the car was from the Oregon area right? That shit is humid af, bad for metal ya know.

May I say one slight critique with your awesome content? The music is way louder than the speech. It's kinda tough for people who watch with a sound system from the TV. Get well soon Ben!

The new wheels you chose are BANGERS. Love it

[@dmk0210]

Sweet STI. Nice tasteful mods. I'm not usually a fan of white, but on this body style it looks great especially with those wheels. I'm running those same tires on my Wrex. I really love them on the back roads.

“It’s a beautiful machine. Somebody put in the wrench time”. Love the car and looks. Didn’t realize oil change and filter was underneath.

[@ninjatacoshark]

Old ejs have the oil filter right between the headers so thats always fun if you were driving it before hand. Also doesn't leave a lot of room to get torque on it with your hand so I usually just mangle it with some channel locks lol

[@BarbWaltersMusic]

Ive had 3 STI's and 2 WRX and man its crazy how just a proper drop and wheels can literally change a car. well done

[@l3lvck0ut]

you have such good taste in mods/cars. this thing looks so clean

[@haku_3713]

this setup is very clean and crisp and tbh I would want to the exact same, parts and everything. It's nice to drive your car hard but honestly like you said, I'd rather much daily it nice and just vibe everytime I drive. Always dreaming of owning a subi like this i am inspired.
